  2. 21. Shells and filament in flows

    Author : Vipin Agrawal; Dhrubaditya Mitra; Supriya Krishnamurthy; Gerhard Gompper; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chaos; Elastic filaments; Shells; Exosomes; Stokes flow; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : The motivation to study elastic structures such as filaments and shells stemmed from its application in the construction of tall buildings, bridges etc. Interest in this field has rekindled in the past decades due to growing interest in understanding biological materials and because of possible applications in nanoscience and medicine.

  4. 22. From single-molecule sensing to extracellular vesicles in glioma cells under stress

    Author : Virginia Claudio; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; proteome; single molecule sensing; nanoplasmonics; surface plasmon resonance; exosomes; glioblastoma; extracellular vesicles; cellular stress; lipid composition;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the work I conducted in two different areas, namely biomolecular sensing and quantitative cell biology. The work in the former area was focused on the optimization of plasmonic metamaterials for sensing applications, and in the latter on the characterization of extracellular vesicles released by glioblastoma cells under stress conditions.

  5. 23. Isolation Strategies and Proteomic Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles

    Author : Aleksander Cvjetkovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular vesicles; Exosomes; Colorectal cancer; Proteomics;

    Abstract : “Extracellular vesicles” is the collective term used to describe vesicular entities that are released from cells into the extracellular environment. These vesicles are composed of a delineating lipid membrane and its cargo which can comprise of bioactive molecules such as lipids, RNA, DNA and proteins which can be shuttled between cells and thus function as a means of cell-to-cell communication.

  6. 24. About hyaluronan in the hypertrophic heart : studies on coordinated regulation of extracellular matrix signalling

    Author : Urban Hellman; Anders Waldenström; Stellan Mörner; Anna Engström-Laurent; Lena Jonasson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : hyaluronan; hyaluronan synthases; gene expression; extracellular matrix; cardiac hypertrophy; rat wistar; male ; cardiomyocytes; growth factors; fibroblasts; microvesicles; exosomes; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Background. Myocardial hypertrophy is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Independent of underlying disease, the cardiac muscle strives in different ways to compensate for an increased workload. This remodelling of the heart includes changes in the extracellular matrix which will affect systolic and diastolic cardiac function. READ MORE

  7. 25. Immunological tolerance to antigens in the intestine

    Author : Malin Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rat; oral tolerance; serum factor; normal gut flora; exosomes;

    Abstract : The major part of the immune system is found in the epithelium and lamina propria of the gut. The distribution of the leukocytes is structured probably because the immune system has to distinguish between harmful microorganisms, food antigens and the normal gut flora. READ MORE
