  2. 6. Conifer embryology : a study of polar auxin transport and WOX transcription factors

    Author : Joakim Palovaara; Inger Hakman; Wolfgang Werr; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Cell and Organism Biology; Cell- och organismbiologi;

    Abstract : Plants, like animals, use endogenous signaling molecules to coordinate their own physiology and development. One such molecule in plants is the hormone auxin and recent research has implicated auxin and its polar transport, together with the WOX transcription factors, in regulating embryo patterning and development in angiosperms (flowering plants), the most diverse group of land plants.

  4. 7. Investigation of Hox gene expression and Wnt-signalling in basally branching ecdysozoans

    Author : Mattias Hogvall; Ralf Janssen; Graham Budd; Andreas Hejnol; Andrew Peel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wnt signalling pathway; Hox genes; Fz receptors; Onychophora; Priapulida; Ecdysozoa; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Organismal Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär organismbiologi;

    Abstract : One of the most important processes in the development of an animal is the determination and patterning of the primary body axis, the anterior-posterior (AP) axis. After the AP axis has been established the embryo grows and elongates through posterior elongation. READ MORE

  5. 8. Materials and Devices for Stretchable Electronic Nerve Interfaces

    Author : Samuel Lukas Lienemann; Klas Tybrandt; Magnus Berggren; Diego Ghezzi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stretchable electronics; Nanowires; Peripheral nerve interfaces; Cuff electrodes;

    Abstract : Within our body, there is a large network of nerves that facilitates communication between the brain and the body’s organs. This network is called our peripheral nervous system, consisting of soft and stretchable nerve bundles that gradually increase in their functional specificity as they split and branch out the closer they get to their target organ.

  6. 9. Organic Electronics and Microphysiological Systems to Interface, Monitor, and Model Biology

    Author : Sebastian Buchmann; Anna Herland; Erica Zeglio; Agneta Richter-Dahlfors; Maria Asplund; KTH; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; organic bioelectronics; organic electrochemical transistors; conjugated polymers; microphysiological systems; in vitro cell models; Organisk bioelektronik; organiska elektrokemiska transistorer; Konjugerade polymerer; Mikrofysiologiska system; in vitro-modeller; Medicinsk teknologi; Medical Technology;

    Abstract : Biological processes in the human body are regulated through complex and precise arrangements of cell structures and their interactions. In vivo models serve as the most accurate choice for biological studies to understand these processes. However, they are costly, time-consuming, and raise ethical issues. READ MORE

  7. 10. Conducting Foams and Fibres for Bulk Plastic Thermoelectrics

    Author : Jason Ryan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanocomposites.; e-textiles; renewable energy; conducting yarn; thermoelectrics; conjugated polymers; organic thermoelectrics; electronic textiles; polymer foams; conducting fibres;

    Abstract : The use of small portable electronics in society is constantly increasing, thus the demand for portable power sources also rises in turn. Portable electronic devices rely upon energy stored in batteries to power them, which in turn require regular access to power outlets to be recharged. READ MORE
