  1. 1. Effect of Ion Channels on Intracellular Localization of REV-ERBα in Glioma-Initiating Cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Selay Oba; [2021]
    Keywords : cancer; childhood cancer; glioblastoma multiforme; GBM; SR9009; mibefradil; REV-ERBα;

    Abstract : The number of children and young adolescents diagnosed with cancer is increasing, leading to a need for new therapeutic strategies with diminished neurodegenerative side- effects. This report presents preliminary observations on glioma-initiating cells (GICs) in the way to develop a strategy that induces cell-cycle arrest or quiescence in neural stem cells (NSCs). READ MORE

  3. 2. Reactive Async : Safety and efficiency of new abstractions for reactive, asynchronous programming

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

    Author : Simon Geries; [2016]
    Keywords : parallel; programming; reactive; asynchronous;

    Abstract : Futures and Promises have become an essential part of asynchronous programming. However, they have important limitations, allowing at most one result and no support for cyclic dependencies, instead resulting in deadlocks. READ MORE

  4. 3. Catch the dream Wave : Propagation of Cortical Slow Oscillation to the Striatum in anaesthetised mice

    University essay from KTH/Beräkningsbiologi, CB

    Author : Tiago Ferreira; [2014]
    Keywords : Cortex; Striatum; anaesthesia; slow oscillation; spontaneous activity; ketamine; in vivo; up states; wavelet; MUA; high-gamma range; MSNs;

    Abstract : Under anaesthesia or in deep sleep, different parts of the brain have a distinctive slow oscillatory activity, characterised by states of high membrane potential and intensive spiking activity, the Up-states; followed by hyperpolarisation and quiescence, the Down-states. This activity has been previously described in vitro and in vivo in the cortex and the striatum, across several species. READ MORE

  5. 4. The HMG box of the histone lysine methylase spLsd1 is required for entry into quiescence

    University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

    Author : Ulrika Norman; [2008]
    Keywords : Lsd1; pombe; quiescence; transcription;

    Abstract : The capability to control the progression of the cell cycle, including the means to enter into a stable non-proliferative state, is essential for eukaryotic unicellular and multicellular organisms. A quiescent state similar to G0 of higher eukaryotes can be induced by nitrogen starvation of the fission yeast model organism Schizosaccharomyces pombe. READ MORE

  6. 5. Public Attitude Towards the Union: The EU and Canada Compared
