(Turun yliopisto, 2024-12-16)
Strategies for a green bioeconomy transition are of worldwide importance and closely related to society's well-being. There is a growing demand for sustainable solutions that increase the efficient use and recycling of ...
Novel circulatory biomarkers for ovarian cancer diagnosis: Nanoparticle based glycovariant assays
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-12-05)
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy and the seventh most common cancer worldwide. Current diagnosis options for ovarian cancer suffer from a lack of sensitivity and specificity that lead to either ...
Effect of cultivar, growth environment and developmental stage on phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid in potato tubers grown in Finland
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-12-18)
Potato is the most important non-cereal crop worldwide. It has been consumed in the South American Andes for thousands of years and then introduced to Europe in the XVII century. Thanks to its nutritional value and high ...
Biomechanics of cancer cell motility
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-04-12)
Metastatic cancer is a devastating disease and an unmet clinical need. The local invasion and colonization of distant organs by cancer cells are both dependent on cell migration, a conserved cellular process that allows ...
Novel bioprocessing for increasing consumption of Nordic berries
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-09-24)
Lingonberry is the highest yielding wild berry found in Finnish forests. Even though lingonberry is a commonly used berry in Finland, the annual harvesting rate is only approximately 10 % of the crop. Black currant is the ...
Bioprocessing of berry materials with malolactic fermentation
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-10-08)
Malolactic fermentation is used by wine industry to decrease acidity and introduce odor compounds through the metabolic activity of ethanol-tolerant lactic acid bacteria. In this work, this oenological approach was used ...
Employing Solid-State Platforms for Photosynthetic Chemical Production
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-06-07)
Photosynthetic microorganisms, such as cyanobacteria and microalgae play a key role in the ecosystem while also holding great economic potential for a sustainable future. These organisms offer diverse applications, ranging ...
Sensitive and quantitative lateral flow tests – with upconverting nanoparticle reporter technology
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-06-11)
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can be used in settings where access to a central laboratory is limited. These settings include point-of-care (POC) diagnostics performed near a patient during a physician’s appointment or in ...
Diversity in phosphorylation of thylakoid membrane proteins in chloroplasts
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-04-09)
Photosynthesis is the most fundamental process for life on Earth. Sunlight is highly variable and fluctuates both in intensity and duration, which induces short and longterm responses in photosynthetic organisms. Photosynthetic ...
Monitoring, suppression and molecular regulation mechanisms of mycotoxin-producing fungi
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-10-11)
Within the group of filamentous fungi, Aspergillus flavus is a prominent species because of its capability to produce aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The consumption of AFB1-contaminated food and feed causes aflatoxicosis, which can ...
