  2. 1. Biosensors and Automation for Bioprocess Monitoring and Control

    Author : M A Kumar; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : online monitoring; ELISA; immunosensor; flow injection; Biosensor; bioprocess; control; environmental;

    Abstract : Bioprocess monitoring and control is a complex task that needs rapid and reliable methods which are adaptable to continuous analysis. Process monitoring during fermentation is widely applicable in the field of pharmaceutical, food and beverages and wastewater treatment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pharmacometric evaluation and improvement of models and study designs - applied in diabetes

    Author : Moustafa M. A. Ibrahim; Mats O. Karlsson; Maria C. Kjellsson; Paolo Magni; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Pharmacometric models are increasingly used to improve the efficiency of the drug development process and increase our understanding of the studied underlying pathophysiological system. These models require assumptions for handling different types of data and the different model components, and the appropriateness of such assumptions must be carefully inspected for unbiased conclusions.

  5. 3. Defense-peptides against mycobacteria

    Author : Charlotte M A Linde; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Antimicrobial peptides; NK-lysin; granulysin; PR-39; Mycobacterium;

    Abstract : Several members of the genus Mycobacterium can cause serious infections in both man and animal. One of the world's most serious infectious diseases, tuberculosis, is caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Specific defense to tuberculosis/mycobacteriosis is dependent on the individual's ability to mount a proficient immune response. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular factors influencing epithelial-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer

    Author : Gisela M A Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breast cancer; epithelial-mesenchymal transition; c-erbB2; E-cadherin; NFI-C2; FoxF1; LOX;

    Abstract : Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental process defined by loss of epithelial characteristics and acquisition of mesenchymal phenotype. EMT or similar processes are also implicated in carcinoma cell invasion and the progression of breast carcinoma to metastasis. READ MORE

    Abstract : There is sex-bias in morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases. Infections kill more men than women and several studies have pointed out differences in the immune system as a reason. The sex hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all shape the effect of the immune response on multiple levels. READ MORE
