  1. 16. Modelling of gene regulatory and spatial mechanisms which pattern the early human neural tube

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Fredrik Bertilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Biophysics; systems biology; gene regulatory networks; neural tube; isthmic organizer; midbrain-hindbrain boundary; WNT; FGF; morphogens; reaction-diffusion; finite-difference; 3D modelling; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Tissue patterning during development is thought to be driven largely by gene regulatory responses to spatial gradients of molecular signals, known as morphogens. In this thesis, early patterning of the human neural tube is studied using two different gene regulatory network models. READ MORE

  2. 17. Particle focusing and separation in curved microchannels using elasto-inertial microfluidics

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Belinda Bergström; [2022]
    Keywords : Elasto-inertial microfluidics; particle focusing; particle separation; nanobiotechnology; Elastisk tröghetsmikrofluidik; partikelfokusering; partikelseparation; nanobioteknologi;

    Abstract : The passive particle separation method of elasto-inertial microfluidics have greatpotential in the field of physics, biology and chemistry. The objective of thisdegree project was to understand particle behavior in curved microchannels fornon-Newtonian fluids. READ MORE

  3. 18. Pushing the boundaries of acoustic particle separation: achieving high-throughput, avoiding spillover effects, investigating the effects of the particle concentration, and measuring acoustic properties

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Linda Péroux; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Acoustophoresis, i.e., the contactless manipulation of small cells or particles via acoustic waves is a gentle and label-free method that can, amongst others, be used to isolate rare cells such as circulating tumor cells from blood. To isolate enough cells, a large amount of sample needs to be processed in a reasonable amount of time. READ MORE

  4. 19. Adapting FDM 3D-printing for the manufacture of microfluidic devices

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Oskar Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : 3D-printing; addative manufacturing; fused deposition modelling; FDM; fused filament fabrication; FFF; microfluidics; microfluidic devices; lab-on-a-chip; microchannels; micro-channels; resolution; settings; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Microfluidic devices have so far not seen widespread use, even though they could potentially be cheaper, better and faster than traditional methods. A possible reason for this is the lack of a middle step between one-of-a-kind experimental devices and cheap mass produced devices. READ MORE

  5. 20. Investigation of acoustic whole blood plasmapheresis for minimization of endogenous blood loss in neonatal care

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Tobias Lindgren; [2021]
    Keywords : Acoustophoresis; peristaltic pump; flow cytometry; plasmapheresis; whole blood; extremely premature infants; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Early erythrocyte transfusion is common in infants born extremely premature. Research has shown that these children are at greater risk of morbidity later in life, and that iatrogenic blood loss from blood sample analysis is one of the contributing factors to the need for transfusions.
