The rising effects of climate change and global problems of resource scarcity and environmental pollution require a change in paradigm towards sustainable energy and chemicals production. Photosynthetic microbes, including ...

Recombinant binding proteins are becoming increasingly important in various applications, including diagnostics, basic research, and therapeutics. Therefore, the demand for recombinant binding proteins will increase in ...

Cyanobacteria are unique prokaryotic microbes performing oxygenic photosynthesis. They have inherent capacity of the direct conversion of solar energy, CO2 and water into carbonbased compounds. Scientists’ increasing ...

Mycotoxin contamination in food is a serious concern for human and animal health. Today, we do not know how to detoxify food materials that are contaminated with mycotoxins in ways that retain their edibility. Therefore, ...

Food safety is of worldwide importance and in close relation to human daily life and wellbeing. Preservatives are often necessary to ensure the shelf life of food products. Despite the generally proven safety of synthetic ...

Rapid diagnostic tests, such as lateral flow immunoassays may enable diagnostics in resource poor areas, thus improving health outcomes by helping to control and eliminate infectious diseases. This thesis focuses on the ...

Prostate cancer, with an estimated 1.3 million new cases and 360,000 deaths every year, affects elderly men worldwide. Prostate cancer can either develop slowly without symptoms or aggressively by quickly disseminating the ...

Photon upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising reporters for supersensitive bioaffinity assays because they can be detected completely without autofluorescence background. This is enabled by anti-Stokes shifted ...

Cyanobacteria fix atmospheric CO2 into sugars using water and sunlight in a process called photosynthesis, generating O2 as a by-product. Cyanobacteria not only contribute substantially to global primary production, but ...

Plants regulate their responses to changing environmental conditions to cope with stresses and survive under natural growth habitats. Growth and stress responses must be strictly balanced to prevent poor survival and ...
