  1. 1. Hormonal Influence on the Proliferation Potential of C17.2 Neuronal Progenitor Cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alexander Mangano; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The brain is arguably the most complex organ of the body: Controlling muscles, maintaining homeostasis, processing information. It has the longest developmental period of any organ, and hormones are essential during its development. READ MORE

  3. 2. Computational prediction of cell-cell interactions in the brain-tumour microenvironment

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Paula Camargo Romera; [2023]
    Keywords : Cancer; Glioblastoma; Computational Biology; Bioinformatics; Microenvironment; Brain tumour; Interactions; Systems Biology;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the fastest-growing, and the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. It is normally treated with surgery and radio- or chemotherapy, but the approximate life expectancy is of 15 months with a high probability of cancer recurring. Therefore, there is a need for decreasing its severity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Impact of BPA, BPF and Mixture N1 on DNA-Methylation of GRIN2B and NR3C1 during human neuroprogenitor cell differentiation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Fysiologi och miljötoxikologi

    Author : Franziska Sophie Richter; [2023]
    Keywords : Epigenetics; Endocrine disrupting chemicals; DNA methylation; EDCs; Mixture effects; BPA; BPF; Mixture N1;

    Abstract : Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous and their adverse impact on nature, wildlife and humans is extensively researched. We are constantly exposed to EDCs, such as the widespread and extensively researched Bisphenol A, as well as its substitute Bisphenol F, which is coming into wider use, even though it is much less is researched and limited information is available about its endocrine effects.

  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. Synthesis of Fluorescent Analogues of FluoBar1 for Studying Protein Expression Rates in Living Cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Organisk kemi

    Author : Victor Hellgren; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : L-type voltage gated calcium channels are membrane bound ion channels that regulate the intracellular concentration of calcium ions as a response to changes in the membrane potential. They exist in four isoforms and recent studies have brought extra attention to the Cav1. READ MORE
