    Abstract : Alzheimer’s sjukdom är en neurodegenerativ sjukdom som leder till demens. Den kan börja tyst i de tidiga stadierna och fortsätta under åren till en allvarlig och obotlig fas. Språkstörningar uppstår ofta som ett av de tidiga symptomen och kan till slut leda till fullständig mutism i de avancerade stadierna av sjukdomen. READ MORE

  3. 2. Chromatin accessibility analysis of spaceflight mouse brains using ArchR

    University essay from KTH/Genteknologi

    Author : Raphaël Mauron; [2023]
    Keywords : Single nuclei ATAC-sequencing; Space Biology; DNA Chromatin accessibility; Neurodegenerative; ArchR; ATAC-sekvensering av enskilda kärnor; rymdbiologi; tillgänglighet av DNA kromatin ; neurodegenerativa sjukdomar; ArchR;

    Abstract : Mänsklig utforskning av månen och Mars innebär stora utmaningar för människans fysiologi och hälsa på grund av de unika miljöfaktorer som följer av långvariga rymduppdrag. Rymdbiologiska experiment har blivit ett viktigt verktyg för att studera effekterna som mikrogravitation och rymdstrålning har på levande organismer, i syfte att förstå och minska dessa utmaningar.

    Abstract : Amyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases.
