  2. 1. Advanced polymeric scaffolds for functional materials in biomedical applications

    Author : Kim Öberg Hed; Michael Malkoch; Eric Drockenmuller; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dendrimer; hydrogel; PEG; dendritic monolayers; thiol-ene networks; off-stochiometric;

    Abstract : Advancements in the biomedical field are driven by the design of novel materials with controlled physical and bio-interactive properties. To develop such materials, researchers rely on the use of highly efficient reactions for the assembly of advanced polymeric scaffolds that meet the demands of a functional biomaterial. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modulation of mononuclear phagocyte function in the dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii

    Author : Arne L. ten Hoeve; Antonio Barragan; Nicolas Blanchard; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular Apicomplexan parasite that could possibly infect all warm-blooded animals. Acute infections with T. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transmigration of Toxoplasma gondii across biological barriers

    Author : Emily C. Ross; Antonio Barragan; Ildiko Rita Dunay; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Apicomplexa; blood-brain barrier; leukocyte; immune cell; transendothelial migration; cell adhesion molecule; host-pathogen; FAK; integrin; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can likely infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, with estimates of up to 30% of the global human population being infected. Although infection with T. gondii is usually asymptomatic or mild, in immunocompromised individuals infection can lead to lethal toxoplasmic encephalitis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Nanometer Scale Protein Templates for Bionanotechnology Applications

    Author : Jonas Rundqvist; David B. Haviland; Michael Grunze; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanotechnology; bionanotechnology; nanobiotechnology; electron beam lithography; EBL; poly ethylene glycol ; PEG; self-assembled monolayer; SAM; self-immobilization; protein pattern; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Nanofabrication techniques were used to manufacture nanometer scale protein templates. The fabrication approach employs electron beam lithography (EBL) patterning on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) thiol (CH3O(CH2CH2O)17NHCO(CH2)2SH) self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on Au. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immune evasion and dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii

    Author : Henrik Lambert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite which propagates in a complex life cycle where infection of Felidae family-members (Cats) results in sexual recombination whereas all other warm-blooded animals are intermediate hosts. Approximately one third of the human population is estimated to be chronically infected by this parasite. READ MORE
