1. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

2. Evaluation of antioxidant effect of an algae extract on skin: in vitro study
University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)Abstract : Algae extracts are used as cosmetic products and used as additives in specific foods because of their antioxidant activity. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radicals are toxic on the skin and can be scavenged by antioxidants, which are abundant in microalgae. READ MORE

3. SINGLE AND COMBINED EXPOSURE OF POLYSTYRENE NANOPARTICLES AND NORTH SEA MARINE OIL IN TWO IN VITRO FISH MODELS
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : The awareness of micro-and nanoplastic pollution and its impact on the marine ecosystem has increased over the last decade. Nanoplastics may affect aquatic organisms since their small size and high surface-to-volume ratio increases their bioavailability and ability to cross biological membranes. READ MORE

4. 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 biovetenskapAbstract : 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.

5. GSK-3 and ROS (reactive oxygen species) inhibition modulate Vimentin expression
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : When exposed to pathogenic stress, cellular processes and survival are dependent on cytoskeletal proteins for structure and organisation of the cell to adapt and maintain homeostasis during inflammation. Vimentin is type III cytoskeletal protein, with an extensive cytoplasmic meshwork, across the cell and regulate the cell structure and cellular space and expressed strongly under tumorigenic events.
