  2. 1. Living biohybrid systems via in vivo polymerization of thiophene oligomers

    Author : Gwennaël Dufil; Eleni Stavrinidou; Daniel T Simon; David C. Martin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conducting polymers; Living tissue engineering; In vivo polymerization; Plant Biohybrids; Hydra polyps; Energy storage; Glucose sensor;

    Abstract : Life is the result of a multitude of electrical signals which drives our nervous system but also accomplishes a cascade of electrochemical reactions. In the 18th century, Lucia Galeazzi and Luigi Galvani got the idea to stimulate frog legs with electrodes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Exploiting Drosophila as a model system for studying anaplastic lymphoma kinase in vivo

    Author : Therese Eriksson; Ruth Palmer; Stefan Thor; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaplastic lymphoma kinase; Receptor tyrosine kinase; Jeb; neuroblastoma; actin polymerization; Wasp; Scar; Vrp1; Arp2 3; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) and an oncogene associated with several human diseases, but its normal function in humans and other vertebrates is unclear. Drosophila melanogaster has an ALK homolog, demonstrating that the RTK has been conserved throughout evolution. READ MORE

  5. 3. Quantitation of gluconeogenesis in humans

    Author : Karin Ekberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Gluconeogenesis; mass isotopomer distribution analysis; deuteratedwater; hexamethylenetetramine; splanchnic and renal glucose production;

    Abstract : Several methods have been introduced for estimating gluconeogenesis, but none provides a direct measurement without assumptions that condition the accuracy of the estimate. The aim of this work has been to develop a new method for quantitative studies of gluconeogenesis, applicable in humans. READ MORE

  6. 4. Coiled coil cytoskeleton in cell architecture and osmotic stress response in Streptomyces

    Author : Katsuya Fuchino; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coiled coil protein; Streptomyces coelicolor; polar growth; osmotic-stress response; turgor;

    Abstract : Coiled coil proteins emerge as important determinants of bacterial cellular organization. Several such proteins display properties characteristic to metazoan intermediate filament (IF) proteins, and are therefore designated bacterial IF-like proteins. READ MORE

  7. 5. Vascular smooth muscle mechanotransduction and plasticity-the role of microRNA, calcium signaling and actin polymerization

    Author : Karolina Turczynska; Kärlfysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PYK2; actin polymerization; calcium; microRNA; stretch;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cells residing in the blood vessel media are constantly exposed to mechanical forces exerted by the intraluminal pressure. The smooth muscle senses and adapts to mechanical forces by activation of multiple signaling pathways and cytoskeletal rearrangements. READ MORE
