    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cell cycle; protein turnover; trypanosomatids; polyamines; Ornithine decarboxylase; S-adenosylmethione decarboxylase; Parasitology human and animal ; Parasitologi människa och djur ;

    Abstract : The polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are essential for all forms of life. The polyamine biosynthetic pathway has been shown to be a potential target for drugs against various trypanosomal parasitic diseases. READ MORE

  4. 7. Bolivian tomatoes : genetic diversity, quality traits and value chains

    Author : Evelyn Elisabeth Villanueva Gutierrez; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Bolivia is considered one of the centres of origin and distribution of tomatoes, and wild relatives harbouring potential genetic diversity and quality traits are preserved in germplasm collections. Tomato is the most commonly grown vegetable world-wide, but in Bolivia, tomatoes are lowyielding and have short shelf-life. READ MORE

  5. 8. Transmethylation, Polyamines and Apoptosis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Author : Titti Ekegren; Håkan Askmark; Cecilia Gomes-Trolin; Sten-Magnus Aquilonius; Christopher Fowler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; neurodegeneration; transmethylation; polyamine; apoptosis; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relentlessly progressive disorder characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. The patients usually die within 3-5 years after onset. The full etiology of ALS is unknown and many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the neurodegeneration. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Background: The protective effect of breast milk against atopic manifestations in infancy, i. e. atopic eczema and food allergy, has been controversial for the last decades. Differences in the composition of human milk could explain these controversies. READ MORE

  7. 10. On the Regulation of Ornithine Decarboxylase

    Author : Eva Lövkvist Wallström; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysiologi; Physiology; Crithidia fasciculata.; polyamines; Ornithine decarboxylase; translational control; osmolarity; untranslated region; COS cells; CHO cells; transfection; protein turnover; PEST region;

    Abstract : The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine have been shown to be involved in cell growth and differentiation, and are considered to be crucial components of the living cell. The synthesis of polyamines in the cell is strictly regulated. READ MORE
