  1. 1. Comparison and optimization of extracellular vesicle (EV) capturing on functional thin films for their molecular profiling

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Prattakorn Metem; [2023]
    Keywords : extracellular vesicle; plasmonic nanohole array; atomic force microscopy; fluorescence analysis; extracellulära vesiklar; nanohålsuppsättning; atomkraftsmikroskopi; fluorescensanalys;

    Abstract : Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer encapsulated nanoparticles which have emerged as an excellent source of biomarkers for multiple diseases, including cancer. However, they are highly heterogeneous in their molecular compositions which remains a major challenge hindering the utilization of their biomarker potential. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis of Stiffness Measurement Methods on Extracellular Vesicles

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Hanna Kylhammar; [2022]
    Keywords : Extracellular Vesicles; AFM; Atomic Force Microscopy; Fluorescent Microscopy; Extracellulära Vesiklar; AFM; Atomkraftsmikroskopi; Fluorescensmikroskopi;

    Abstract : Extracellular vesicles are important players in cell-to-cell communication and have the potential to be used as biomarkers for decease. The mechanical properties of extracellular vesicles is an active field of research, with new methods and models being developed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Goodness-of-fit Tests for Time Dependent Ensemble Averages

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jake Lumsden; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Fitting a model to a time-dependent ensemble average is a process repeated frequently throughout biophysics. A selected ensemble-averaged observable (⟨y(t)⟩) for a given system can be predicted through the use of an estimated ensemble average, where the estimated ensemble average is created via simulated or experimental data sets.

  5. 4. The role of exosomes in sarcoidosis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elli Mouchtaridi; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease mostly affecting the lungs, marked by the presence of granulomas and the accumulation of interferon gamma (IFNγ)-producing T cells in the affected organs. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous vesicles with a size range of 50 nm to 5000 nm, with exosomes ranging from 50 to 150 nm. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effect of PIP2 on vesicles release in neural cells

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Jonathan Wahlund; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lipids serve numerous different processes in biological cell communication. As for the case ofPhosphatidylinositol‐(4,5)‐biphosphate (PIP2), which serves actin‐dynamics, endocytosis, and ofrecent importance, exocytosis. READ MORE
