  2. 1. Promoter Engineering for Cyanobacteria : An Essential Step

    Author : Hsin-Ho Huang; Peter Lindblad; James Golden; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; synthetic biology; cyanobacteria; promoter; engineering; TetR; DNA breathing dynamics; transcription; regulation;

    Abstract : Synthetic biology views a complex biological system as an ensemble in the hierarchy of parts, devices, systems, and networks. The practice of using engineering rules such as decoupling and standardization to understand, predict, and re-build novel biological functions from model-driven designed genetic circuits is emphasized.

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. TARP Promoter-Based Prostate Cancer Gene Therapy : From Development to Application

    Author : Wing-Shing Cheng; Magnus Essand; Thomas H. Tötterman; Cecilia Lundberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Genetic engineering; TARP; PPT; TSTA; promoter; gene regulation; prostate specificity; hormone- independent; adenovirus; prostate cancer; gene therapy; conditionally replicating adenovirus; Genteknik; Genetic engineering including functional genomics; Genteknik inkl. funktionsgenomik;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer is one leading cause of cancer-related death among men in Western countries. The standard therapies for localized prostate cancer include radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. Such measures are relatively effective in the short term, but many patients ultimately relapse. READ MORE

    Abstract : In times with elevated CO2 levels and global warming there is a need of finding alternatives to carbon based energy carriers. One such environmental friendly solution could be H2 produced by living organisms. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Cyanobacterial Uptake Hydrogenase : Regulation, Maturation and Function

    Author : Marie Holmqvist; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Kornél Kovács; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biohydrogen; CalA; Cyanobacteria; Hydrogenase; Maturation; Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133; Nostoc sp.

    Abstract : With accellerating global warming and pollution problems a change of energy regime is necessary. Solar energy offers a clean and unlimited energy source of enormous potential. Due to it’s intermittenet nature solar energy must be stored - ideally in the chemical bond of a carrier molecule. READ MORE
