  2. 16. Characterization of Membrane Proteins: From a gated plant aquaporin to animal ion channel receptors

    Author : Sabeen Survery; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MIPs; AQPs; TRP ion channels; water transport; themo sensor; Electrophiles;

    Abstract : Membrane proteins play several important roles in a cell. Among these proteins are aquaporins (AQPs) and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels that mediate water transport, temperature and noxious chemical sensation, respectively. READ MORE

  4. 17. Odour-mediated host preference in mosquitoes: the role of the maxillary palps in host recognition

    Author : Shahid Majeed; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The mechanisms underlying host preference in mosquitoes are ultimately a result of optimal foraging on currently available hosts and historical patterns of host availability. The proximate mechanisms are regulated by available host cues and the nature of the mosquitoes’ responses to these cues. READ MORE

  5. 18. Thermo- and chemosensitive properties of Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 ion channels

    Author : Lavanya Moparthi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TRP ion channels; TRPA1; ankyrin repeat domain; thermosensation; chemosensation; cold sensor; electrophiles; non-electrophiles; planar lipid bilayers; patch-clamp; fluorescence spectroscopy; mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : The ability to sense and accommodate to an ever-changing environment is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a large superfamily of cation conducting membrane proteins that function as molecular sensors in diverse sensory processes including perception of light, taste, smell, sound, touch and temperature.

  6. 19. The influence of urban livestock-keeping on the epidemiology of mosquito-borne zoonotic flaviviruses in Hanoi city of Vietnam

    Author : Long Pham-Thanh; Johanna Lindahl; Åke Lundkvist; Ulf Magnusson; Flavie Goutard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; urban livestock-keeping; mosquito borne zoonotic flaviviruses; knowledge and practices; vector abundance; risk factors; Hanoi; Vietnam;

    Abstract : In rapid urbanizing cities, the high density of livestock populations in close vicinity to humans, and high mosquito vector abundance have provided suitable conditions for transmission of mosquito-borne zoonotic flaviviruses, that cause several million cases of human disease annually. This thesis explores the urban livestock-keeping in Hanoi and its potential influence on the epidemiology of flavivirus infections. READ MORE

  7. 20. In Vitro Studies of Factors Potentially Affecting Plasmodium Falciparum Infection : (Heparin and Anti-P. falciparum Immune Responses)

    Author : Asli Kulane; Birthe Högh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum malaria is considered one of the major infectious diseases in humans, with regard to mortality and morbidity. Growing resistance of malaria to most anti-malaria drugs and of the Anopheles mosquitoes to insecticides have resulted in a global resurgence of the disease. READ MORE
