  1. 1. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Elsa Karjalainen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards an understanding of the Retraction of TYPE IV PILI as a Mechanoresponse upon surface contact in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Antoine Loussouarn; [2022]
    Keywords : Mechanosensing; Microscopy; Bacteria; Microfabrication; Genetics; Molecular Biology; Biophysics;

    Abstract : Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium which is involved in nosocomial infections and which causes increasing concern in healthcare due to its high antibiotic resistance. During an infection by P.aeruginosa, the bacteria proliferate in the host’s organism by leveraging motility abilities. READ MORE

  4. 3. Identification of changes in biomarkers relevant for breast cancer biology occurring in a novel 3D-Biosilk model

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Emmy Ståhl; [2021]
    Keywords : 3D-Biosilk; breast cancer; 3D cell culture; recombinant spider silk; ZO-1; 3D-Biosilk; bröstcancer; 3D cellkultur; rekombinant spindeltråd; ZO-1;

    Abstract : Bröstcancer är den vanligaste formen av cancer som drabbar kvinnor. Det är en heterogen och komplex sjukdom som består av flera undergrupper, var och en med distinkt morfologi och kliniska implikationer [1]. För att modellera och studera cellbiologi, vävnadsmorfologi, molekylära mekanismer och läkemedels effekter används cellkulturer [2]. READ MORE

  5. 4. The role of salt inducible kinases in the regulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway in adipocytes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Sulochana Kotresh Jali; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Salt inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) is found abundantly in adipose tissue and may have a role in the development of diabetes. SIK2 is downregulated in insulin-resistant and obese individuals, thereby providing a new potential target for therapeutic solutions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Introducing quality assessment and efficient management of cellular thermal shift assay mass spectrometry data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Joakim Hellner; [2017]
    Keywords : Cellular thermal shift assay; Information management system; Quality Assessent; Melt curve; Target engagement; Mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Recent advances in molecular biology has led to the discovery of many new potential drugs. However, difficulties with in situ analysis of ligand binding prevents quick advancement in clinical trials, which stresses the need for better direct methods. READ MORE
