  1. 1. Effect of the cell-growth rate on the invasion and infection efficacy of Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes, and the potential cell-to-cell transfer of the parasite

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

    Author : Elisa Escabia Herrando; [2022]
    Keywords : Trypanosoma cruzi; infection kinetics; cell-to-cell infection; cell-growth rate;

    Abstract : Recent studies proposed that mammalian cell lines with slower growth rates were infected more efficiently by Trypanosoma cruzi, and that cell-to-cell transmission could be occurring during infection. This open the question of whether host cell-growth rate is a cellular characteristic influencing Trypanosoma cruzi invasion and infection. READ MORE

  3. 2. Antibody Testing for use in Immunohistochemistry and the Investigation of Precociously Induced Maturation of the Gastrointestinal Tract in Young Nude Rats

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Catherine Gidlund; [2016]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: Rat pups are born with an immature intestine adapted for the effective uptake of milk nutrients and with high permeability for bioactive molecules from the maternal milk until weaning. During weaning the immune system is activated after stimulation with e.g. dietary antigens, leading to an inflammatory response in the gut. READ MORE

  4. 3. Knockdown of the ERK pathway using siRNA in cultured chicken cardiomyocytes

    University essay from Biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Caroline Ovrén; [2014]
    Keywords : cell culture; RNA interference; cardiomyocytes; ERK; MAPK;

    Abstract : The ancient South American birds called tinamous (Tinamidae) have the smallest hearts known among birds and their cardiomyocytes have previously been shown to express significantly lower levels of the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK compared to the more modern chicken (Gallus gallus). ERK is a well-known mediator of growth signalling in the heart, especially in hypertrophy. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effekten av suggans näringsstatus på fostertillväxt och smågrisöverlevnad

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Sophia Isberg; [2011]
    Keywords : Sow; piglet; metabolic state; feed; foetal growth; stillbirth; piglet mortality; growth; colostrum; Sugga; smågris; näringsstatus; utfodring; fostertillväxt; dödfödslar; smågrisdödlighet; tillväxt; råmjölk;

    Abstract : The pig industry suffers economical loss due to stillbirths, piglet mortality and low birth weight. This is due to breeding programs that have resulted in larger litters. READ MORE
