  1. 26. Comparison of manual and semi-automatic RNA extraction methods using two-tailed RT-qPCR for absolute quantification as part of the sepsis diagnosis research

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Elia Callado Prat; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nowadays, sepsis has become a major healthcare problem. Its variance of symptoms and the lack of time to act makes it greatly difficult to treat. An early diagnosis using biomarkers, particularly miRNA, could potentially increase the patient’s prognosis as well as reduce the use of antibiotics for the treatment. READ MORE

  3. 27. An Investigation of The Link Between Endocrine Disruption and Developmental Neurotoxicity Induced by Environmental Pollutants : In Zebrafish Embryos

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

    Author : Maria Revenikioti; [2023]
    Keywords : Endocrine-disrupting chemical EDC ; Environmental pollutants; Endocrine disruption ED ; Developmental neurotoxicity DNT ; Development; Zebrafish embryos; Estradiol; DHT; BPF; PFOS.;

    Abstract : Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are known to cause endocrine disruption (ED), developmental neurotoxicity (DNT), infertility and impaired embryo development. EDCs do therefore impose a threat to humans, wildlife and the environment. READ MORE

  4. 28. The role of AmotL2 in the regulation of mesenchymal transitioning of endothelial cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Anita-Ann Monteiro; [2023]
    Keywords : Endothelial-mesenchymal transition EndMT ; atherosclerosis; transforming growth factor β TGF-β ; Angiomotin-Like 2 AmotL2 ; Scrambled Scr ; knockdown kd ; Immunofluorescence IF ;

    Abstract : Background During development, endothelial cells acquire mesenchymal-like properties to migrate and facilitate normal vascular formation. This process of transformation is known as endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and has also been implicated in diseases like vascular pathologies contributing to endothelial inflammation, atherosclerosis and tumour angiogenesis.

  5. 29. Investigations of miR-34a structure and dynamics by SHAPE MaP and optimal time between transfection and modification by qPCR

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Ellinor Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : SHAPE MaP; qPCR; miRNA; HNF4α; mRNA-34a; SHAPE MaP; qPCR; miRNA; HNF4α; mRNA-34a;

    Abstract : microRNA (miRNA) är korta icke-kodande RNA sekvenser som har fått ökande uppmärksamhet då de kan binda till mRNA och styra vårt genuttryck. Omkring trettio procent av våra proteinkodande gener styrs av miRNA. miRNA binder till mRNA vilket hindrar dess translation eller leder till nedbrytning av mRNA. READ MORE

  6. 30. Experimental validation of PLAC8 in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Martin Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) are the most common malignant tumor in the small bowel. It is a small-growing cancer with good overall survival 5 years after diagnosis, but no full cure is available when in the metastatic stage. READ MORE
