  1. 1. Validation of micro-platelet LED for subcellular optogenetic activation in primary cell cultures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Daniel Jaghobi Pourshalmani; [2018]
    Keywords : Optogenetics; epilepsy; microplatelet; LED; primary cell cultures; adhesion proteins; electrophysiology; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is to this day still a serious neurological diseases where treatments such as pharmaceutical agents and surgery can at most alleviate the symptoms, but not cure it. This disease is still not fully understood at a cellular and network-level, but the recent advancements in the field of optogenetics can serve as an alternative way of studying the brain and diseases such as epilepsy.

  3. 2. Evaluation of blood interactions with a drug loaded protein matrix

    University essay from Tillämpad Fysik

    Author : Maria Wallstedt; [2011]
    Keywords : titanium; implant; bisphosphonates; coagulation; platelet adhesion;

    Abstract : Many things might happen in the body when a titanium implant is inserted into bone. Examples are activation of the immune system and imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption, which might lead to damaged bone around the implant and at worse, loosening of the implant.

  4. 3. Study of the insulin-like peptide 3 in human platelets

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Mathias Borg; [2009]
    Keywords : INSL3; Insulin-like peptide 3;

    Abstract : The insulin-like 3 peptide is autocrine/paracrine insulin-related hormone with a size of approximately 6kDa [1]. It mediates through a leucine richG-coupled receptor named LGR8. INSL3 is mainly expressed in human Leydig cells and is directly responsible for migration of the testis during the pre-natal period in maledevelopment. READ MORE

  5. 4. A comparison of SPS  and HP sintered, electroless copper plated carbon nanofibre composites for heat sink applications

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Jennifer Ullbrand; [2009]
    Keywords : electroless plating; SPS; spark plasma sintering; HP; hot pressing; CNF; carbon nanofibre; carbon nanofiber; heat sinks; thermal conductivity; thermal diffusivity; Cu; composite; flash technique;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to synthesize a material with high thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), useful as a heat sink. Carbon nanofibres (CNF) are first coated with copper by an electroless plating technique and then sintered to a solid sample by either spark plasma sintering (SPS) or hot pressing (HP). READ MORE
