2. 1. Upgrading Cellulose Networks: Conquering Limitations in Fiber Foams

   Author : Eliott Jean Quentin Orzan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cross-linking; pore structure; cellular solid; lightweight; porous network; cellulose; flame-retardancy; fibers;

   Abstract : The battle to create structural materials with low environmental impact demands the investiture of two champions: porous structures and cellulose substrates. The dominant solutions when constructing strong lightweight materials are plastic and metallic foams, while currently, cellulose fiber foams suffer from challenges which hamper their development.

4. 2. Ion Transport in Cross-linked Nanocellulose Membranes

   Author : Hongli Yang; Isak Engquist; Magnus Berggren; Klaus-Dieter Kreuer; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membranes; Nanocellulose; Cross-linking; Ion transport; Energy harvesting and storage devices;

   Abstract : Ion-selective membranes, which allow ions with a certain charge and/or size to pass through while blocking other ions, have attracted much attention due to their diverse applications and outstanding roles in overcoming problems related to energy. In addition to the performance, the financial cost and renewability of materials are equally significant in the development of these membranes. READ MORE

5. 3. Oligomerization of human and bacterial frataxin : Structural and functional studies

   Author : Mostafa Abdalkhalik; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : Frataxin; Friedreich’s ataxia; iron; reactive oxiden species; protein oligomerization; SAXS; EM; cross-linking; XAFS; nano- DSF;

   Abstract : Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease caused by defeciency in frataxin, a highly conserved protein central to iron homeostasis in mirochondria. The function of frataxin is related to its capability to bind, store and deliver iron to different biochemical process such as iron-sulfur cluster assembly and heme biosynthesis. READ MORE

6. 4. Exploring small heat shock protein chaperones by crosslinking mass spectrometry

   Author : Wietske Lambert; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cross-linking; mass spectrometry; protein-protein interactions; Hsp21; BS3; DTSSP; MALDI-TOF TOF; client protein; substrate; aggregation; unfolded protein; chaperone; Small heat shock protein; crosslinking;

   Abstract : Together with other molecular chaperones, small heat shock proteins are key components of the protein quality control system, which is comprised of several hundred proteins and acts to maintain proteome homeostasis in the cell. Small heat shock proteins bind unfolding proteins at an early stage, to prevent these from further unfolding and aggregating. READ MORE

7. 5. New insights into principles of scaffolds design for bone application

   Author : Hongji Yan; Tim Bowden; Hong Qian; Martijn van Griensven; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chondroitin sulfate; hyaluronic acid; pH; cross-linking chemistry; bone morphogenetic protein; lithium; mesenchymal stem cell; in vivo.; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

   Abstract : This thesis presents deeper insights into bone applicable biomaterials’ design. Poor affinity of BMP-2 towards scaffolds required supra-physiological dose administration. Though molecules containing sulfate could sustain BMP-2 release, side effects occurred due to BMP-2 supra-dose, or these sulfate-containing biomolecules. READ MORE
