  1. 1. Exploring gene expression responses of marine bacteria to environmental factors

    Author : Christofer Osbeck; Jarone Pinhassi; Michael Cunliffe; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Baltic Sea; dissolved organic matter; model bacteria; ocean acidification; organic pollutants; river loadings; transcriptomics; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Bacterioplankton are abundant in marine ecosystems, where they as “masters of transformation” of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are important for energy fluxes and biogeochemical cycles. However, the performance of bacteria in a changing marine environment influenced by anthropogenic activities is poorly understood. READ MORE

  2. 2. Studies on production and function of pulmonary nitric oxide

    Author : Christofer Adding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : adrenaline; adrenoceptors; beta-adrenoceptors; calcium; carbon dioxide; catecholamines; chemiluminescence; exhaled; gadolinium chloride; high frequency oscillatory ventilation; nitric oxide; pulmonary; pulmonary circulation; stretch; sympathoadrenal; veratrine;

    Abstract : Nitric oxide is involved in pulmonary vascular and bronchial regulation and appears to be of paramount importance in the adaptation of the pulmonary circulation at birth. Nitric oxide is present in exhaled gas. READ MORE

  3. 3. Molecular aspects of parathyroid tumorigenesis : with focus on parafibromin and the Wnt pathway

    Author : Christofer Juhlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) denotes the tumorous enlargement of one or several parathyroid glands and constitutes a common disorder, particularly pronounced among postmenopausal women. PHPT patients display hypercalcemia as a consequence of parathyroid hormone hypersecretion, and the symptomatology is habitually based on this metabolic aberrancy. READ MORE

  4. 4. Surface proteins of Finegoldia magna interacting with the human host

    Author : Christofer Karlsson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Finegoldia magna; Gram-positive anaerobic cocci; surface proteins; protease; LL-37; MIG CXCL9; Fibrinogen; adhesion; gene disruption; bacterial aggregation; basement membranes;

    Abstract : Finegoldia magna is a Gram-positive anaerobe and a member of the normal human microflora. This bacterium is also an opportunistic pathogen and isolated from ~10% of all anaerobic infections. Reoccurring taxonomical changes and the anaerobic growth have contributed to the neglect of F. magna. READ MORE

  5. 5. Molecular principles of protein stability and protein-protein interactions

    Author : Christofer Lendel; Per-Åke Nygren; Christopher M. Dobson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; affibody; binding thermodynamics; induced fit; molten globule; NMR spectroscopy; protein engineering; protein-protein interactions; protein stability; protein structure.; Structural biochemistry; Strukturbiokemi;

    Abstract : Proteins with highly specific binding properties constitute the basis for many important applications in biotechnology and medicine. Immunoglobulins have so far been the obvious choice but recent advances in protein engineering have provided several novel constructs that indeed challenge antibodies. READ MORE
