  2. 1. Discovery and Characterization of a Novel Microtubule Associated Protein Involved in Cellulose Biosynthesis

    Author : Alex Selvanayagam Rajangam; Tuula Teeri; Anne-Mie Emons; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MAP; unknown gene; cellulose biosynthesis; Populus; microtubule; DCB; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Cell walls are a distinct feature of plants and their chemical constituents, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, are economically valuable. Plant fibres rich in cellulose, which mainly resides in their cell wall, are traditionally used in making paper and textiles. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lysosomal network proteins as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative disease

    Author : Andrea Boman; Katarina Kågedal; Samuel Svensson; Alan Sabirsh; Per Svenningsson; Oskar Hansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebrospinal fluid CSF ; biomarkers; therapeutic targets; neurodegeneration; Alzheimer’s disease AD ; Parkinson’s disease PD ; Corticobasal degeneration CBD ; Progressive supraneuclear palsy PSP ; Lysosomes; Endosomes; Autophagy; LAMP-2; Lysozyme;

    Abstract : The pre-symptomatic stage of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) occurs several decades before the clinical onset. Changes in the lysosomal network, i.e. the autophagosomal, endosomal and lysosomal vesicular system, are among the first alterations observed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Profilin : From the Cell Edge into the Nucleus

    Author : Sara Sadi; Roger Karlsson; Maria Vartiainen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; profilin; actin; microfilament system; nucleus; SRF; MRTF; MAL; transcription; microtubules; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Internal and external signaling dependent changes in cell behavior are directly linked to force-generating remodeling of the actin microfilament system which is juxtaposed to the inside of the plasma membrane. This dynamic filament system is involved in many processes in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Polymorphic protein aggregation in tauopathies

    Author : Alexander Sandberg; Per Hammarström; Sofie Nyström; Wei-Feng Xue; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease(s) comprises one of the most common and costly neurodegenerative diseases. With a larger population and an increasing life expectancy, amyloid diseases (with age as one of the most prominent risk factors) will generate an even larger burden on healthcare. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of New Players in Planar Polarity Establishment in Arabidopsis

    Author : Stefano Pietra; Markus Grebe; Niko Geldner; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SABRE; planar polarity; CLASP; cell division orientation; microtubule cytoskeleton; actin; AIP1; patterning; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Coordinated polarity and differentiation of cells in the plane of a tissue layer are essential to the development of multicellular organisms. Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs and trichomes provide model systems to study the pathways that control planar polarity and cell fate specification in plants. READ MORE
