1. Physical characterization of exosomes and other extracellular vesicles using surface-based sensing
Sammanfattning : Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are hundred of nanometer sized particles secreted by almost all cell types. Exosomes are one type of EVs today intensively investigated due to the increased evidence suggesting that they play important roles as communicating vehicles in a broad range of physiological processes, pathological conditions and disease diagnostics.

2. Tethered Lipid Vesicles as Nanoscale Sensor Elements
Sammanfattning : The primary aim of this thesis work has been to explore and advance the potential of surface tethered lipid vesicles as a platform for studying in particular the following three biomembrane-related processes: trans-membrane transport, membrane-peptide interactions and the activity of membrane active enzymes. First, a method based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy was developed for studying passive diffusion processes as well as the membrane-protein mediated transport of small non electrolyte molecules across lipid bilayers.

3. Nanoplasmonic Biosensing - Exploring Unique Possibilities
Sammanfattning : Bioanalytical sensors are indispensible tools in medical diagnostics and drug discovery as well as for life science research, environmental monitoring and food safety. In essence, they are used to detect and determine the concentrations of specific biomolecules in complex mixtures. LÄS MER
4. Studies of Glycosaminoglycan Interactions - Surface Immobilization Strategies and Biosensing Applications
Sammanfattning : Many important biological functions of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been highlighted in research literature during recent years. GAGs often serve as function-bearing structural elements in the extracellular matrix (ECM), but are also constituents of the cell membrane. GAGs take part in various biological mechanisms, e.g. LÄS MER
5. Concatemerization of Synthetic Oligonucleotides
Sammanfattning : DNA nanotechnology has become an important research field because of its advantages in high predictability and accuracy of base-paring recognition. For example, the DNA concatemer, one of the simplest DNA constructs in shape, has been used to enhance signals in biosensing. LÄS MER
