  1. 6. Effect of PIP2 on vesicles release in neural cells

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Jonathan Wahlund; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lipids serve numerous different processes in biological cell communication. As for the case ofPhosphatidylinositol‐(4,5)‐biphosphate (PIP2), which serves actin‐dynamics, endocytosis, and ofrecent importance, exocytosis. READ MORE

  3. 7. Effects of cold treatment on Arabidopsis thaliana : a study in the change of gene expression levels in some selected COR-genes and composition of important cell membrane lipids of A. thaliana

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Artur Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Arabidopsis thaliana; cold stress; membrane lipids; gene expression; quantification; PCR; extraction;

    Abstract : The effect of cold stress in Arabidopsis thaliana, mouse cress, was examined. The object was to investigate how gene expression and membrane lipid configuration was affected in seedlings when being treated with low temperature. READ MORE

  4. 8. Affinity of Alpha-Synuclein and Lipid Vesicle Interaction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Ahmed Masaada; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Alpha-synuclein is a protein involved in several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s, where it has been observed to form amyloid fibrils or Lewy bodies. However, how or to what extent alpha-synuclein is involved is not known. READ MORE

  5. 9. Formation of Monolayered Phospholipids using Molecular Dynamics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekyl- och kondenserade materiens fysik

    Author : Rebecka Lexelius; [2018]
    Keywords : phospholipids; lipids; DPPC; monolayer; molecular dynamics; MD; molecular dynamics simulation; GROMACS; biological membrane; lipid concentration; biophysics;

    Abstract : The very fundamental properties of biological membranes can be understood by studying their formation. This sets a good foundation for research related to how the membranes interact with organic molecules and ions; something of great value in the quest of explaining transport phenomena through cell membranes.

  6. 10. 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.
