Squalene Depletion in Skin Following Human Exposure to Ozone under Controlled Chamber Conditions

Shen Yang

A major component of human skin oil is squalene, a highly unsaturated hydrocarbon that protects the skin from atmospheric oxidants. Skin oil, and thus squalene, is continuously replenished on the skin surface. Squalene is also quickly consumed through reac ...

Trans‐seeding of Alzheimer‐related tau protein by a yeast prion

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Zhiva Skachokova

Abnormal tau protein aggregates constitute a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanisms underlying the initiation of tau aggregation in sporadic neurodegeneration remain unclear. Here we investigate whether a non-human prion can seed tau aggregation. ...

Material Characterization with PZE actuated Suspended Microchannel Resonators

Rebecca Camilla Leghziel

SMRs have been used in numerous applications for life science where most samples are contained in liquid. In this work we investigate how a biological medium, such as phosphate buffer solution (PBS), affects the Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) of PZE actuated ...
