  2. 1. Estrogen in the development of esophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma

    Author : Evangelos Chandanos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to address the hypothesis that estrogen protects women against the development of esophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma (AC). These two cancers show a striking but totally unexplained male predominance in their incidence. READ MORE

  4. 2. Förster Resonance Energy Transfer - from single molecule spectroscopy to imaging

    Author : Evangelos Sisamakis; Jerker Widengren; Paul R Selvin; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FRET; FCS; single-molecule biophysics;

    Abstract : During the last fifteen years several methods have been developed for probing biomolecules (DNA, RNA, proteins) one at a time. Among these methods fluorescence spectroscopy and in particular its many implementations for monitoring Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), have attracted much interest. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Role of Gut Dysfunction and Nutritional Factors in Liver Cirrhosis

    Author : Evangelos Kalaitzakis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : liver cirrhosis; malnutrition; gastrointestinal symptoms; health-related quality of life; food intake; energy expenditure; gastric accommodation; gastric barostat; insulin resistance; leptin; ghrelin; intestinal permeability;

    Abstract : Malnutrition is a common finding in patients with liver cirrhosis. Malnutrition has been shown to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Its pathogenesis remains unclear but both poor dietary intake and increased energy expenditure have been reported. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is an important clinical problem in cirrhotics.

  6. 4. CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies and the role of astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Evangelos Konstantinidis; Martin Ingelsson; Anna Erlandsson; Vilmantas Giedraitis; Magnus Essand; Harald Steiner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; gene editing; CRISPR Cas9; amyloid-beta; astrocytes; neurons; iPSCs; electrophysiology;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Whereas the AD brain features plaques of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles of tau, the PD brain is characterized by Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites containing α-synuclein (αSyn). READ MORE

  7. 5. Structural and functional studies of biomolecules with NMR and CD spectroscopy

    Author : Evangelos Papadopoulos; Astrid Gräslund; Göran Karlsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NMR; protein structure; nouse Doppel; HTH; C-repressor; potassium channel; Biophysics; Biofysik; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Abstract : Experimentally derived biomolecular structures were determined by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The properties of selected peptides and proteins in solution and in membrane mimicking micelles were observed by circular Dichroism (CD), mass spectrometry (MS), and other spectroscopic techniques.
