  1. 21. The roles of heparan sulfate in autophagy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Asifa Khan; [2022]
    Keywords : Heparan sulfate; LC3-II; p62; Autophagy;

    Abstract : Background: Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation process to eliminate damaged components from the cells. It also provides a survival mechanism in stressed conditions and limits growth processes. Heparan sulfate (HS) is a polysaccharide attached to different proteoglycans. READ MORE

  3. 22. Targeted and non-targeted approaches to ImprUV the nutritional profile of greenhouse crops

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Hanna Forsman; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This work was made to discover if greenhouse crops, particularly broccoli and Chinese cabbage, can change their metabolism and therefore their nutritional profile depending on what ultraviolet radiation (UV) they were exposed during growth. This is important since the world’s population increases and therefore, we need to be able to produce foods with increased nutritional quality. READ MORE

  4. 23. Extraction of gating mechanisms from Markov state models of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Dimitrios Karalis; [2021]
    Keywords : GLIC; Markov state models MSMs ; KL divergence; Machine Learning ML ; pentameric ligand-gated ion channel pLGIC ; channel gating;

    Abstract : GLIC är en pH-känslig pentamerisk ligandstyrd jonkanal (pLGIC) som finns i cellmembranet hos prokaryoten Gloeobacter violaceus. GLIC är en bakteriell homolog till flera receptorer som är viktiga i nervsystemet hos de flesta eukaryotiska organismer. READ MORE

  5. 24. Promote neuroprotection and axonal outgrowth in the central and peripheral neural system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Elin Petersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Spinal cord injury; interleukin-1 receptor antagonist; excitotoxicity; qPCR; dorsal root ganglion.;

    Abstract : Acute spinal cord injury is often caused by collisions with motor vehicles, falls or violence. This injury could potentially lead to paraplegia or tetraplegia, causing great economic and personal loss. The patophysiology is biphasic, with primary and secondary mechanisms. READ MORE

  6. 25. The Effects of ACK1 and Cell Density on ErbB3

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Julia Svensson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The ErbB family of receptors are involved in signalling relating to cell proliferation and differentiation through activation of pathways such as PI3K and MAPK. Their overexpression is often found in different cancer types and therefore, their expression is under tight regulation. READ MORE
