  2. 1. Aiway Mucins: experimental models for studies of secretions

    Author : Naila Svitacheva; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; bovine trachea; radiolabelling; cell line; primary cell culture; organ culture; mucus; mucin; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Abstract : Mucins are essential components of the mucosal barrier. The complexity of the airway mucosal barrier is reflected in the lack of specific treatments to block mucin hypersecretion associated with several respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis.

  4. 2. Cell-based models for studying paediatric high-grade gliomas

    Author : Susanna Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; paediatric brain tumour; glioblastoma; glioma stem cell; primary culture; xenograft tumour; zebrafish;

    Abstract : Brain tumours are the largest group of solid tumours in children and accounts for most cancer-related deaths. Astrocytoma is the largest group, representing almost half of the brain tumours, where high-grade glioma is one of the most devastating forms with very poor prognosis due to lack of efficient treatments.

  5. 3. The diverse functions of the ADAR enzymes : Editing and editing-independent effects on gene expression

    Author : Victor Karlström; Neus Visa; Ayelet Lamm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA editing; ADAR; Alternative splicing; miRNA processing; neuronal differentiaton; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : The adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) family of enzymes consists of three members (ADAR1-3). These enzymes are responsible for the deamination of adenosine into inosine in double-stranded RNA, one of the most common RNA modifications in mammals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Label-free processing of stem cell preparations by acoustophoresis

    Author : Franziska Olm; Avdelningen för molekylär hematologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acoustophoresis; label-free cell separation; ultrasound; microfluidics; stem cell processing; CTC separation;

    Abstract : The first bone marrow transplant in a human was performed in 1959, providing evidence that cells can be used for transplantation and treatment, revealing that healing capacities lie within the human body that ought to be understood. Since then hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has developed as a standard treatment for many cancers besides other malignancies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Understanding and manipulating primary cell walls in plant cell suspension cultures

    Author : Felicia Leijon; Vincent Bulone; Katja Salomon Johansen; KTH; []
    Keywords : Callose synthase; carbohydrate-binding module; cell wall engineering; cellulose microfibril; cellulose nanocrystal; glycosyltransferase; mass spectrometry; plasmodesmata; Populus; primary cell wall; radiometric assay; spectrophotometric assay; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : The cell wall is required for many aspects of plant function and development. It is also an accessible and renewable resource utilized both in unrefined forms and as raw material for further development. Increased knowledge regarding cell wall structure and components will contribute to better utilization of plants and the resources they provide. READ MORE
