(Master thesis, 2021)The predominantly expressed isoform of CSPP1, CSPP-L, is a centrosomal and Centriolar satellite protein with functions in microtubule organization in cell division and cilia formation. CSPP-L dose and microtubule organizing ... -
Change in content of extracellular vesicles from human skeletal muscle cells after electrical pulse stimulation with focus on microRNA.
(Master thesis, 2021)Background and Aim Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles with a double membrane postulated to be released by cells of all types and can be detected in all body fluids. They are classified in three groups ... -
Synthesis and LC-MS Analysis of Cinchona Derivatives
(Master thesis, 2021)Cinchona alkaloids with their main component Quinine, are isolated from the barks of several species of cinchona trees and have been used in medicine for over 400 years mainly as anti-malarial medication. These natural ... -
Optimizing DNA Extraction from Dried Blood Spots for Biological Age Measurements
(Master thesis, 2021)While the chronological age is the time that has passed since birth, the biological age is determined by physiological signs of aging. Methylation at CpG sites has proven to be a promising biomarker of biological age, and ... -
