  2. 1. Mathematical Modelling of Cerebral Metabolism : From Ion Channels to Metabolic Fluxes

    Author : Nicolas Sundqvist; Gunnar Cedersund; Maria Engström; Roland Nilsson; Sebastian Sten; João Duarte; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The brain is the most metabolically active organ in the human body and therefore rely on a continuous supply of oxygen and glucose. Neuronal stimulation in specific regions of the leads to the firing of action potentials, a process facilitated by voltage-gated ion channels in the neurons’ cell membranes. READ MORE

  4. 2. In silico analysis of microbial communities through constraint-based metabolic modelling

    Author : Parizad Babaei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fermented food production; metagenomics; genome-scale metabolic model; community modelling; malnourishment; Microbial community; systems biology; lactic acid bacteria; gut microbiota; uniform randomised sampling;

    Abstract : Microbial communities are involved in many vital biological processes from elemental cycles to sustaining human health. The bacterial assemblages are remarkably under-studied as they are reluctant to grow in the laboratory conditions. READ MORE

  5. 3. On metabolic networks and multi-omics integration

    Author : Rasmus Ågren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; succinate; genome-scale metabolic model; metabolic engineering; systems biology; penicillin; NASH; flux balance analysis; metabolism; cancer; reconstruction;

    Abstract : Cellular metabolism is a highly complex chemical system, involving thousands of interacting metabolites and reactions. The traditional approach to understanding metabolism has been that of reductionism; by isolating and carefully measuring the involved components, the goal has been to understand the whole as the sum of its parts.

  6. 4. Cytokines in Metabolic Functions

    Author : Anna Benrick; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : IL-1; IL-6; LIF; obesity; fat mass; energy expenditure; hypothalamus; gp130 SNP; myocardial infarction;

    Abstract : During infections, circulating cytokines are largely produced by immune cells. In healthy obese individuals, large parts of these circulating cytokines are produced in adipose tissue, for instance by macrophages that have accumulated there. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dissecting the Microenvironment of Urothelial Bladder Cancer : Therapy, Modelling and Biomarkers

    Author : Iliana Kyriaki Kerzeli; Sara Mangsbo; Tania de Gruijl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immuno-oncology; Tumor immunology; MALT1 inhibition; Urothelial bladder cancer; Tumor microenvironment; Immunologi; Immunology; Oncology; Onkologi; Urologi; Urology;

    Abstract : The complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) impacts therapy responses and the survival of cancer patients. The scope of this thesis is to study the effects of immune modulation on tumor-infiltrating leukocytes, and to explore the TME of urothelial cancer to provide the research society with new knowledge and potential therapeutic targets.
