1. 1. From single-molecule sensing to extracellular vesicles in glioma cells under stress

   Författare :Virginia Claudio; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; proteome; single molecule sensing; nanoplasmonics; surface plasmon resonance; exosomes; glioblastoma; extracellular vesicles; cellular stress; lipid composition;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the work I conducted in two different areas, namely biomolecular sensing and quantitative cell biology. The work in the former area was focused on the optimization of plasmonic metamaterials for sensing applications, and in the latter on the characterization of extracellular vesicles released by glioblastoma cells under stress conditions.

3. 2. Numerical Approximation of Reaction and Diffusion Systems in Complex Cell Geometry

   Författare :Qasim Ali Chaudhry; Michael Hanke; Maya Gueorguieva Neytcheva; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex Cell Geometry; Reaction and Diffusion System; Metabolism in Biological Cells; Homogenization; Compartment Modelling; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

   Sammanfattning : The mathematical modelling of the reaction and diffusion mechanism of lipophilic toxic compounds in the mammalian cell is a challenging task because of its considerable complexity and variation in the architecture of the cell. The heterogeneity of the cell regarding the enzyme distribution participating in the bio-transformation, makes the modelling even more difficult. LÄS MER

4. 3. Electrostatic Interactions in Complex Liquids : A Thermodynamic Analysis Based on the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation and the Flexible Surface Model

   Författare :Ingemar Carlsson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AOT; AerosolOT; ionic surfactant; spontaneous curvature; bending modulus; bending energy; Helfrich curvature energy; fluid membrane; complex liquid; flexible surface model; micelle; counterion; Poisson-Boltzmann equation; cell model; L3 phase; sponge phas; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this study was to analyse physico-chemical properties of some complex liquids using the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) cell model; to extend the theory to cover bilayer systems with complex global geometry; finally to apply this new extended model to such bilayer systems. The PB cell model provides a practical tool to examine counterion association and phase behaviour for structures of simple geometries; cylindrical and spherical. LÄS MER

5. 4. Simulation of individual cells in flow

   Författare :Lailai Zhu; Luca Brandt; Michael Graham; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrodynamic interaction; swimming microorganisms; capsule; Stokes flow; finite element method; boundary integral method; general geometry Ewald method; spectral element method; viscoelastic fluid; cellular deformation; flow cytometry; cell sorting; microrheology; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, simulations are performed to study the motion ofindividual cells in flow, focusing on the hydrodynamics of actively swimming cells likethe self-propelling microorganisms, and of passively advected objects like the red bloodcells. In particular, we develop numerical tools to address the locomotion ofmicroswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries, as well as the motion ofdeformable capsules in micro-fluidic flows.

7. 5. Growth of Semiconductor Nanowires for Solar Cell Applications

   Författare :Magnus Heurlin; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MOVPE; Aerotaxy; III-V semiconductor materials; nanowire; solar cells; photovoltaics; Fysicumarkivet A:2015:Heurlin;

   Sammanfattning : Nanowires have the ability to absorb light much more efficient than conventional thin film layers. This makes them candidates for the development of new types of solar cells that have higher efficiency and lower material usage than current technologies. LÄS MER
