  1. 1. Visualizing neuronal cell sub-populations using novel transgenic zebrafish lines.

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

    Author : Aikaterini Zafeiriou; [2021]
    Keywords : Zebrafish; CRISPR Cas9; locomotion; confocal microscopy; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Zebrafish is a frequently used model organism with an array of transgenic lines that have been used indevelopmental and physiological studies. We aim to generate novel transgenic zebrafish reporter lines to study subpopulations of spinal neurons in vivo. READ MORE

  3. 2. A study of Neural Circuitry in Microdeletion Syndrome

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : David Holmberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Signal Processing; Analytical Software; Large Data Set; Classification; Sorting; Neurotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction. The Brain is an amazingly complex piece of biological hardware, capable of massive information processing. It relies heavily on the delicate interactions between huge distributed networks to work properly. When these interactions are altered there can be any number of consequences. READ MORE

  4. 3. How low levels of glucose and tryptophan may signal changes in development and symbiotic potential of ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysiologisk botanik

    Author : Alexandra Goetsch; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Symbiosis between tree species and ectomycorrhizal fungi is a fundamental relationship that promotes the overall health of boreal and temperate forests. Nutrient exchange between the two organisms is mutualistic in nature however establishment of this relationship is still not fully understood. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effects of a phthalate mixture on Wnt/β-catenin signaling, apoptosis and metabolic rate in zebrafish embryos

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Stavros Bountis; [2020]
    Keywords : phthalates; Wnt β-catenin signaling; apoptosis; zebrafish; metabolic rate;

    Abstract : One of the most common plasticizers used in the production of plastic are phthalates. These chemicals have been associated with many adverse effects including developmental and reproductive anomalies. Early developmental processes targeted by chemicals can have long-lasting effects on individuals. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of GM trees expressing a fungal enzyme : investigating the effects of the fungal enzyme on activation of jasmonate signaling using JAZ10:GUS reporter lines of Arabidopsis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology

    Author : Elin Bäckström; Therese Thalin; [2019]
    Keywords : cell wall formation; cell wall composition; genetic modification; genetic improvement; ; GUS;

    Abstract : The fungi enzyme glucuronoyl esterase can be used to change the cell wall composition in plants for easier extraction of cellulosic biomass compounds for the production of biomaterials and biofuels. However, previous studies have shown that expression of glucuronoyl esterase in plants causes stress response, mediated by jasmonate signaling, and growth penalty. READ MORE
