  4. 18. Modulation of a model ligand-gated ion channel by amphetamine derivatives

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Emelia Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : pentameric ligand-gated ion channels; sTeLIC; electrophysiology; psychostimulants; amphetamine derivatives;

    Abstract : Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels are critical mediators of electrochemical signal transduction in neurons and other excitable cells, causing them to be important targets of psychoactive drugs. Structural data for these complex proteins are limited, particularly among eukaryotic family members and for the functionally critical open state. READ MORE

  5. 19. 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

  6. 20. Why should 3D Gait Analysis be included in the Walking Pattern Assessment of individuals with Spinal Cord Injury? : Biomechanical analysis of gait and gait patterns in individuals with spinal cord injury

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Chiara Pollicini; [2022]
    Keywords : Spinal cord injury; 3D gait analysis; gait features; GDI; GPS; Clinical assessments; ASIA scale;

    Abstract : Background: The yearly incidence of people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is between250,000 and 500,000, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The injury often reduces the ability to walk. Various consequences affect the nervous system and, thus, the entire body. READ MORE
