  2. 1. Structural studies of proteins essential for fertilization

    Author : Elisa Dioguardi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Where do babies come from? Even though it sounds like a fairly obvious question, it took more than 200 years to discover that sperm, whose first observation dates back to the 17th century, can penetrate into the oocyte and fuse with it. Interestingly, this initial study was carried out in starfish, and since then, scientists have addressed the fascinating question of how gamete recognition functions using very different model systems.

  4. 2. A frizzled quest to dissect the molecular pharmacology of WNT signaling : from biology to signaling mechanism(s)

    Author : Elisa Arthofer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The wingless/int1 (WNT)/Frizzled (FZD) family of signal transduction pathways is highly conserved across species and controls essential physiological functions important for embryonic development, stem cell renewal, proliferation, differentiation, and cell polarity. Dysregulation of these signaling pathways leads to developmental abnormalities or other conditions such as inflammation, cancer, or neurological disorders. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development and maintenance of quality indicators in pheasants

    Author : Thomas Ohlsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PHA; ELISA; immunocompetence; carotenoid coloration; male ornaments; fluctuating asymmetry; growth; early development; Phasianus colchicus; egg size; sexual selection; Animal ecology; Djurekologi; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : Females often base their choice of mates on the expression, size or intensity, of male sexual ornaments. Indicator models of sexual selection assume that females assess male genetic quality through the expression of these secondary sexual characters. READ MORE

  6. 4. Compartmentalisation of the immune response in human skin : cross-talk between dendritic cells and T cells in healthy conditions and in psoriasis

    Author : Elisa Martini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human skin is highly compartmentalised and distinct subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells reside in epidermis and dermis. Alterations in the composition of DCs and T cells have been observed in psoriasis, a common cytokine-driven focal inflammatory skin disease. READ MORE

  7. 5. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis associated neuroinflammation : nationwide epidemiological studies on etiology, comorbidities, and treatment

    Author : Elisa Longinetti; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare but fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle paralysis, due to loss of upper and lower motor neurons. Signs of neuroinflammation have been reported in ALS, however it is still unknown whether neuroinflammation is a cause or a consequence of the motor neuron dysfunction. READ MORE
