2. 1. Interaction Between Microgels and Oppositely Charged Proteins

   Author : Christian Johansson; Per Hansson; Brian Saunders; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microgel; protein; uptake; distribution; core-shell; colloidal stability; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis reports on interactions between microgels and oppositely charged proteins. Two types of negatively charged microgels are investigated: poly(acrylic acid) microgels of 60-80 µm in diameter, and colloidal poly(NIPAM-co-acrylic acid) microgels of around 1 µm in diameter.

4. 2. Eosinophil Cationic Protein : Expression Levels and Polymorphisms

   Author : Jonas Byström; Helene Rosenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Eosinophils; Neutrophils; Monocytes; Macrophages; mRNA; eosinophil cationic protein; DNA; polymorphism; Hodgkin Lymphoma; asthma; allergy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

   Abstract : The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is usually associated with the eosinophil granulocyte. In this thesis the presence and production of this protein has been studied in two other cells. The circulating monocyte was found to contain ECP mRNA and small amounts of ECP, one thousand times less than that found in the eosinophil. READ MORE

5. 3. Tailoring of Biomaterials using Ionic Interactions : Synthesis, Characterization and Application

   Author : Björn Atthoff; Jöns Hilborn; Tim Bowden; Mats Andersson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Chemistry; biodegradable polymers; ionomer; water uptake; protein delivery; protein adsorption; protein membrane; cell seeding efficiency; amphiphillic; inner structure; polarized membrane; Kemi;

   Abstract : The interactions between polymers and components of biological systems are an important area of interest within the fields of tissue engineering, polymer chemistry, medicine and biomaterials. In order to create such a biomimetic material, it must show the inherent ability to reproduce or elicit a biological function. READ MORE

6. 4. Enhancing membrane and secretory protein production yields in Escherichia coli

   Author : Zhe Zhang; Jan-Willem de Gier; Claes von Wachenfeldt; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; recombinant protein production; Escherichia coli; membrane protein; secretory protein; strain engineering; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Proteins fulfill essential functions in living cells. To produce sufficient amounts of a protein is essential to study the structure and function of a protein, or to use it for medical purposes. Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacterium that is widely used for recombinant protein production. READ MORE

7. 5. Myosin 1c taking adrenergic metabolism for a spin : More than a motor protein

   Author : Alice Åslund; Tore Bengtsson; Michael Czech; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glucose uptake; Glucose transporter; Brown adipose tissue; White adipose tissue; Skeletal muscle; Myosin1c; Nuclear myosin I; Physiology; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : Metabolic diseases like type II diabetes (T2D) and obesity largely stems from an unbalanced energy homeostasis with the fails of the insulin pathway to the point in which the glucose homeostasis is severely disturbed leading to hyperglycemia. We have investigated if the β-adrenergic signaling pathways, in both brown adipose tissue (BAT) and skeletal muscle, could be used as a strategy to alleviate metabolic disease. READ MORE
