    • Alginate and tunicate nanocellulose composite microbeads – Preparation, characterization and cell encapsulation 

      Kjesbu, Joachim Sebastian; Zaitseva-Zotova, Daria; Sämfors, Sanna; Gatenholm, Paul; Troedsson, Christofer; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Strand, Berit Løkensgard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Alginate has been used for decades for cell encapsulation. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) from tunicates are desirable in biomedicine due to high molecular weight, purity, crystallinity, and sustainable production. We prepared ...

    • The appendicularian Oikopleura dioica can enhance carbon export in a high CO<inf>2</inf> ocean 

      Taucher, Jan; Lechtenbörger, Anna Katharina; Bouquet, Jean-Marie; Spisla, Carsten; Boxhammer, Tim; Minutolo, Fabrizio; Bach, Lennart Thomas; Lohbeck, Kai T.; Sswat, Michael; Dörner, Isabel; Ismar-Rebitz, Stefanie M. H.; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Riebesell, Ulf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Gelatinous zooplankton are increasingly recognized to play a key role in the ocean's biological carbon pump. Appendicularians, a class of pelagic tunicates, are among the most abundant gelatinous plankton in the ocean, but ...

    • Evolution of CDK1 Paralog Specializations in a Lineage With Fast Developing Planktonic Embryos 

      Ma, Xiaofei; Øvrebø, Jan Inge; Thompson, Eric Malcolm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-28)
      The active site of the essential CDK1 kinase is generated by core structural elements, among which the PSTAIRE motif in the critical αC-helix, is universally conserved in the single CDK1 ortholog of all metazoans. We report ...

    • Functional specialization of Aurora kinase homologs during oogenic meiosis in the tunicate Oikopleura dioica 

      Feng, Haiyang; Thompson, Eric Malcolm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      A single Aurora kinase found in non-vertebrate deuterostomes is assumed to represent the ancestor of vertebrate Auroras A/B/C. However, the tunicate Oikopleura dioica, a member of the sister group to vertebrates, possesses ...

    • Injectable In Situ Crosslinking Hydrogel for Autologous Fat Grafting 

      Oskarsdotter, Kristin; Nordgård, Catherine Taylor; Apelgren, Peter; Säljö, Karin; Solbu, Anita Akbarzadeh; Eliasson, Edwin; Sämfors, Sanna; Sætrang, Henriette Elisabeth Myhr; Asdahl, Lise Cathrine; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Troedsson, Christofer; Simonsson, Stina; Strand, Berit Løkensgard; Gatenholm, Paul; Kölby, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Autologous fat grafting is hampered by unpredictable outcomes due to high tissue resorption. Hydrogels based on enzymatically pretreated tunicate nanocellulose (ETC) and alginate (ALG) are biocompatible, safe, and present ...

    • Mechanically reinforced, flexible, hydrophobic and uv impermeable starch-cellulose nanofibers (Cnf)-lignin composites with good barrier and thermal properties 

      Zhao, Yadong; Troedsson, Christofer; Bouquet, Jean-Marie; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Zheng, Bin; Wang, Miao (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Bio-based composite films have been widely studied as potential substitutes for conventional plastics in food packaging. The aim of this study was to develop multifunctional composite films by introducing cellulose nanofibers ...
