  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. Decoding Hormone Interactions: Investigating Health Status Using Hormone Signatures in Blood

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Stina Brunell; Elis Pettersson Gradin; Victor Englöf; Lovisa Wigertz; Embla Persson; Josephine Maglio; [2023]

  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
