  2. 21. Determinants of ligand-induced nuclear receptor activation

    Author : Tove Östberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The nuclear receptors (NRs) constitute a highly conserved superfamily of transcription factors restricted to metazoans. In general, these receptors are regulated by small lipophilic molecules such as steroids, thyroid hormones and retinoids and play an important role in cellular regulation. READ MORE

  4. 22. Animal genomics – gene discovery and gene characterization

    Author : Rakan Naboulsi; Leif Andersson; Mårten Larsson; Susanne Kerje; Tosso Leeb; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis; SAT; Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; HT; Obese strain; transcriptional regulation; ZBED6; Igf2; miRNA; miR483; Whole-genome sequencing; RNA-seq; miRNA-seq;

    Abstract : This thesis involves two projects. The aim in the first project was to identify genomic regions associated with spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis (SAT), which is a hereditary autoimmune disease that affects the obese strain (OS) of chicken, an animal model for human Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT).

  5. 23. Notch receptor processing and CNS disease

    Author : Helena Karlström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : We have studied the relationship of Notch receptor processing and two diseases of the central nervous system: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL). The Notch receptor signalling pathway plays a crucial role during development in many different species for directing adjacent cells to adopt different fates. READ MORE

  6. 24. Identification of protease inhibitors against Flaviviruses and Coronaviruses

    Author : Dario Akaberi; Åke Lundkvist; Johan Lennerstrand; Josef D. Järhult; Ujjwal Neogi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antiviral research; protease inhibitors; flaviviruses; coronaviruses; ZIKV; TBEV; SARS-CoV-2;

    Abstract : Vector-borne flaviviruses and coronaviruses of zoonotic origins are important human pathogens and represent a serious threat to public health worldwide. Flaviviruses can be found on all continents, apart from Antarctica, where they are transmitted by arthropod vectors causing millions of infections every year. READ MORE

  7. 25. The zebrafish as a model to elucidate human diseases and development

    Author : Samantha Lin Chiou Lee; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the zebrafish as a model organism to illuminate our understanding of processes that orchestrate the progression of cancer metastasis and myogenesis. First, I describe the successful establishment of a cancer metastasis model in the zebrafish, specifically to study intravasation - one of the earliest steps in the metastatic cascade. READ MORE
