  1. 6. GIANT UNILAMELLAR VESICLES FOR PEPTIDE-MEMBRANE INTERACTION STUDIES USING FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biofysik och bioteknik

    Author : Martin Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Giant unilamellar vesicles; Lipid rafts; Fluorescence microscopy; Drug delivery;

    Abstract : Vesicles are a type of biological or biomimetic particle consisting of one or more often spherical bilayers made up of amphipathic molecules, creating a closed system. They can function as an encapsulating device, holding hydrophilic molecules on the inside of the bilayer membrane(s) or hydrophobic molecules in the non-polar interstitial space in the middle of the bilayers.

  3. 7. PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BOVINE MEAT AND MILK FACTOR VESICLES/PARTICLES & IDENTIFICATION OF MSBI1 REP INTERACTING PROTEINS

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

    Author : Farhana Manzoor; [2020]
    Keywords : Bovine meat and milk factors; multiple sclerosis; immunoprecipitation co-immunoprecipitation; protein dimers; mass spectrometry; immunodetection; cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation; sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; vesicle; particle; interaction partner; pull-down assay.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Bovine meat and milk factors (BMMF) frequently isolated from bovine meat and milk, are discussed as putative causative agents for breast, colon and possibly other cancers. The hypothesis was formulated based on earlier correlative studies indicating that BMMFs could indirectly trigger inflammation, accumulate mutational events via reactive oxygen and nitrogen species production which eventually provokes tumor formation.

  4. 8. Exosomes and lipid nanoparticles - the future of targeted drug delivery

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sara Lundberg; Emelia Karlsson; Hugo Dahlberg; Mathilda Glansk; Sara Larsson; Sofia Larsson; Karl Carlsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Exosomes; lipid nanoparticles; drug delivery;

    Abstract : In this project an overview of how synthetic lipid nanoparticles and exosomes can be used for targeted drug delivery is compiled. The goal is to identify aspects that can be in favor for targeted drug delivery and the development of products at Cytiva. READ MORE

  5. 9. Patterning of the neural tube: A 3D computational modelling approach

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

    Author : Ariane Ernst; [2019]
    Keywords : gene regulatory networks; neural tube patterning; patterning of the neural tube; dopaminergic neurons; parkinson s disease; computational modelling; stem cell; GRN; Biology and Life Sciences; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s can be treated with stem-cell derived specialized neurons. In order to achieve precise directed neural differentiation in vitro we need to understand the gene regulatory mechanisms behind in vivo neural tube patterning. READ MORE

  6. 10. Affinity of Alpha-Synuclein and Lipid Vesicle Interaction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Ahmed Masaada; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Alpha-synuclein is a protein involved in several neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s, where it has been observed to form amyloid fibrils or Lewy bodies. However, how or to what extent alpha-synuclein is involved is not known. READ MORE
