    Abstract : This thesis is a contribution to feminist laboratory studies and a critical engagement with the natural sciences, or more precisely research on the biochemical workings and deadly relations of Alzheimer’s disease emanating from a year of field work in a Drosophila fly lab. The natural sciences have been a point of fascination within the field of gender studies for decades. READ MORE

  4. 2. Small-Animal Imaging with Liquid-Metal-Jet X-Ray Sources

    Author : Daniel Larsson; Hans Hertz; Anna Burvall; David Paterson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray; x-ray imaging; small animal; phase contrast; tomography; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Small-animal x-ray imaging is an important tool for medical research. The penetration power of x-rays makes it possible to investigate the 3D structure of small animals and other thick biological samples by computed tomography (CT). READ MORE

  5. 3. Purification, characterization and immunological studies of rat urinary proteins causing allergy in humans

    Author : Cecilia Bayard; Gabriel Peltre; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergen; laboratory animal allergy; rat urinary protein; Rat n 1.02; a2u-globulin; purification; chemiluminescence; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Rats are among the most frequently used laboratory animals and allergy to them constitutes a common occupational problem. Approximately 20-30% of the persons engaged in work with laboratory animals acquire symptoms of allergy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multi-frequency SFDI : depth-resolved scattering models of wound healing

    Author : Luigi Belcastro; Rolf Saager; Hanna Jonasson; Lise Lyngsnes Randeberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SFDI; Light scattering; Wound healing;

    Abstract : With optical techniques, we refer to a group of methods that use of light to perform measurements on matter. Spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) is an optical technique that operates in the spatial frequency domain. READ MORE

  7. 5. Protein and mRNA Studies of Rat FA1/Pref-1/dlk

    Author : Gabriella Persdotter Hedlund; Jann Hau; Carina Carlsson; Torgny Stigbrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Laboratory animals; Preadipocyte factor 1; delta like protein; Fetal antigen 1; Goto-Kakizaki; Zucker; adipokines; adipose tissue; diabetes; obesity; Försöksdjursvetenskap;

    Abstract : The timing of cell differentiation is important for development and renewal of well functioning organs and tissues. One protein involved in this process is Preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref-1). Most likely, the role of this protein is to maintain cells in an undifferentiated state. READ MORE
