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. Role of androgen receptor signaling in the activation and differentiation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Faiza Tahsin Rashid; [2023-06-27]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Androgens are steroid hormones essential for the development and maintenance of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are immune cells that act as the first line of defense against viral infections. READ MORE

4. 3. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Author : Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
   Keywords : sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

   Abstract : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

5. 4. Sex Differences in Dopamine D1-type Receptors and Episodic Memory : an Imaging Study Across the Adult Lifespan

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Umeå centrum för funktionell hjärnavbildning (UFBI); Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

   Author : Anton Degerfält; [2023]
   Keywords : dopamine; D1DR; sex; episodic memory; ageing; PET; MRI;

   Abstract : Identification of the pathways that could be targeted to alleviate ageing-related cognitive decline is of prime importance. One of the most promising target mechanisms is connected to healthy dopaminergic ageing. READ MORE

6. 5. Characterization of diazepam binding inhibitor as a structure-function tool for human ɣ-aminobutyric acid-A receptors

   University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

   Author : Szabolcs Simon-Guth; [2023]
   Keywords : γ-Aminobutyric acid sub-type A receptors; diazepam binding inhibitor; receptor modulation; recombinant protein expression; two-electrode voltage clamp; dose-response curve; Gammaaminosmörsyrareceptor typ A; Diazepambindande hämmare; receptormodulering; reckmbinant proteinexpression; spänningsklämma med två elektroder; dosresponskurva;

   Abstract : Gammaaminosmörsyrareceptorer typ A (GABAAR) är pentameriska ligandstyrda kloridkanaler som uppvisar neurohämmande egenskaper. Därmed är de primära läkemedelsmål för flera ångestdämpande och lugnande läkemedel som används för att minska förekomsten av aktionspotential i neuroner. READ MORE
