  1. 31. Analysis of DNA methylation changes and behavioural outcomes in adulthood induced by prenatal exposure to a mixture of endocrine disrupting chemicals

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Shane Kamil; [2022]
    Keywords : Toxicology; Developmental biology; Epigenetics; Genetics; Methylation; EDC; Toxins; Chemicals; Mixture effect; Mediation; Toxikologi; Utvecklingsbiologi; Epigenetik; Genetik; Metylering; Miljögifter;

    Abstract : Endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs, are some of the most prevalent toxic chemicals found in the environment because of human activity and they have a variety of adverse effects on both humans and wildlife. A proposed mechanism through which EDCs can negatively affect an organism is via an epigenetic mechanism known as DNA methylation, which can affect the development of the organism with negative outcomes later in life.

  3. 32. Frequency analysis of whisker movement in mouse models of Parkinson's disease

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Vilhelm Hellmér; André Fredriksen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As the life expectancy in the world increases, so does the prevalence of many age-related diseases. One such disease is Parkinson’s disease (PD) which is a neurological disease that affects patients through tremors, muscle stiffness and has an inhibitory effect on movement. READ MORE

  4. 33. Developing a Method to Study the Impact of Microbial DNA on the Brain Related to Alzheimer’s Disease – Can Food Make a Change?

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

    Author : Fuh-Tzu Yang; [2022]
    Keywords : DNA extraction; Microbiome DNA enrichment; Host DNA depletion; 16S rRNA sequencing; Alzheimer’s disease; Gut-brain axis; Microbiota; Microbial DNA; Black currant; Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Understanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. READ MORE

  5. 34. VISUALIZING CATESTATIN AND CHROMOGRANIN A : An Antibody Validation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Johan William-Olsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Diabetes; immunology; western blot; flow cytometry; immunofluorescence;

    Abstract : Chromogranin A (CgA) and its cleavage product Catestatin (CST) are two very interesting proteins, especially due to their possible involvement in the development of type 1 diabetes. There are currently only a few primary antibodies against CgA and CST, and the ones that do exist are often only recommended for use on one method. READ MORE

  6. 35. Classification of healthy and Parkinson’s disease state mice using whisker movements

    University essay from KTH/Datavetenskap

    Author : Philip Tumwa; Sandra Möttus; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Modelling diseases in mice provides a useful way of studying the disease. The motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) can be studied by observing the whisker movements of mice with PD condition. Mice use their whiskers to gather information about their environment and guide their locomotion. READ MORE
