2. 21. Insect Diversity in Changing Landscapes

   Author : Markus Franzén; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; växtparasitologi; Entomologi; plant parasitology; Zoology; Zoologi; Entomology; Ekologi; Ecology; butterfly; bee; dispersal; extinction; Djurekologi; Animal ecology;

   Abstract : During recent decades, concern about the loss of biodiversity has increased. To change this negative trend there is an urgent need for effective conservation measures and there are ample evidence that conservation of organisms without an understanding of their ecology and behaviour is impossible.

4. 22. Calpain-Mediated Apoptosis in Motor Neurons of Adult Mouse Spinal Cord Slices

   Author : HamidReza Momeni; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Calpain; Djurfysiologi; Animal physiology; Spinal cord; Organ culture; Mouse; Motor neurons; Caspase; Calpain inhibitor; Calpain activity; Apoptosis;

   Abstract : Motor neuron degeneration is a critical phenomenon during spinal cord injuries and some neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms by which cell death is induced in these neurons are poorly understood. READ MORE

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agriculture development; food production; per capita food supply; consumptive water use; evaporation; transpiration; hydro-climatic variability; blue water resource; green water resource; irrigation; river depletion; river basin closure; adaptive water management; vegetal and animal foods; Jordbruksutveckling; matproduktion; per capita mattillgång; konsumerande vattenanvändning; evaporation; transpiration; hydroklimatisk variabilitet; blåvattenresurs; grönvattenresurs; bevattning; uttorkning av vattendrag; överintecknade avrinningsområden; anpassad vattenhantering; vegetarisk och animalisk föda.; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

   Abstract : Water constraints for humans and nature are gaining more and more public attention as a critical environmental dilemma that needs to be addressed. When aquifers and rivers are running dry, the debate refers to an ongoing “world water crisis”. READ MORE

6. 24. Functional studies of the ubiquitin proteasome system using GFP based reporters

   Author : Kristina Lindsten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Ubiquitin; proteasome; green fluorescent protein GFP ; degradation; inhibitor; Gly-Ala repeat; neurodegencration; poly-Gln aggregates.;

   Abstract : Ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation is of paramount importance for cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis and disposal of misfolded and aberrant proteins. Moreover the ubiquitin-proteasome system is the main producer of peptides used by major histocompatibility complex class 1 for antigen presentation. READ MORE

7. 25. Studies on dendritic cells in multiple sclerosis and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

   Author : Yu-Min Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in demyelination, axonal loss and, ultimately, formation of gliotic scar tissue in the brain and spinal cord. MS remains the major disabling neurological illness of young adults of North European origin. READ MORE
