  1. 16. Method development of an in vitro vertical Franz diffusion cell system to assess permeation of cosmetic active ingredients

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kemi - Ångström

    Author : Johanna Mattiasson; [2020]
    Keywords : chemistry; method development; Upsalite; Disruptive Materials; Franz; diffusion; penetration; permeation; skin; pharmaceuticals; cosmeceuticals; skincare; cosmetics; actives; mesoporous; material chemistry; kemi; kosmetika; Upsalite; Disruptive Materials; Franzcell; diffusion; läkemedel; metodutveckling; hud; penetration;

    Abstract : For evaluation of potential skincare ingredients, an in-house method using Static Franz diffusion cells and dialysis membranes was developed. Benzoic acid was chosen as a model substance along with L-ascorbic acid and α-Tocopherol. The cell conditions were tailored to encourage transmembrane diffusion. READ MORE

  3. 17. Genetic code expansion and dCas9-DAXXHBD as synthetic routes for epigenome editing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Michael Schrempf; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Epigenome editing has become a promising new tool to study the effects of singular histone modifications on the transcriptional activity of mammalian cells. Although many different approaches have been developed during the recent years many approaches used dCas9 fused epigenetic effector proteins to deposit the epigenetic mark at target sites. READ MORE

  4. 18. Engineering Vascularized Skin Tissue in a 3D format supported by Recombinant Spider Silk

    University essay from KTH/Proteinteknologi

    Author : Savvini Gkouma; [2020]
    Keywords : skin; BSE; bilayered skin tissue equivalent; 3D; in vitro; model; vascularized; recombinant spider silk; FN-4RepCT; dermis; epidermis;

    Abstract : Skin is an organ with a complex structure which plays a crucial role in thebody’s defence against external threats and in maintaining major homeostatic functions. The need for in vitro models that mimic the in vivo milieu is therefore high and relevant with various applications including, among others, penetration, absorption, and toxicity studies. READ MORE

  5. 19. Estimation of Red Blood Cell-Count using Neural Networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : David Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Artificial neural networks; ANN; Convolutional neural networks; CNN; Red Blood Cells; Hematology; Image analysis; Regression; Malaria; Counting; Automation; Microscopy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Quantification through image analysis is used in a multitude of fields, and often requires algorithms tailored to the specific task and object that needs to be quantified. The need for flexibility means that such segmentation algorithms are quickly becoming outdated with the advent of convolutional neural networks, which can be trained to fit the specific requirements of the user.

  6. 20. Studying the effects of Muscone on PANC-1 in vitro

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Kyriaki Gerontaki; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this project cancer was viewed as a metabolic disorder. The study focused on the effect of synthetic muscone on PANC-1 cells. Synthetic muscone is a ketone. Some cancers lack the potential to metabolise ketone bodies, mainly due to mitochondrial dysfunction. READ MORE
