  1. 21. Making neurons from stem cells : molecular mechanisms and spider silk substrates

    Författare :Michalina Lewicka; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The understanding of the function of the nervous system and the brain is one of the major intellectual challenges in life sciences. Neurological and psychiatric disorders are in addition major issues for the society, and new approaches are needed to learn more about the brain and to develop new treatments. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Functionalization of partial spider silk with affinity domains and its use for diverse applications

    Författare :Naresh Thatikonda; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Over the past years, spider silk has drawn considerable attention from researchers because of its renowned mechanical strength (force needed to break), elasticity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. The advancements in genetic engineering have led to the production of artificial mimics of spider silk proteins. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Development of new affinity proteins for neurodegenerative disorders

    Författare :Linnea C. Hjelm; John Löfblom; Stefan Ståhl; Hanna Lindberg; Ylva Ivarsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein engineering; sequestrins; amyloid beta; alpha-synuclein; phage display; affibodies; blood–brain barrier; Transferrin receptor; receptor-mediated transcytosis; recombinant spider silk; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : Neurodegenerative disorders include a full spectrum of diagnoses, including dementias and other neuronal diseases, characterised by degradation of neurons in the brain occurring along with disease progression. Amongst the dementias, the most prevalent are Alzheimer’s (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) that affect millions of people worldwide. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Insect immunity : fractionation and characterization of some immune proteins induced by primary infections of giant silk moth pupae

    Författare :Torgny Rasmuson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : A potent antibacterial activity in hemolymph of giant silk moth pupae is demonstrated. The system is inducible and RNA and protein synthesis are needed for the expression of the activity. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were found to be susceptible. The activities could be selectively inhibited, indicating a multicomponent system. LÄS MER

  7. 25. 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
