11. On the physico-chemical properties of softwood hemicellulose and compounds derived from it
Sammanfattning : Hemicellulose is the second largest polysaccharide group available in nature after cellulose. Hemicellulose is present in plant cell walls along with cellulose and lignin. It is an abundant and biodegradable material that could potentially replace fossil-based products. LÄS MER
12. Membrane-Polymer Interactions in Lipid Vesicles
Sammanfattning : Membrane related biological processes are commonly investigated in artificial biomimetic experimental systems. One of the most versatile models is based upon giant unilamellar phospholipid vesicles (liposomes), which are artificially generated spherical lipid structures in an aqueous environment. LÄS MER
13. Microfluidic Cell and Particle Sorting using Deterministic Lateral Displacement
Sammanfattning : Microfluidics is a field which has the potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics. The ability to sort and analyse cells by the use of portable handheld devices has the potential to enable sensitive devices for point-of-care diagnostics. LÄS MER
14. Enzymatic conversion of β-mannans through transglycosylation and hydrolysis : Synthesis of building blocks for novel biomaterials from renewables
Sammanfattning : The major softwood hemicellulose is galactoglucomannan (GGM), an abundant polysaccharide which constitutes up to 25% of the dry weight of wood, much of which is discarded in current refinery practices. Among the enzymes responsible for the degradation of this hemicellulose are the β-mannanases. LÄS MER
15. Extracellular matrix mimetic multi-functional scaffolds for tissue engineering and biomedical applications
Sammanfattning : Regeneration of functional tissues or complex organs via the combination of viable cells, biomimetic scaffolds, morphogenic factors, and external biophysical cues are the principle aims of Tissue Engineering (TE). TE relies on the use of artificial 3D scaffolds that can mimic the microenvironment of native tissue to harness the regenerative potential of cells. LÄS MER
