  2. 1. Cellular Dyes and Bioactive Peptides - Cell Membrane Interactions and Cellular Uptake

    Author : Maria Matson Dzebo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membrane Interactions; Spectroscopy; Cell-Penetrating Peptides; Bioactive Peptides; Cell Membrane; Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy; Cellular Uptake; AF-16; Voltage-Sensitive Dyes; Cell Dyes; Antisecretory Factor; Ruthenium Complexes; Isothermal Titration Calorimetry; Flow-Cytometry;

    Abstract : Knowledge about mechanisms behind interactions of molecules with biomembranes and cellular uptake is very important for understanding biological processes and for drug design. The work described in this thesis has focused on interactions of cellular dyes and bioactive peptides with cells and the cell membrane. READ MORE

  4. 2. Exploring Cellular Dynamics : From Vesicle Tethering to Cell Migration

    Author : Parham Ashrafzadeh; Johan Kreuger; Jonas Fuxe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; cancer; cell migration; exocyst complex; exocytosis; FGD5; lipid rafts; plasma membrane; receptor trafficking; VEGFR2;

    Abstract : Cells in the body communicate with each other in order to cooperate efficiently. This communication is in part achieved by regulated secretion of signaling molecules, which when released from a cell may activate receptors present at the plasma membrane of an adjacent cell. Such signals affect both cell fate and behavior. READ MORE

  5. 3. Plasma membrane order; the role of cholesterol and links to actin filaments

    Author : Jelena Dinic; Ingela Parmryd; Gerrit van Meer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membrane Organization; Lipid rafts; Actin; Laurdan; di-4-ANEPPDHQ; Cholesterol; T cell signaling; Colocalization; Generalized Polarization; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The connection between T cell activation, plasma membrane order and actin filament dynamics was the main focus of this study. Laurdan and di-4-ANEPPDHQ, membrane order sensing probes, were shown to report only on lipid packing rather than being influenced by the presence of membrane-inserted peptides justifying their use in membrane order studies.

  6. 4. Pitfalls in β-cell ion imaging with fluorescent indicators and their use for real-time detection of somatostatin secretion

    Author : Mingyu Yang; Anders Tengholm; Enming Zhang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; β-cells; cytoplasmic Ca²⁺; cytoplasmic pH; fluorescent indicators; pancreatic islets; R-GECO1; somatostatin; type 2 diabetes; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Fluorescent ion indicators have become indispensable tools in cell physiology. Dye indicators can easily be loaded into most types of cells, while genetically encoded indicators are advantageous in allowing specific cellular or subcellular targeting. READ MORE

  7. 5. Photoelectrochemical studies of dye-sensitized solar cells using organic dyes

    Author : Tannia Marinado; Anders Hagfeldt; Katoh Ryuzi; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; additive; charge recombination; coadsorbent; conduction band shift; dye-sensitized; electron lifetime; electron-transfer; organic dye; photoelectrochemical; photovoltaic; sensitizer; semiconductor; solar cell; solar cell efficiency; titanium dioxide; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) is a promising efficient low-cost molecular photovoltaic device. One of the key components in DSCs is the dye, as it is responsible for the capture of sunlight. State-of-the-art DSC devices, based on ruthenium dyes, show record efficiencies of 10-12 %. READ MORE
