    Abstract : The innate immune system are a cooperation of many components – receptors being one of them. Both membrane-bound and cytosolic receptors play a large role in the defence system against pathogens and danger. READ MORE

  5. 4. Construction of a Fusion Gene : to anchor a truncated version of the inflammatory receptor NLRP3 to the cell membrane

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Miguel Ángel Postigo Peláez; [2019]
    Keywords : NLRP3; Inflammation; Fusion gene; PCR; Fusion protein;

    Abstract : Inflammasomes are a group of protein complex that regulate inflammation throughcomplex signal transduction, although their specific mechanisms and structures have notbeen fully described. As the protein that kickstarts assembly of a type of inflammasome,NLRP3 is a key regulator of inflammation and may play a relevant role in the developmentof inflammatory diseases. READ MORE

  6. 5. Membrane tension-mediated growth of liposomes : A step closer to synthetic cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sai Sreekar Wunnava Venkata; [2018]
    Keywords : synthetic cells; liposomes; growth; membrane fusion; bottom-up biology; microfluidics;

    Abstract : Living cells are highly complex, making it an extremely challenging task to understand how they function. A possible solution is the bottom-up assembly of non-living components and building up life-like features from scratch, i.e., using synthetic cells as a tool to understand the basic characteristics of life.
