  1. 1. Detection of changes in white blood cells after activation using a density gradient inside microcapillaries

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Innas Forsal; [2016]
    Keywords : Neutrophils; activation; density gradient; capillary; centrifuge; infection; autoimmune disease; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Infections and autoimmune diseases are today affecting at least 1.7 billion of the world population [1]. There are today several methods used to try and diagnose infections and autoimmune diseases, but these cannot differentiate between infection due to different pathogens or autoimmune disease.

  3. 2. Increasing model robustness for stem cell regulation in plant shoots

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Niklas Korsbo; [2013]
    Keywords : WUSCHEL; CLAVATA; CLAVATA3; CORYNE; WUS; CLV3; CRN; meristem; stem cells; stem cell; model; feedback; network; Arabidopsis; signal; signaling; buffering; promoter; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The transcription factor WUSCHEL and the peptide CLAVATA3 have key roles to plat in the regulatory network effecting the differentiation of the stem cells at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis. The signal pathway of this network has been under investigation for several years and models utilizing the already identified parts of the network have been developed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Describing radial patterning and leaf polarity in plants using a model of a dynamic shoot apical meristem with primordia initiation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : André Larsson; [2012]
    Keywords : central; peripheral; miRNA; phyllotaxis; gene regulary network; plant; meristem; auxin; PIN1; REVOLUTA; KANADI; computational physics; biophysics; Arabidopsis; radial patterning; leaf; polarity; self-activation; feedback; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The initiation of leaf and flower primordia in plants occurs in the shoot apical meristem and results in visible large–scale regular patterns of organs. It has previously been proposed that the initiation of new primordia is triggered by the plant hormone auxin by a mechanism that is confined to the outermost epidermal layer of the meristem. READ MORE
