  2. 1. Free fatty acids and insulin hypersecretion studied in human islets

    Author : Jing Cen; Peter Bergsten; Miriam Cnop; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; free fatty acids; palmitate; human islets; EndoC-βH1 cells; metformin; sorcin; insulin secretion; mitochondrial respiration; ER stress; human transcriptome array; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Free fatty acid (FFA) levels are increased in many obese subjects. High FFA levels stimulate the pancreatic beta-cells but have negative long-term effects. In obese children with high FFA levels circulating insulin concentration is high early in life but decline with age precipitating the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). READ MORE

  4. 2. Using peptide-phage display to capture conditional motif-based interactions

    Author : Gustav Sundell; Ylva Ivarsson; Per Jemth; Attila Reményi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein-protein interaction; PDZ domain; phosphorylation; peptide-phage display; ProP-PD; phospho-peptide; phosphomimetic substitution; Scribble; NMR; DLG1; PTM; affiinity; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the world of conditional protein-protein interactions using combinatorial peptide-phage display and proteomic peptide-phage display (ProP-PD). Large parts of proteins in the human proteome do not fold in to well-defined structures instead they are intrinsically disordered. READ MORE
