  2. 1. Micropatterning of hyaluronic acid hydrogels for in vitro models

    Author : Ana María Porras Hernández; Maria Tenje; Maria Antfolk; Jörg Kütter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Micropatterning; hyaluronic acid hydrogels; endothelial cells; alignment; cell chirality; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrosystemteknik; Engineering Science with specialization in Microsystems Technology;

    Abstract : The human body consist of a vast number of cells, and jointly, the cells, form tissues and organs. The cells interact and respond to their local microenvironment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Keeping up with retinal photoreceptors and horizontal cells : Labelling and mapping of cells in the normal and diseased embryonic chicken retina

    Author : Maria Blixt; Finn Hallböök; Maria Valeria Canto-Soler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chicken; electroporation; horizontal cells; photoreceptors; retina; piggyBac;

    Abstract : The childhood eye cancer retinoblastoma originates from the retina and its development is initiated while the foetus is in the uterus. Retinoblastoma has a reported incidence of 1 in 15-18 000 live births, and approximately 90% of all patients are diagnosed before the age of 5. READ MORE

  5. 3. Chemical micropatterning of hyaluronic acid hydrogels for brain endothelial in vitro cell studies

    Author : Ana Maria Porras Hernández; Maria Tenje; Martin Dufva; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Micropatterning; hydrogels; hyaluronic acid; brain endothelial cells; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot mikrosystemteknik; Engineering Science with specialization in Microsystems Technology;

    Abstract : The building blocks of human tissues are cells. The cells interact and respond to the characteristics of their local microenvironment. The cellular microenvironment is formed by three main components, the extracellular matrix, neighbouring cells and signalling molecules. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Nanoporous Inorganic Carbonates for Pharmaceutical and Environmental Applications

    Author : Maria Vall; Ocean Cheung; Maria Strømme; Jessica Rosenholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mesoporous magnesium carbonate; drug delivery; water purification; CO2 capture; catalysis; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

    Abstract : Mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) is a highly porous, anhydrous material which can be synthesized without the use of templates. This thesis shows how post- and in synthesis modification of MMC can create porous inorganic carbonates suitable for different pharmaceutical and environmental applications. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulation of Vitamin D 25-hydroxylases : Effects of Vitamin D Metabolites and Pharmaceutical Compounds on the Bioactivation of Vitamin D

    Author : Maria Ellfolk; Kjell Wikvall; Maria Norlin; Olavi Pelkonen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CYP2D25; vitamin D 25-hydroxylase; transcriptional regulation; vitamin D; CYP2R1; CYP2J2; CYP27A1; phenobarbital; efavirenz; fibroblast; LNCaP; Pharmaceutical biochemistry; Farmaceutisk biokemi;

    Abstract : A 700bp portion of the promoter of CYP2D25, the porcine microsomal vitamin D 25-hydroxylase was isolated and sequenced. The computer analysis of the sequence revealed the existence of a putative VDRE at 220 bp upstream of the transcription start site. READ MORE
