1. 16. Epigenetic Regulation of Mitochondrial DNA

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Jennie Johansson; [2020]
   Keywords : Acetylation; Epigenetics; Heteroplasmy; Methylation; Mitochondrial haplotype; Mitochondrion; Non coding RNA; Phosphorylation;

   Abstract : This mini-review investigates and compiles the latest knowledge regarding epigenetic changes on the mammalian mitochondrial DNA and its proteins. Methylation of the DNA, acetylation of the proteins and silencing of genes by short non-coding RNAs are the main epigenetic changes known today to affect mitochondrial DNA, mostly leading to repression.

3. 17. Histone modifications and their role in splicing

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Author : Anna Wettermark; [2020]
   Keywords : Splicing; Spliceosome; Histone modifications; epigenetics; histone methylation; histone acetylation; histone phosphorylation; histone ubiquitination;

   Abstract : Splicing is the process when introns gets removed and exons are spliced together. This is an important step to form a clean mRNA with no unnecessary sequences that could interrupt protein synthesis. There are different types of splicing and some of them need a complex called spliceosome. READ MORE

4. 18. Studying the effects of Muscone on PANC-1 in vitro

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

   Author : Kyriaki Gerontaki; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this project cancer was viewed as a metabolic disorder. The study focused on the effect of synthetic muscone on PANC-1 cells. Synthetic muscone is a ketone. Some cancers lack the potential to metabolise ketone bodies, mainly due to mitochondrial dysfunction. READ MORE

5. 19. Tau phosphorylation on threonine 217 as a potential biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Sukri Omar Jama; [2019]
   Keywords : P217; hyperphosphorylation; Taupathies; CSF; plasma; serum; Simoa; antibodies; assay; Progressive supranuclear palsy; Alzheimer’s disease and Global glial Taupathies; P217; hyperfosforyrlering; Taupathies; CSF; plasma; serum; Simoa; antikroppar; analys; Progressiv supranukleär pares; Corticobasal degeneration och Globular glialtauopati;

   Abstract : Hyperfosforylering av biomarkörproteinet Tau förekommer i flera neurodegenerativa sjukdomar som kallas Taupathies. Proteinets huvudfunktion i människokroppen är att modulera flexibilitet och stabilitet för axonal-mikrotubulin. I Taupathies utlöser hyperfosforyleringen av Tau instabilitet och neurodegenerationen.

6. 20. The mechanisms of TK1 secretion in cancer cells

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

   Author : Tabassom Mohajer Shojai; [2019]
   Keywords : Thymidine kinase 1 excretion; cancer cell line; dot-blot chemiluminescence assay; exosome isola-tion; [3H]-dThd phosphorylation assay;

   Abstract : A seventy five percent increase in cancer incidence within 10 years is one of the major human health issues based on the World Health Or-ganization (WHO) evaluation. Prevention of cancer through health screening was suggested by the WHO as a means of early detection of cancer. READ MORE
