  1. 1. Development of osmo- and appetite regulation during transfer of smolt from freshwater to increasing salinities

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Jonna Hellesten; [2023-01-26]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is common in Scandinavian aquaculture and must be transferred from freshwater to seawater to grow properly. Despite being assessed as ready smolts, meaning they have gone through the physiological changes to prepare for SW transfer, the transfer result in a mortality rate of around 13-19%, and significant appetite- and growth reductions.

  3. 2. Investigating the expression and function of RNA-binding protein FUBL-1 in C. elegans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Védís Mist Eyju Agnadóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is an important mechanism of gene silencing in Caenorhabditis elegans, in which short RNAs direct sequence-specific silencing of gene expression mediated by Argonaute proteins. RNAi in C. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigating the subcellular localisation and function(s) of dystrophin protein Dp71 isoforms in glioma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Abdullah Al-Ani; [2022]
    Keywords : DMD; Dp71; glioblastoma; Lamin B1; cell migration;

    Abstract : The Dp71 protein is the most expressed product of the DMD gene in the nervous system. Mutation in the region codes dystrophin protein (Dp71) linked to cognitive disturbances in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. There is growing evidence that the gene is contributing to the development of Central Nervous System related cancers. READ MORE

  5. 4. Differential expression and function of fubl-1 gene isoforms in C. elegans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Joel Pålsson; [2022]
    Keywords : isoform; gene expression; C elegans; protein; alternative splicing; isoformer; genuttryck; C elegans; protein; alternativ splicing;

    Abstract : Alternative splicing is the process of producing a variety of transcripts from one and the same gene. This adds further possible variability to gene expression and can in theory mean that one protein coding gene can produce multiple proteins with potentially different functions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Synthesis of Fluorescent Analogues of FluoBar1 for Studying Protein Expression Rates in Living Cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Organisk kemi

    Author : Victor Hellgren; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : L-type voltage gated calcium channels are membrane bound ion channels that regulate the intracellular concentration of calcium ions as a response to changes in the membrane potential. They exist in four isoforms and recent studies have brought extra attention to the Cav1. READ MORE
