  2. 16. Dendrimer-mediated gene delivery: Effect of polymer structure on cellular response

    Author : Kristina Fant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gene therapy; DNA condensation; cationic polymers; toxicity; non-viral vector; drug delivery; polyplex; PAMAM dendrimers;

    Abstract : The delivery of nucleic acids to cells, in vitro and in vivo, is becoming a realistic approach for intervention with gene expression at a molecular level. It can be used to repair malfunctioning genes or to introduce new functionalities, with the most important application being clinical treatment of human diseases. READ MORE

  4. 17. Computational Problems in Modeling Evolution and Inferring Gene Families

    Author : Mehmood Alam Khan; Lars Arvestad; Jens Lagergren; Christophe Dessimoz; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evolution; Phylogenetics; Lateral Gene Transfer; Gene Families; Clustering; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Over the last few decades, phylogenetics has emerged as a very promising field, facilitating a comparative framework to explain the genetic relationships among all the living organisms on earth. These genetic relationships are typically represented by a bifurcating phylogenetic tree — the tree of life. READ MORE

  5. 18. The Carboxyl Ester Lipase Gene. Organization, Evolution and Transcriptional Regulation in Exocrine Pancreas and Mammary Gland

    Author : Ulf Lidberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NF-1; pseudogene; evolution; pancreas; carboxyl ester lipase; regulation; duplication; promoter; enhancer; locus; gene structure; mammary gland;

    Abstract : The carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is an important enzyme for the intestinal absorption of dietary lipids. In humans the gene is highly expressed in exocrine pancreas and in the lactating mammary gland. It is secreted in an inactive form and becomes activated by bile salts in the intestine. READ MORE

  6. 19. Structure and organization of genes for the predominant seminal plasma proteins semenogelin I, semenogelin II and beta-microseminoprotein

    Author : Magnus Ulvsbäck; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical chemistry; transglutaminase substrate; semen coagulation; prostate; seminal vesicles; seminal plasma; rhesus monkey; human; evolution; nucleic acid sequence; cDNA; gene; semenogelin; b-microseminoprotein; Klinisk kemi; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

    Abstract : In man, the predominant proteins in the seminal plasma include semenogelin I, semenogelin II and b-microseminoprotein (MSP). Semenogelin I and II are both synthesized in the seminal vesicles and are the backbone of the gel formed upon semen coagulation. MSP is synthesized in the prostate, but its role has not yet been defined. READ MORE
