2. 1. New Electrochemical Tools to Study Exocytosis

   Author : Joakim Wigström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amperometry; QCM-D; micro electrode array; large dense core vesicles; chromaffin cells; PC-12 cells; microelectrode; exocytosis; electrochemical cytometry; electrochemical imaging; acetylcholine; endocytosis; nanoparticles; enzyme biosensor; microfabrication;

   Abstract : The work described in this thesis has the focus on the development of new analytical tools to study processes related to cellular secretion (exocytosis) in cell models. Four novel techniques were developed, allowing new ways to study processes related to exocytosis, and gain previously unattainable knowledge. READ MORE

4. 2. Adenosine A2A and ATP receptors in PC12 cells

   Author : Giulia Arslan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : PC12 cells; A2A receptors; ATP receptors; NGF; MAPK; Hypoxia; Cyclic AMP;

   Abstract : PC12 cells, originally isolated from a rat pheochromocytoma, are widely used to study receptor pharmacology and nerve cell differentiation. They are the neoplastic counterpart of adrenal chromaffin cells, but upon treatment with NGF they acquire a neuronal phenotype. READ MORE

5. 3. Cellular mechanisms of anaesthetic agents

   Author : Karin Björnström Karlsson; Bertil Fredholm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Anaesthesia is given to approximate 5% of the Swedish population annually, with the great advantage of painless surgery, but it also has side effects such as depression of blood pressure that might give a heart infarction. Exactly how anaesthetic agents cause anaesthesia is poorly known. READ MORE
