  1. 1. Phenotype and function of imiquimod-treated MUTZ-3 derived Langerhans cells in potential psoriatic 3D skin model

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Emilie Allentoft Schousboe; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D models; imiquimod; Langerhans cells; MUTZ-3 cell line; pro-inflammatory cytokines; psoriasis;

    Abstract : Upon encounter of an antigen, epidermis-resident Langerhans cells (LCs) become activated and present the processed antigen to T cells of the draining lymph nodes, resulting in tolerogenic or inflammatory responses. In psoriasis plaques, skin homeostasis is disrupted and replaced by an inflammatory dermatitis. READ MORE

  3. 2. Can biomarkers identify oral leukoplakia at high risk of malignant transformation? : A systematic review

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Ronnie Hasan; [2023]
    Keywords : Precision medicine; oral neoplasms; brush biopsies; biomarkers; oral leukoplakia.;

    Abstract : Introduction Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) frequently develop from oral potentially malignantdisorders (OPMDs). Oral leukoplakia (OL) is a white lesion in the oral mucosa and the mostprevalent OPMD. Malignant transformation rates for OL to OSCC has recently been reportedto 9.8%. READ MORE

  4. 3. Novel ways of treating bacterial skin infections: the antimicrobial peptides REI-26 and CD4-PP

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Magdalena de Arriba Sánchez de la Campa; [2022]
    Keywords : Antimicrobial peptides; skin infections; wound healing;

    Abstract : Severe skin and soft-tissue infections can lead to septic shock and organ failure. Antibiotic treatment is turning ineffective due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for the need for novel antimicrobial therapies such as antimicrobial peptides. READ MORE

  5. 4. Permeability of fluorescently labelled proteins in silk-based skin equivalent

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaci

    Author : Gabriel Chumpitaz Chavez; [2021]
    Keywords : skin equivalent; recombinant spider silk; fibroblasts; keratinocytes; permeability; Franz cells; fluorescence; bovine serum albumin; sodium fluorescein salt;

    Abstract : Development of methods for studying drug delivery systems is of great significance for the improvement of topical formulations. Active compounds for topical drug delivery are often formulated into gels and creams, that can be applied onto skin surfaces. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigation of the gene expression landscape of human skin wounds

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Yuen Ting Cheung; [2021]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; wound healing; lncRNA; long non-coding RNA;

    Abstract : Wound healing is a complex physiological process. Effective wound healing enables the skin barrier function to be restored once the skin is injured. However, due to the complex nature of wounds, the mechanisms underlying tissue repair are still poorly understood. READ MORE
