  2. 1. Towards new computational tools for predicting toxicity

    Author : Swapnil Chavan; Ian Nicholls; Scott Boyer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acute toxicity; chronic toxicity; hERG; k-NN; LD50; LOEL; Munro database; QSAR; read-across; toxicity; Medicinsk kemi; Medical Chemistry;

    Abstract : The toxicological screening of the numerous chemicals that we are exposed to requires significant cost and the use of animals. Accordingly, more efficient methods for the evaluation of toxicity are required to reduce cost and the number of animals used. READ MORE

  4. 2. Polymorphism in pattern recognition receptor genes in pigs

    Author : Ingrid-Maria Bergman; Inger Edfors; Kristina Nilsson Ekdahl; Kjell Edman; Dag Inge Våge; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : The mammalian immune defense consists of two systems, which are interconnected and co-operate to provide host defense. The innate immune system is always active and detects and responds to non-self without delay. The adaptive immune system has a lag phase, but is more specific and has got a memory. READ MORE

  5. 3. Conifer embryology : a study of polar auxin transport and WOX transcription factors

    Author : Joakim Palovaara; Inger Hakman; Wolfgang Werr; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Cell and Organism Biology; Cell- och organismbiologi;

    Abstract : Plants, like animals, use endogenous signaling molecules to coordinate their own physiology and development. One such molecule in plants is the hormone auxin and recent research has implicated auxin and its polar transport, together with the WOX transcription factors, in regulating embryo patterning and development in angiosperms (flowering plants), the most diverse group of land plants.

  6. 4. Modelling the evolution of treatment-induced resistance in Ph+ leukaemias

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; Ran Friedman; Arne Traulsen; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chronic myeloid leukaemia; Stochastic modelling; Tyrosine kinase inhibitor; Drug resistance; Clonal evolution; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap; Medicinsk kemi; Medical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Targeted therapies are a mainstay of modern cancer treatments. Rather than harming rapidly dividing cells in general, targeted therapies work by directly interfering with oncogenic molecular pathways present in a tumour. Consequently, a targeted therapy typically has less severe side effects. READ MORE

  7. 5. Thylakoid membrane from spinach - effect of processing on their function as appetite suppressing ingredient

    Author : Karolina Östbring; Aptitkontroll; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drying; Storage Conditions; Appetite; Thylakoids; Heat treatment; Chlorophyll; Spinach;

    Abstract : Western diet contains a high proportion of palatable food, rich in refined carbohydrates and fat, that subsequently increases the risk of overconsumption and possibly leads to overweight and obesity. Therefore an approach to strengthen the inherent satiety for fat can be used to prevent overconsumption. READ MORE
