  2. 1. Vacuolar Ca2+-ATPases in Plants. Regulation by calmodulin binding to a N-terminal autoinhibitory domain

    Author : Susanna Malmström; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant biochemistry; N terminus; autoinhibitory domain; vacuole; calmodulin; calcium; plants; Ca2 -ATPase; Växtbiokemi;

    Abstract : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is essential for all plant and animal life. One important function of Ca2+ is as a second messenger in the responses of the cell to environmental and hormonal signals as well as in some intrinsic developmental processes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of cell signalling using bacterial toxins and organic electronic devices

    Author : Peter Kjäll; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : One of the most versatile biological signalling entities is the calcium ion, Ca2+. With a characteristic spatial and temporal signalling pattern, this universal second-messenger directs diverse cellular functions, e.g. secretion of neurotransmitters at the synaptic cleft to regulation of transcription and fertilization.

  5. 3. Canonical and noncanonical transducers for calcium signaling : role of Na,K-ATPase and angiotensin receptor

    Author : Zuzana Khorshidi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Calcium (Ca2+) is the most universal and versatile signal in the cell. This versatility is based on the speed, amplitude and spatio-temporal patterning of the Ca2+ events. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is one of the main Ca2+ channels responsible for the Ca2+ release from the intracellular stores. READ MORE

  6. 4. Identification of compounds that target glioma initiating cells

    Author : Shimei Wee; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma multiforme is a common form of brain tumor that leads to debilitating effects despite the current regiment of treatment, which includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. With the discovery of glioma-initiating cells (GICs) that exists within the bulk tumor, some light has been shed on this disease. READ MORE

  7. 5. Organic bioelectronic devices to control cell signalling

    Author : Karin Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The nervous system consists of a network of specialized cells that coordinate the actions of the body by transmitting information to and from the brain. The communication between the nerve cells is dependent on the interplay of both electrical and chemical signals. READ MORE
