11. Synovial fluid components as synergistic lubricants in articular joint models
University essay from KTH/KemiAbstract : The excellent lubrication present within mammalian synovial joints attracted scientific interest, and some close-to-realistic models were applied to study the mechanism in vitro. In this project, the synergistic lubrication of synovial fluid was investigated by using 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), hyaluronic acid (HA), and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS buffer) to mimic the synovial fluid.

12. Native incorporation of outer membrane proteins into vesicles suitable for high resolution NMR spectroscopy
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins. The method has mainly been used for membrane proteins solubilized in detergent or embedded in membrane mimetic systems. READ MORE

13. Constructing supported lipid bilayers from native cell membranes
University essay from Lunds universitet/Biofysikalisk kemiAbstract : The aim of this MSc-project was to investigate whether it is possible to incorporate native cell membrane components from Jurkat T cells into supported lipid bilayers, SLBs, to produce a model membrane system better resembling the native cell membranes in T cells. The procedure of forming native-like SLBs (nSLB) was adapted from an existing protocol and is done through the deposition of hybrid vesicles onto a cleaned glass slide. READ MORE

14. The effects of differentiationand neurotoxin on the global geneexpression in neuronal cells
University essay fromAbstract : Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is a neurotoxin created by some strains of bacteria inthe family Clostridium. The toxin causes the disease Botulism that has symptoms of paralyzesthat can last for several weeks. Neuroblastoma cell lines were treated with the toxin BoNT/A.These kinds of cells are a common cancer form in children. READ MORE

15. A calorimetric study of α-synuclein fibril formation & peptide induced vesicle leakage
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : The small protein α-synuclein is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. This protein is found in inclusion bodies, named lewy bodies inside neurons of people suffering from the disease. α-synuclein is very abundant in the human brain, and its normal function is still elusive and unclear.
