    Keywords : Mucin; Hydrogel; Click-chemistry; Characterization; Self-healing; Injectable; Hydrogeler; Mucin; självhelande;

    Abstract : Immune-orchestrating biomaterials that precisely modulate the immune reac-tion to the host could lead the way for improving the implantation outcomein the transplantation field, in comparison to passive biomaterials. The lab-oratory of Dr. READ MORE

  3. 2. Biophysical differences between COPD, CF and healthy airways mucus.

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Vladislav Genevskiy; [2020]
    Keywords : CF; COPD; mucus; structure;

    Abstract : An improved understanding of the mucus biophysical alteration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is a milestone towards a more accurate and effective treatment of these common and highly debilitating conditions. Little is known about the variations in mucus structure between ill and healthy individuals. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design, evaluation and use of a microfluidic device for automated production of mucin microparticles for cell encapsulation for diabetes therapy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Bharathesh Badadamath; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Droplet microfluidics has prevalent growth in a wide range of applications in the life science field. This project is one such example where we used a droplet microfluidics tool for treating diabetes mellitus type 1. Mucin hydrogels (Muc-gels) modulate the immune response driving biomaterialinduced fibrosis.[1]. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mucin preparation and assembly into new biomaterials

    University essay from KTH/Medicinsk teknik

    Author : Xueying Zhong; [2016]
    Keywords : BSM􏰀; characterization􏰀; purification; 􏰀 chemical modification􏰀; hydrogel; BSM; karakterisering; rening; kemisk modifiering; hydrogel;

    Abstract : Mucins, the main macromolecular constituent responsible for gel-forming property in mucus, have great potential to act as new biological hydrogel for medical applications. Click chemistry reaction is an attractive tool to be applied in both bioconjugation and material science to form covalent bonds between molecules. READ MORE

  6. 5. Expression of mucins in normal salivary glands and mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary glands

    University essay from Malmö högskola/Odontologiska fakulteten (OD)

    Author : Matilda Llupi; Rabije Qoku; [2013]
    Keywords : Grading; immunohistochemistry; MUC; mucin; mucoepidermoid carcinoma; salivary gland;

    Abstract : Mucoepidermoid carcinom (MEC) är en malign mucin-producerande tumör som förekommer i både stora och små spottkörtlar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka histologiskt uttryck av muciner (MUC1, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, MUC6) i MEC för att eventuellt hitta en korrelation mellan kvalitativt mucinuttryck och tumörgrad.
