  2. 1. Sorting nexin 9 in clathrin-mediated endocytosis

    Author : Richard Lundmark; Sven Carlsson; Elizabeth Smythe; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; sorting nexin; dynamin; clathrin; endocytosis; human; adaptor protein complexes; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is a process by which cells can internalise diverse molecules such as nutrients, antigens and signalling-surface receptors. The creation of clathrin-coated vesicles demands interplay between the plasma membrane lipids, cargo molecules and the proteins that build up the coat. READ MORE

  4. 2. Membrane-remodeling by SNX18 in endosomal transport and autophagy

    Author : Karin Håberg; Sven Carlsson; Geir Bjørkøy; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sorting nexin; SNX9-family; SNX18; endosomal transport; autophagy; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The intracellular space of eukaryotic cells is subdivided into functionally distinct membrane-enclosed organelles. Regulation of these intracellular membranes requires an intricate network of specialized lipids and proteins that maintain organellar integrity and mediate transport between organelles. READ MORE

  5. 3. The functional role of the MUC17-based glycocalyx

    Author : Sofia Jäverfelt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intestine; Glycocalyx; Membrane mucin; Host defenses;

    Abstract : Our gastrointestinal tract harbors trillions of bacteria that are chemically and spatially separated from the intestinal epithelium. Maintaining an intact mucosal barrier is essential as increased bacterial contact is associated with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn´s disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. On neuroinflammation in psychotic disorders

    Author : Carl Sellgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neuroinflammation has been implicated in several psychiatric conditions. Based on experimental studies, the glia-derived tryptophan metabolite kynurenic acid (KYNA) may be especially relevant for positive psychotic symptoms and impaired executive functioning. READ MORE
