  1. 1. Investigating mucin interactions with diverse surfaces for biomedical applications

    Författare :Georgia Petrou; Thomas Crouzier; Anette Larsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucus; mucin; protein adsorption; biomaterials; lubrication; mucoadhesion; 4RepCT; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Mucous membranes are covered with mucus, a viscoelastic hydrogel that plays an essential role in their protection from shear and pathogens. The viscoelasticity of mucus is owing to mucins, a group of densely glycosylated proteins. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Expanded knowledge on silk assembly for development of bioactive silk coatings

    Författare :Linnea Nilebäck; My Hedhammar; Renko de Vries; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Recombinant spider silk; Self-assembly; Biomaterial; Implant coating; Functionalization; Multi-functional; Bioactive; Cell culture scaffold; Antibacterial; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : Silk is a fascinating natural material made from proteins that self-assemble through structural rearrangements into one of the toughest materials known. As silk is protein-based, durable and elastic, it has many features that makes it suitable as a scaffold material for tissue engineering. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Functionalization of spider silk with affinity and bioactive domains via genetic engineering for in vitro disease diagnosis and tissue engineering

    Sammanfattning : Spider silk is a natural protein-based material known for its medicinal use and remarkable mechanical properties. Structures made thereof are both strong and elastic and have been shown to be favorable matrices for tissue engineering. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Engineering of Antibacterial Phage-Derived Proteins

    Författare :Fredrik Seijsing; Anders Nilsson; Yves Briers; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein engineering; endolysin; IgG; linker protein; chimeric protein; artificial opsonin; spider silk; antibacterial surface; bacteriophage; structure prediction; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing threat of antibiotic resistance calls for the development of new treatment methods. Bacteriophages are interesting candidates since they can lyse bacteria with great efficiency. Bacteriophages produce enzymes called endolysins which break down the peptidoglycan in the cell wall at the end of the infection cycle. LÄS MER
