  2. 11. Novel FISH methods to unveil genome architecture

    Author : Ana Mota; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The genome consists of incredibly long DNA strands that encode all the vital information for the cell to function. The DNA inclusion in the very tight nuclear space and, simultaneously, the establishment of a hierarchical organization of the chromatin that favors transcription of certain genes over others, sparked a long-lasting quest to understand the design principles that govern genome architecture.

  4. 12. Biodegradation of the Recalcitrant Endocrine Disruptor Nonylphenol

    Author : Ana Soares; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biofilm bioreactors; Miljöteknik; pollution control; Environmental technology; Teknik; Technological sciences; white-rot fungi; nonylphenol ethoxylates; endocrine-disrupting activity; contaminated soil; cold-adapted organisms; kontroll av utsläpp; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; biodegradation;

    Abstract : Currently, over 100 high-volume chemicals have been classified as endocrine disrupters. One of these is nonylphenol, which was used as the model compound in this study. This substance originates mainly from the degradation of non-ionic surfactants (nonylphenol ethoxylates) which are widely used in industrial and domestic applications. READ MORE

  5. 13. Enhancing neuronal inhibition by cell and gene therapy as a novel treatment for Epilepsy

    Author : Ana Gonzalez Ramos; Epilepsicentrum; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epilepsy; Interneurons; GABA; Human pluripotent stem cells; Cell therapy; Gene therapy; Chemogenetics; Hippocampus; TLE; Cntnap2;

    Abstract : Epilepsy is a family of heterogeneous and multifactorial neurological disorders, unified by the occurrence of spontaneous recurrent seizures. Overall, it affects 50 million people worldwide of all ages and genders. READ MORE

  6. 14. Modelling impact climate-related change on the thermal responses of lakes

    Author : Ana I. Ayala; Donald C. Pierson; Stéphane Goyette; Andreas Lorke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Modelling; climate change; lakes; thermal structure; surface heat fluxes; extreme events;

    Abstract : In response to climate-related changes, lakes worldwide have experienced warmer surface water temperatures, shorter ice cover periods and changes in lake stratification. As these aspects of lake dynamics exert substantial control over nutrient availability, oxygenation and biogeochemical cycling, predicting changes in lake water temperature and stratification dynamics can improve our understanding of the consequences of warming on lake ecosystems.

  7. 15. Morphologican and functional studies on the Drosophila neuromuscular system during postembryonic stages

    Author : Ana Beramendi; Rafael Cantera; Prof. Carlos Dotti; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drosophila; neuromuscular system; Rel-proteins; fly brain; rhythmic morphology; aging; ; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi;

    Abstract : The nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as an excellent model for fundamental neuroscience as well as for biomedical research of human neurological diseases. In this thesis, two aspects of the neuromuscular system have been investigated: the role of the IkB-protein Cactus in the larval neuromuscular junction and the morphology of motor terminals throughout adult life.
