  2. 1. Characterization of artificial and biological lipid vesicles using TIRF and SPR

    Author : Thomas Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; membrane permeability; chromaffin vesicle; fluorescence; total internal reflection TIRF microscopy; surface plasmon resonance SPR ; vesicle; osmotic shock; cell membrane; liposome; nanoparticle tracking analysis NTA ; large dense core vesicles LDCVs ;

    Abstract : Synthetic lipid vesicles serve as important mimics of cells and the natural membranes that they are enclosed by. As such they are frequently used as simplified models of the highly complex cell membrane to aid in-depth physicochemical and biological characterization of this essential biological structure.

  4. 2. Quantitative chemical imaging to study content release from single nanovesicles

    Author : Tho D. K. Nguyen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Exocytosis; Vesicle; Mass spectrometry imaging; Electron microscopy; Fluorescence microscopy; Electrochemical analysis; NanoSIMS;

    Abstract : Cellular communication is vital for the survival of multicellular organisms. This process often relies on a highly regulated mechanism called exocytosis, which involves the release of chemical signals. During exocytosis, vesicles can fully or partially release their contents.

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Electrochemical and microscopic analysis of chemical signalling in biological systems

    Author : Anna Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Cellular communication is a prerequisite in multicellular organisms in order to survive. Many times, this communication occurs through the highly controlled and regulated release of chemical signals through a process known as exocytosis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analytical Approaches to Study Vesicular and Exosomal Release

    Author : Kim Long Le Vo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Vesicles, as a special type of entity nanometers in size, are crucial for survival of multicellular organisms. Intracellular vesicles mainly contain specific signaling molecules, transmitters, and modulators whereas extracellular vesicles (EVs) are bioactive organelles carrying a wide range of proteins, genetic materials, and other molecules.
