  1. 1. Factors and mechanisms associating the mobilisation of Ca2+ with the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Maria Panagiota Theodorou; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that play a critical role in the regulation of inflammation and the inflammatory responses against pathogens. NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR-and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) is among the molecules involved in the homonymous and well-studied NLRP3 inflammasome that accounts for the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL) 1-β and 18.

  3. 2. Computational study of single protein sensing using nanopores

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

    Author : Sebastian Cardoch; [2020]
    Keywords : nanopores; protein sensing; mini-proteins; silicon nitride; ionic current; molecular dynamics; density functional theory; amino acids;

    Abstract : Identifying the protein content in a cell in a fast and reliable manner has become a relevant goal in the field of proteomics. This thesis computationally explores the potential for silicon nitride nanopores to sense and distinguish single miniproteins, which are small domains that promise to facilitate the systematic study of larger proteins.

    Abstract : This report summarizes the work on the cloning, expression, and purification of PerR, a metal sensing regulator from Saccharopolyspora erythraea and the subsequent characterization using small angle X-ray scattering and other biochemical methods. The report aims to provide an insight into prokaryotic metal homeostasis, provide a better understanding of how PerR works and provide valuable information for the continued work on the crystallization of PerR.

  5. 4. Real-Time Monitoring of Neurovascular Cells

    University essay from KTH/Mikro- och nanosystemteknik

    Author : Vladimir Banovic; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Organs-on-a-chip devices are perfused cell culture systems aimed at creating the minimal functional unit of an organ - suchas the neurovascular unit (NVU) of the brain. NVU-on-a-chip platforms can provide an effective framework for studyingcentral nervous system physiology, disease etiology and provide a mean for drug development. READ MORE

  6. 5. Precisionsodling av vall : sensormätning som analysredskap för proteininnehåll och skörd

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Emma Hellstedt; [2017]
    Keywords : sensormätning; hyperspektral; vegetationsindex; NDVI; GNDVI; SR; blandvall; gräsvall; PLS; fältförsök;

    Abstract : Cultivated grassland is an important crop, both considering crop sequence and live- stock keeping. It is cultivated on 45 % of the Swedish arable land, but it is a crop that differs from grains regarding time of harvest, number of harvests and composi- tion of species. In other crops e.g. READ MORE
