Mechanism of Action of G-blocks: Is calcium involved?
Røe, Marit Vaagen (Master thesis, 2013)The mucus barrier coats the internal surfaces in the body and is one of nature?s success stories. Due to the physiological importance of it there has been extensive research on mucus and mucins for decades. Several mechanisms ... -
Nanoparticle Mobility in Pig Small Intestine Mucus (PSIM) - Optimization of Methods used to study Diffusion of Nanoparticles through PSIM, and the Effect of G-block
Wien, Ingrid (Master thesis, 2015)In this thesis, methods for studying diffusion of nanoparticles through pig small intestine mucus (PSIM) were to be studied and optimized. The nanoparticles used were different types of FluoSpheres® and also rhodamine ... -
The Effect of G-block on the Extracellular Matrix Barrier to Molecular Diffusion
Wøien, Stine Malene Hansen (Master thesis, 2015)Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) are one of the characteristics of solid tumours. Many types of cancers associated with high mortality rates develop solid tumours with an extensive fibrotic extracellular matrix. Over ... -
The Effects of Nanoparticle Drug Delivery Formulations on the Rheological Properties of Mucus
Katuwal, Nishan (Master thesis, 2017)The aerosol technology used in lungs drug delivery is not precise enough to target all the drugs to alveoli. Some off target deposition of nanoparticles occurs in airway mucus. In general, mucociliary clearance is capable ...
