  2. 1. Functional and genetic studies in type 2 diabetes and obesity

    Author : Mohammed Hamza Z E Seed Ahmed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are highly prevalent disorders reflecting a complex interplay of genetics, epigenetics, and environment. They constitute serious health problems and lead to significant morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  4. 2. Bioanalysis using capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry : Applied on proteins, protein nanofibrils and polyvinyl alcohol microbubbles

    Author : Leila Josefsson; Åsa Emmer; Ulrika Nilsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; : amyloid; capillary electrophoresis; contrast agents; detection; human blood plasma; ionic liquids; mass spectrometry; microbubbles; polyvinyl alcohol microbubbles; protein nanofibrils; proteins; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The sequencing of the genome of various species, including the human species, have led to increased understanding about how a protein structure is generated, and how specific structures are related to the proteins’ functionality. In paper I and II of this thesis, the folding of proteins in vitro to form hierarchical nanostructures, which in vivo often have a pathological effect, have been studied. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on the regulation of the Napin napA promoter by ABI3, bZIP and bHLH transcription factors

    Author : Nathalie Martin; Lars Rask; Ines Ezcurra; Olof Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular biology; transcription gene regulation; plant seed maturation; seed storage protein; ABA; ABI3; bZIP; bHLH; Brassica napus; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The B3-domain transcription factor ABI3 is a major regulator of gene expression of seed maturation during Arabidopsis embryogenesis. The napA gene encodes for a Brassica napus 2S storage protein specifically expressed in the embryo during the early and mid-maturation phase (MAT program). READ MORE

  6. 4. SOD1 prions transmit templated aggregation and fatal ALS-like disease

    Author : Elaheh Ekhtiari Bidhendi; Thomas Brännström; Stefan L. Marklund; Peter M. Andersen; Inger Nennesmo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; SOD1; prion; neurodegeneration; strain; seeding; protein misfolding; protein aggregation; propagation; transgenic mice; Pathology; patologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult-onset fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons. The resulting paresis begins focally, usually in one muscle, and spreads contiguously, leading to muscle wasting, progressive paralysis and eventually death. READ MORE

  7. 5. Moringa seed and pumice as alternative natural materials for drinking water treatment

    Author : Kebreab Afwerki Ghebremichael; Bengt Hultman; Hallvard Ödegaard; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental technology; antimicrobial effects; coagulant protein; dual media filtration; ion exchange; Moringa oleifera; Miljöteknik; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Pumice and the Moringa oleifera (MO) seed were investigated as alternative natural materials for drinking water treatment based on problems identified at the Stretta Vaudetto water treatment plant in Eritrea. Lab and pilot scale studies showed that pumice was a suitable alternative material for dual media filtration. READ MORE
