1. 6. Characterization of a novel EPHB2 R155C mutant with respect to its proteolytic cleavage by TF/FVIIa

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Ece Akcan; [2021]
   Keywords : cancer; colorectal cancer; CRC; ephrin receptor; EPHB2; tissue factor; TF; TF FVIIa; cleavage; cell repulsion;

   Abstract : EPHB2, an ephrin receptor (EPH) from receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family, is one of the substrates for tissue factor (TF) - coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) complex and it is cleaved in its ectodomain. EPHB2 cleavage is important for ephrin receptor (EPH) - ephrin ligand (EFN) signaling and cell repulsion. READ MORE

3. 7. The use of a CRISPR-Cas9 system to protect probiotic strains from transferrable drug resistance genes

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

   Author : Sara Lundberg; [2021]
   Keywords : CRISPR-Cas9; antibiotic resistance; horizontal gene transfer; probiotic bacteria;

   Abstract : The discovery of antibiotics have revolutionized modern medicine, facilitating the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections, enabled surgeries otherwise impossible to perform and increased life expectancy in all countries. However, the rapid development of resistance among microorganisms and the increasing numbers of clinical outbreaks caused by multiresistant bacteria have accelerated the need for new alternatives to antibiotics.

4. 8. The transfer of chromosomal genes through bacterial conjugation in Escherichia coli

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

   Author : Arijana Katana; [2021]
   Keywords : conjugation; escherichia coli; hybrid;

   Abstract : Evolution in bacteria occurs through the combined effects of spontaneous mutations and horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Several mechanisms can lead to HGT: (i) transformation, the uptake of DNA from the environment; (ii) transduction, the transfer of DNA carried by a bacteriophage into another bacterium during infection; and (iii) conjugation, bacterial mating mediated by a conjugative plasmid like the F-factor.

5. 9. Bridging inflammatory bowel diseases and hepatobiliary disorders through pathway enrichment and module-based approach

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Alaa Saloum; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are associated with various hepatobiliary disorders. Two of the chronic hepatobiliary disorders that may coexist with inflammatory bowel diseases are: primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). READ MORE

6. 10. Characterization of graphene-based sensors for forensic applications : Evaluating suitability of CVD graphene-based resistive sensor for detection of amphetamine

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Ülle-Linda Talts; [2019]
   Keywords : Sensor systems; Chemical sensors; Nanosensors; Drug screening; Nanomaterials; Sensorsystem; Kemiska sensorer; Nanosensorer; Drug screening; Nanomaterial;

   Abstract : Recent improvements in sensor technology and applications can be partly attributed to the advancements in microand nanoscale fabrication processes and discovery of novel materials. The emergence of reliable and inexpensive methods of production of monolayer materials, such as graphene, has revealed the advantageous electronic properties which when utilized in sensory elements can significantly enhance response to the input signal.
