  1. 1. Characterization of encystation in Giardia intestinalis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Johanna Schwarz; [2023]
    Keywords : Giardia intestinalis; parasite; encystation; transcription factors;

    Abstract : Giardia intestinalis is a protozoan parasite causing the diarrheal disease called giardiasis that infects millions of people worldwide each year. The life cycle of Giardia intestinalis is characterized by two stages; the sturdy, infectious cyst and the vegetative, motile trophozoite. READ MORE

  3. 2. Panacea: Predicting anti-aging combinations from expression analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ashwini Jatti; [2023]
    Keywords : aging; machine learning; drug combinations; rejuvenation; cellular reprogramming;

    Abstract : Identifying interventions, such as drugs, that can counteract the effects of aging is crucial due to the complex nature of the aging process, which involves multiple biological processes. By targeting these processes, interventions have the potential to promote healthy aging. READ MORE

  4. 3. Molecular Mechanisms of Endophilin B1-Bax Macromolecular Complexes in Membrane Permeabilization and Cell Death

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tobias Kollberg Hedström; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A crucial step during apoptosis is the accumulation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax on the mitochondria where it triggers permeabilization of the outer membrane. This causes the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol and is considered a point of no return in programmed cell death. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of skin care ingredients on keratinocytes : - Interplay between osmotic stress, cell viability, and gene expression towards increased understanding of keratinocyte differentiation

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

    Author : Kassem Awad; [2021]
    Keywords : Cell viability; Keratinocytes; Osmotic stress; qPCR; Skin; Water activity;

    Abstract : The epidermis is composed of multiple cell strata where viable keratinocytes, in the basal layer (stratum basale (SB)), go through a range of steps with the final stage of being dead corneocytes in the outer most layer (stratum corneum (SC)). The differentiation, which can be thought of as programmed cell death, include several key processes that are essential for an intact skin barrier.

  6. 5. Investigation Of Human Cancer Immune Interaction Using In Vitro Assays

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Irineos Papakyriacou; [2020]
    Keywords : Cancer immunotherapy; nivolumab; durvalumab;

    Abstract : Cancer immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint blocking antibodies are important components for treatment of patients with various types of cancer as they enhance the ability of the immune system to fight tumours. However, tumor cells have the ability to develop resistance to a variety of transitional therapies such as chemotherapy. READ MORE
