  2. 16. The influence of lysozyme and oligothiophenes on amyloid-β toxicity in models of Alzheimer’s disease

    Author : Linnea Sandin; Katarina Kågedal; Ann-Christin Brorsson; Camilla Janefjord Warnqvist; Hanna Appelqvist; Susanne Frykman; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Apart from dominantly inherited mutations, age is the major risk factor and as life expectancy increases the prevalence for AD escalates dramatically. READ MORE

  4. 17. Effects of domestication related genes on behaviour, physiology and gene expression in chickens

    Author : Anna-Carin Karlsson; Per Jensen; Randi Oppermann Moe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Domestication, the process when animals adapt to captivity, tends to modify a whole array of traits towards what has been termed “the domesticated phenotype”, where the domesticated animal differs from its wild ancestor in morphology, physiology, development and behaviour. Physiological traits and behaviours are controlled by genes. READ MORE

  5. 18. Unraveling Mechanisms of Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes in Human Adipocytes : Role of extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and forkhead box protein 01 (FOX01)

    Author : Meenu Rohini Rajan; Peter Strålfors; Mats Söderström; Olga Göransson; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Type 2 Diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia primarily caused due to insulin resistance in insulin responsive tissues and insufficient production of insulin by the β-cells. Insulin resistance appears to develop first in the expanding adipose tissue during caloric surplus and affects other tissues like liver and muscle by ectopic fat accumulation. READ MORE

  6. 19. Human Adipocytes : Proteomic Approaches

    Author : Åsa Jufvas; Peter Strålfors; Alexander Vener; Maria V Turkina; Hans Jörnvall; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is characterized by increased levels of glucose in the blood originating from insulin resistance in insulin sensitive tissues and from reduced pancreatic insulin production. Around 400 million people in the world are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and the correlation with obesity is strong. READ MORE

  7. 20. Genetic mechanisms regulating proliferation and cell specification in the Drosophila embryonic CNS

    Author : Shahrzad Bahrampour; Stefan Thor; Jan-Ingvar Jönsson; Simon Sprecher; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : The central nervous system (CNS) consists of an enormous number of cells, and large cellular variance, integrated into an elaborate network. The CNS is the most complex animal organ, and therefore its establishment must be controlled by many different genetic programs. READ MORE
