  1. 1. Role of androgen receptor signaling in the activation and differentiation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Faiza Tahsin Rashid; [2023-06-27]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Androgens are steroid hormones essential for the development and maintenance of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are immune cells that act as the first line of defense against viral infections. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. The effect of TRAP150 on HPV16 E1 gene regulation

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

    Author : Emma Svanberg Frisinger; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a small DNA virus that is known as the causative agent in cervical cancer. The virus is found worldwide and causes more than 300 000 deaths yearly. Although there are many types of HPV, HPV16 is found in 99 % of cervical cancer cases. READ MORE

  5. 4. Actin filaments as an indicator of impaired neuronal differentiation mediated by disruption of the retinoic acid signalling pathway

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Hanin Salloum; [2022]
    Keywords : Retinoic acid; actin; cytoskeleton; neural progenitor C17.2 cells; neuron; Coronin 1C; Cdc42 Cdc42 effector protein 4 gene ; Fn1 Fibronectin ; Wnt pathway.;

    Abstract : Retinoic acid (RA) is a well-known neurodevelopmental signaling molecule. It is reported to induce effects on neurite formation in differentiating neurons and to interfere with the actin cytoskeleton. Therefore, this project aimed to investigate the mechanisms behind effects of RA on the actin cytoskeleton of developing neurons using the C17. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
