1. Thioredoxins and gene regulation in the Drosophila germline
Abstract : Spermatogenesen är i många organismer en av de mest dramatiska förvandlingar som en cell kan genomgå – en vanlig, rund, diploid cell omvandlas till en nålformad, haploid cell med ett tätt packat cellmaskineri. I bananfluga, Drosophila melanogaster, innebär denna process flera karaktäristiska stadier. READ MORE

2. The chloroplast lumen : New insights into thiol redox regulation and functions of lumenal proteins
Abstract : In higher plants oxygenic photosynthesis primarily takes place in the chloroplasts of leaves. Within the chloroplasts is an intricate membrane system, the thylakoid membrane, which is the site of light harvesting and photosynthetic electron transport. READ MORE

3. Thioredoxin-1 in Alzheimer disease
Abstract : Oxidative stress is one of the earliest signs in Alzheimer Disease (AD) brain. In order to protect themselves against oxidative stress, neurons use antioxidants as a defense mechanism. Such an antioxidant is Thioredoxin-1 (Trx1). Previous studies have shown that the levels of Trx1 are reduced in the brains of AD patients. READ MORE

4. Selenium in mammalian thioredoxin reductase
Abstract : Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is a major enzyme in regulating intracellular redox status. The enzyme from several mammalian tissues has been purified, showing higher molecular weight and a much broader substrate specificity than E. coli TrxR, but the structural basis of these properties remained unknown.

5. Regulation of growth, differentiation and survival of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
Abstract : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia of B cell type (B-CLL) is the most commonform of leukemia in the Western countries. The signals regulating theexpansion of the B-CLL clone in vivo is yet far from being fully understood. READ MORE
