  2. 1. In vitro cellular models for neurotoxicity studies : neurons derived from P19 cells

    Author : Dina Popova; Jacobsson Stig O.P.; Anna Forsby; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurotoxicity; Neuronal cell culture; P19 cells; SH-SY5Y cells; βIII-tubulin; Methylmercury; Okadaic acid; Acrylamide; MDMA; Piperazine-derived designer drugs.;

    Abstract : Humans are exposed to a variety of chemicals including environmental pollutants, cosmetics, food preservatives and drugs. Some of these substances might be harmful to the human body. READ MORE

  4. 2. The aquatic ecotoxicity of manufactured silica nanomaterials and their interactions with organic pollutants

    Author : Frida Book; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Manufactured silica nanomaterials are one of the nanomaterials consumed in the highest volumes (more than 4 000 000 tons/year/globally) and are used in a wide range of products and industries such as food, cosmetics, coatings, paints, textiles, concrete and the paper and pulp industry. They also provide promising properties that help solving societal challenges, such as water remediation, by binding contaminants. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and neural progenitor C17.2 cell lines as models for neurotoxicological studies​

    Author : Jessica Lundqvist; Anna Forsby; Åsa Fex Svenningsen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SH-SY5Y; C17.2; in vitro neurotoxicity; cell culture conditions; biomarkers; in vitro developmental neurotoxicity; whole genome microarray; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : We are surrounded by chemicals, thus understanding how exposure to these chemicals affect us during our life is of great social importance. In order to predict human acute toxicity of chemicals, cosmetics or drugs, development of novel in vitro test strategies is required. READ MORE

  6. 4. Botulinum neurotoxins

    Author : Sara Persson Košenina; Pål Stenmark; Rongsheng Jin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; botulinum neurotoxins; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most potent toxins known to man, with less than 1 μg of pure toxin being enough to kill an adult man. Despite the high toxicity, BoNTs are widely used in cosmetics and in medicine for the treatment of an increasing number of medical conditions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Microbial Production of Bio-Based Chemicals: A Biorefinery Perspective

    Author : Tarek Dishisha; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biorefinery; platform chemical; organic acid; propionic acid; 3-hydroxypropionic acid; 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde; methacrylic acid; 1; 3-propanediol; Propionibacterium acidipropionici; Lactobacillus reuteri; Gluconobacter oxydans; high cell density fermentation; biotransformation; product inhibition; cell recycle; immobilized cells; chemical catalysis; pdu operon;

    Abstract : A shift from fossil- to renewable biomass feedstock for the emerging bio-based economy requires the development and adoption of new sustainable technologies that are more suited for transformation of biomass components to chemicals, materials and energy. This thesis presents investigations on the development of processes based on industrial biotechnology as a key element for the production of chemicals from agro-/industrial by-products. READ MORE
