  1. 21. Investigation of the function of the SH3-like domain of the Saccharopolyspora erythraea iron-dependent regulator

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - BMC

    Author : Carita Hammar; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The bacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea is utilized to produce the widely used antibiotic erythromycin. With the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance, the development of derivatives of the drug is of great importance. To produce antibiotics biosynthetically, it is crucial to understand the metabolic pathways utilized by the bacterium. READ MORE

  3. 22. Impact of insulin, glucagon and the I-G complex on cell viability and metabolism in Panc-1

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Katarina Brantingson Skogfält; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer has been found not only to be a disease of genetic mutations, but also a metabolic state by which insulin and glucagon has an impact on cancer cells. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal cancer with high risk of recurrence of cancer cells after cancer therapy treatment with a worse outcome. READ MORE

  4. 23. Implementation of a straightforward derivatizationmethod for the simultaneous analysis of short chainfatty acids and tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolitesby LC-qToF-MS.

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Renée Levisson; [2021]
    Keywords : Short-chain fatty acids; tricarboxylic acid TCA cycle; chemical derivatization; 3-nitrophenylhydrazine;

    Abstract : Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites aresmall hydrophilic compounds that play crucial roles in biological species ranging fromenergy metabolism, immune homeostasis to cellular signalling. There is a need for reliableand precise quantification of these metabolites in biological matrices as they can providecrucial information of metabolic status and potentially be used as diagnostic biomarkersfor different pathological and physiological conditions.

  5. 24. Expression of the chloride channel CLCC1 is downregulated after 24 hours in LPS-primed THP-1 monocyte-like cell line

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Omar Babena; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammation is the body's response to infection or injury and is mediated by the innate immune system. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multi-protein complex that is a major contributor to many inflammatory disorders. Emerging evidence suggests the involvement of the Endoplasmic reticulum stress with the NLRP3 inflammasome. READ MORE

  6. 25. Subcellular mapping of cell types in healthy human pancreatic islets

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Frida Björklund; [2021]
    Keywords : Pancreatic islets; Multiplex tissue imaging; CODEX; DNA-conjugated antibodies; Spatial cell biology; Langerhanska öar; Multiplex mikroskopisk avbildning av vävnad; CODEX; DNA-konjugerade antikroppar; Spatial cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Pancreatic islets are composed of endocrine cells that secrete hormones essential for blood-glucose homeostasis. Prior research has revealed that the gene expression and functionality of human islet cells is heterogenous. READ MORE
