  1. 36. Capillary Organic Electronic Ion Pump for Delivering Malic Acid - Towards Better Understanding of Drought Tolerance in Tropical Plants

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Laboratoriet för organisk elektronik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Alexandra Sandéhn; [2021]
    Keywords : malic acid; malate; ion delivery; implantable devices; organic bioelectronics; plants; Teknisk fysik; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : Delivery of biologically relevant ions such as drugs, neurotransmitters and hormones have been recognized as powerful a tool to control physiology of animals and plants for research purposes and practical applications. In the plant research community, ions are most commonly delivered as part of a solvent by soaking, spraying, pipetting or by adding to the soil. READ MORE

  2. 37. 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

  3. 38. Lactate as a signaling molecule : A potential role in controlling exercise induced adaptations in human skeletal muscle

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Fabian Nordström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction The lactate molecule has a key role in human energy metabolism, particularly in skeletal muscle: acting as a buffer within the muscle cell enabling glycolysis to continue during high energy demand, as well as acting as an energy shuttle between cells. The lactate molecule has also lately been shown to act as a signaling molecule in non-human models acting as a signaling molecule regulating the transcriptional process, potentially controlling the expression of several important metabolic proteins.

  4. 39. 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

  5. 40. The effect of gut microbiota and insecticide resistance on host plant preferences and voracity of the cotton fly, Spodoptera littoralis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)
