    Sammanfattning : The organisation of fluids in small compartments is ubiquitous in nature, such as in the cellular composition of all life. This work explores several engineering avenues where microscale fluid compartmentalization can bring novel material properties or novel functionality in life sciences or medicine. LÄS MER

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. 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

  5. 14. 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

  7. 15. 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
