  1. 1. Testing Coagulation Potential of Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Aortic Stenosis Patients on Human Cardiac Spheroids

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

    Author : Muhammad Nafiz Ikhwan Bin Nor Fuad; [2023]
    Keywords : Extracellular vesicles; human aortic endothelial cells; tissue factor; TNFα; coagulation pathway; cardiac spheroids;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases have always been the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Aortic stenosis, which is a kind of cardiovascular disease has a high prevalence in elderlies that are 75 years and older. Currently, the only available treatment would be valve replacement surgery.

  4. 3. Development of Microfluidic 3D Cell Culture with a Nanocellulose-Based Scaffold for Spheroid Formation as a Potential Tool for Drug Screening

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sara Payande; [2022]
    Keywords : 3D cell culture; Scaffold; Microfluidics; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulose Nanofibrils; Spheroids; HepG2; 3D cellodling; Matris; Mikrofluidik; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulosa Nanofibriller; Sfäroider; HepG2;

    Abstract : Abstract  Lack of clinical relevance is assumed to be the main reason behind the high failure rate of medical drugs in the very initial phases of clinical trials. Clinical relevance is difficult to achieve with current tools as they lack the biological and physiological cues found in vivo. READ MORE

  5. 4. Interactions between Rho-ROCK signaling and the tumor microenvironment in neuroblastoma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Adena Pepich; [2021]
    Keywords : cancer and oncology; pediatric cancer; neuroblastoma; rho ROCK signaling; rho-associated kinases; tumor microenvironment; cytotoxic T cells; neuroblastom; pediatrik onkologi; rho-kinaser;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, emerging from cells of the neural crest. In Sweden, neuroblastoma accounts for 20 cases out of all, 300-350, pediatric cancer cases each year (Barncancerfonden 2019, Turup on behalf of Cancer Centrum 2019). READ MORE

  6. 5. Transport of non-spherical particles in pipeflow with suction

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Emil Wångby; [2020]
    Keywords : Brownian motion; Non-spherical particles; Pipe flow;

    Abstract : The interest of how small non-spherical particles transport behaviour when transported in pipe-flow is of large interest in a variety applications. This kind of theory have been used when studying composite manufacturing and how particles behaves in the human lungs. READ MORE
