  1. 1. Toxicological analysis of Pyraclostrobin and Cyprodinilon Zebrafish larvae

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Kim Yeju; [2022]
    Keywords : gene expression; mixture effect; toxicity; pesticides; stress response;

    Abstract : Cyprodinil and pyraclostrobin are widely used pesticides to protect many plants from attack of microorganisms and fungal diseases. Although cyprodinil and pyraclostrobin exist in the aquatic environment at low concentration, their leftovers in the ecosystems lead to oxidative damage and interfere development in aquatic animals at environmental-relevant concentration.

  3. 2. Molecular Mechanisms of Endophilin B1-Bax Macromolecular Complexes in Membrane Permeabilization and Cell Death

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tobias Kollberg Hedström; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A crucial step during apoptosis is the accumulation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax on the mitochondria where it triggers permeabilization of the outer membrane. This causes the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol and is considered a point of no return in programmed cell death. READ MORE

  4. 3. Human adenovirus type 5 infection alters mitochondrial membrane dynamics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Erik Schubert; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles that orchestrate essential cellular functions including ATP synthesis, calcium homeostasis and apoptosis. Furthermore, mitochondria are effective stimulators of the innate immune system through the release of mitochondrial components into the cytosol. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of DLG knockout, vitamin D and probiotic treatment on Drosophila gene expression

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande

    Author : Sophie Améen; [2018]
    Keywords : DLG; Drosophila melanogaster; Vitamin D; Probiotics; Colorectal cancer;

    Abstract : Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers today. Dlg is a tumor suppressor gene commonly silenced in cancer cells. Many colorectal cancer patients are subject to vitamin D3 deficiency and/ or an altered microbiome. READ MORE

  6. 5. Improving Quality of Avionics Software Using Mutation Testing

    University essay from Databas och informationsteknik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : John Törnblom; [2014]
    Keywords : Software Testing; Mutation Testing; Compiler Construction;

    Abstract : Mutation testing is a powerful fault-based testing technique that makes syntactic changes to a program under test in order to simulate real faults otherwise caused by a programmer. Similar to structural coverage criteria such as statement coverage, mutation testing is used to assess the quality of a test suite. READ MORE
