21. Evolution and Pharmacology of Neuropeptide Y Receptors, Implications for vertebrate genome duplications
Sammanfattning : The Y receptors comprise a family of evolutionarily related receptors belonging to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Their natural ligands are in mammals neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). LÄS MER
22. Functional study of hemolymph coagulation in Drosophila larvae
Sammanfattning : Many pathogen infections in nature are accompanied by injury and subsequent coagulation. Despite the contribution of hemolymph coagulation to wound sealing, little is known about its immune function. LÄS MER
23. Chemokines and their role in dopaminergic development
Sammanfattning : The main pathological hallmark in Parkinson s disease (PD) is the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), affecting movements such as walking, talking and writing. Today, there is no cure available for PD and existing treatments only provide symptomatic relief, but the prospect of using stem cell based cell replacement therapies for patients with PD have provided new optimism.

24. Deciphering molecular mechanisms in the evolution of new functions
Sammanfattning : The evolution of new genes and functions is considered to be a major contributor to biological diversity in organisms. Through de novo origination, “duplication and divergence”, and horizontal gene transfer, organisms can acquire new genetic material that can evolve to perform novel functions. LÄS MER
25. Cold Acclimation : Dissecting the plant low temperature signaling pathway using functional genomics
Sammanfattning : The physiological process of cold acclimation protects plants native to the temperate regions of the world from the deleterious effects of low and freezing temperatures. This is achieved by a series of transcriptional, regulatory, and metabolic changes that enable continued growth and survival. Within minutes of exposure to temperatures below ca. LÄS MER
