  1. 1. Application of Biomimetic Membrane Models in Expansion Microscopy

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Praghadhesh Thiagarajan; [2023]
    Keywords : Fluorescence microscopy; expansion microscopy; GPMV; inter-leaflet asymmetry; Fluorescensmikroskopi; expansionsmikroskopi; GPMV; asymmetri mellan lagren;

    Abstract : Plasmamembranet är en komplex struktur som består av biomolekyler som lipider, proteiner och glykaner. Membranets rena komplexitet begränsar vår förmåga att förstå den spatiotemporala dynamiken hos sådana komponenter och deras kollektiva biofysiska membranparametrar. READ MORE

  3. 2. Intracellular Membrane Remodeling Mechanisms Revealed by Cryo-EM

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Sigrid Mack; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Endophilin B1 (EnB1) is a BAR protein located in the cytosol that controls membrane dynamics of different organelles such as the mitochondria and the Golgi, as well as autophagosomes. It has been suggested that this protein coordinates membrane remodeling events during essential cell death processes. READ MORE

  4. 3. Molecular Mechanisms of Endophilin B1-Bax Macromolecular Complexes in Membrane Permeabilization and Cell Death

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tobias Kollberg Hedström; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A crucial step during apoptosis is the accumulation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax on the mitochondria where it triggers permeabilization of the outer membrane. This causes the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol and is considered a point of no return in programmed cell death. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effectivity of vacuum impregnation with glycerol and secondary metabolites on electroporated arugula leaves to improve freezing stability.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Oscar de Kuijer; [2021]
    Keywords : Pulsed electric field PEF; Arugula; Electroporation; Secondary metabolites; Glycerol; Food engineering; Livsmedelsteknik; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

    Abstract : Freeze damage is a common issue in many food items. The cellular dehydration caused by freezing can be prevented through addition of a cryoprotectant. Research has shown that it is possible to improve the freezing tolerance of plant materials by addition of cryoprotectants, which forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules. READ MORE

  6. 5. Designing the Superplant: Increasing Lipid Signaling for Enhanced Phosphorus Uptake

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Louise Jedemark; [2021]
    Keywords : Lipid flippases; Arabidopsis; Yeast; Transport biology; Applied Biochemistry; Tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. READ MORE
