Glucose-evoked insulin secretion exhibits a biphasic time course and is associated with accelerated intracellular granule movement. We combined live confocal imaging of EGFP-labelled insulin granules with capacitance measurements of exocytosis in clonal INS-1 cells to explore the relation between distinct random and directed modes of insulin granule movement, as well as exocytotic capacity. Reduci

BACKGROUND: The spinal cord is composed of a large number of cells that interact to allow the organism to function. To perform detail studies of cellular processes involved in spinal cord injury (SCI), one must use repeatable and specific methods to target and injure restricted areas of the spinal cord.NEW METHOD: We propose a robust method to induce SCI in zebrafish by laser light. With a 2-photo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blod består av flera olika typer av mogna celler som har specialiserat sig på olika uppgifter, till exempel transporterar röda blodkroppar, erytrocyter, syre, medan lymfoida celler, sk B och T-celler är en del av vårt immunförsvar. Alla dessa mogna celler kan bildas från en cell, nämligen den hematopoietiska stamcellen. Stamcellens dotterceller utvecklas sedan till mer All hematopoietic cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) residing in the bone marrow (BM). The classical model of hematopoietic lineage commitment, that has been the prevailing model for hematopoiesis, proposes that the first lineage commitment step of HSCs and progenitors results in a strict separation of myelopoiesis and lymphopoiesis. However, an alternative model has already been

Persistence is a reversible and low-frequency phenomenon allowing a subpopulation of a clonal bacterial population to survive antibiotic treatments. Upon removal of the antibiotic, persister cells resume growth and give rise to viable progeny. Type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were assumed to play a key role in the formation of persister cells in Escherichia coli based on the observation that s

Background: Targeted therapies exploiting vulnerabilities of cancer cells hold promise for improving patient outcome and reducing side-effects of chemotherapy. However, efficacy of precision therapies is limited in part because of tumor cell heterogeneity. A better mechanistic understanding of how drug effect is linked to cancer cell state diversity is crucial for identifying effective combination

We studied the influence of shape and secondary, or intercellular, organization on the absorption and scattering properties of red blood cells to determine whether these properties are of any practical significance for optical evaluation of whole blood and its constituents. A series of measurements of transmittance and reflectance of light from bovine blood in a flow cuvette was conducted with a 6

Techniques for manipulating, separating, and trapping particles and cells are highly desired in today's bioanalytical and biomedical field. The microfluidic chip-based acoustic noncontact trapping method earlier developed within the group now provides a flexible platform for performing cell- and particle-based assays in continuous flow microsystems. An acoustic standing wave is generated in etched

Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that have entered the circulation of the body breaking free from their primary tumour and that can act as progenitors of metastasis. At the time of writing, a study on a novel method to detect and count CTCs using imaging flow cytometry (IFC) is being conducted at Lund University. In the study, a problem was found where CTCs clustered with normal wh

The Indo-European Erasmus Mundus Action 2 mobility programme EMINTE, was coordinated by Lund University 2013-2015. EMINTE was a consortium consisting of 20 universities – 10 European and 10 Indian and SASNET was an Associate partner in the consortium. The programme was open to Indian nationals who wanted to study or work at one of the ten European partner universities. It involved students on unde

The success of cell therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) depends on reliable differentiation of stem cells into functional pancreatic islets. Current protocols produce stem cell-derived islets (SC-islets) that contain non-endocrine cells and show limited maturity. We developed a robust protocol that generates functional SC-islets from all eight tested human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lines. Differe

In this paper, we present results of optical simulations on the absorption of nanowires. The simulation was performed with rigorous coupled wave analysis to determine the potential of nanowires for use in a new kind of nanostructured solar cell. The overall absorption of the solar cell structure was calculated for four different diameters of the nanowires and also in dependence of light wavelength

Therapies against cell-surface targets (CSTs) represent an emerging treatment class in solid malignancies. However, high-throughput investigations of CST expression across cancer types have been reliant on data sets of mostly primary tumors, despite therapeutic use most commonly in metastatic disease. We identified a total of 818 clinical trials of CST therapies with 78 CSTs. We assembled a data s
