  1. 1. Transcriptional basis of Huntington’s Disease: Gene expression analysis indicate increased immune responses in the brain and mitochondrial dysfunction in adipose tissues of HD model mouse

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Intisar Salim; [2023]
    Keywords : Huntington’s Disease; mRNA-seq; tissue specific gene expression; cerebrospinal fluid; biomarker; Huntingtons sjukdom; mRNA-seq; vävnadsspecifik genexpression; cerebrospinalvätska; biomarkör;

    Abstract : Huntingtons sjukdom (HD) är ett neurodegenerativt tillstånd som orsakas av mutationer i huntingtin gen (Htt), och resulterar till upprepade glutamin (polyQ) i Htt-proteinet. Muterad Htt kan inte vika sig ordentligt och börjar därför aggregera i celler. READ MORE

    Keywords : cerebrospinal fluid; plasma; insulin-like growth factors IGFs ; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; affinity proteomics; cerebrospinalvätska; plasma; insulinliknande tillväxtfaktorer IGF ; amyotrofisk lateralskleros; affinitetsproteomik;

    Abstract : Amyotrofisk lateral skleros (ALS) är en progressiv och dödlig neurodegenerativ sjukdom som påverkar motorneuroner i både hjärnan och ryggraden. Dagens ALS forskning har ett fokus på att skapa en bättre förståelse för både sjukdomsmekanism och de metaboliska processer som bidrar till sjukdomen. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating Blood Biomarker Profiles in Adults with New-onset Seizures using Machine Learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning
