  1. 21. Drosophila Melanogaster as a model for studies on fertility associated biomarkers

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Anton de Jong; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many of the processes that regulate male fertility are intricate and subfertility strikes hard against both couples trying to concieve and cattle farmers where the fertility of males used for artificial insemination is the single most important factor viewed in relative economic terms. A recently published study by Fagerlind and collegues showed that seven microRNA sequences differed significantly in expression between bulls with moderate and high fertility. READ MORE

  3. 22. Structural elucidation of mRNA(Sirt1)-microRNA 34a complex

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskaplig kommunikation och lärande (ECE)

    Author : Mona Farshchian; [2015]
    Keywords : mRNA Sirt1 ; miR-34a; in vitro transcription; gel electrophoresis; CD spectroscopy; NMR; cancer regulation via p53; HPLC; mRNA Sirt1 ; miR-34a; in vitro transkription; gel elektroforesis; CD spektroskopi; NMR; cancer regulering via p53; HPLC;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to understand RNA-RNA interactions steering cellular functions, as in the case of this thesis the structure of mRNA(Sirt1) in complex with microRNA-34a (miR-34a). MiR-34a regulates the cancer protein p53 via Sirt1 modulation. READ MORE

  4. 23. Detection of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) in Asian (Elephas maximus) and African elephants (Loxodonta africana)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Anna Kotila-Row; [2015]
    Keywords : Asian elephant; Elephas maximus; African elephant; Loxodonta africana; elephant herpesvirus; hemorrhagic disease; polymerase chain reaction; microRNA; ultrasound-guided biopsy; antibody; acute phase protein;

    Abstract : Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) has been identified as the cause of rapid onset acute hemorrhagic disease. EEHV infects both Asian (Elephas maximus) and African elephants (Loxodonta africana). The virus has been detected in wild and captive populations. Seven different genotypes of EEHV have been identified so far. READ MORE

  5. 24. Metoder som minskar bildning av teratom vid in vivo transplantation av inducerade pluripotenta celler

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Therese de Haan; [2013]
    Keywords : inducerade pluripotenta celler; iPS-celler; pluripotens; teratom; cancerceller; virala; vektorer; transgener; Oc3 4; Klf4; Sox2; c-Myc;

    Abstract : Inducerad pluripotens innebär att man inducerar mogna celler till att övergå i ett pluripotent stadium och bilda så kallade inducerade pluripotenta celler (iPS-celler). Detta görs till exempel genom viral integration av transkriptionsfaktorerna octamer-binding transcription factor 3 och 4 (Oct3/4), sex determining region Y-box 2 (Sox2), Krüppel-like factor 4 (Klf4) och c-Myc.

  6. 25. Analysis of conserved microRNA targets in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

    University essay from Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik

    Author : Ninwa Youssef; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : MicroRNA (miRNA) is small regulatory non-coding single stranded RNA molecule that can repress protein expression either at transcriptional or translational level. Since their discoveries in nematodes in the early 1990´s extensive research have shown that this mechanism is conserved across species. READ MORE
