6. Regulation of intracellular signaling events that modulate insulin action
Sammanfattning : Insulin regulates several mechanisms of fundamental importance to the body involving glucose, fat andprotein metabolism. Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue promotes an increaseddemand for insulin secretion. LÄS MER
7. Salt-inducible kinase 1 : a novel regulator within a cell sodium-sensing network
Sammanfattning : Na+, K+-ATPase (NK) is expressed in all animal cells and plays a crucial role in cellular ion homeostasis. The NK activity is tightly regulated by specific signaling networks that must be well controlled in time and space (at the plasma membrane or in the intracellular compartments) to guarantee the specificity of the physiological response.

8. Exploring Yeast as a Cell Factory for the Production of Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives
Sammanfattning : Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a promising cell factory for the sustainable utilization of renewable resources for the formation of products with commercial value. Among these, poly-3-D-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is an extensively studied biopolymer naturally accumulated in some bacteria and archaea species through the formation of carbon granules. LÄS MER
9. Signal transduction via ion fluxes : a cell imaging study with emphasis on calcium oscillations
Sammanfattning : Signal transduction via ion fluxes is of vital importance for all mammalian cells. Cells can exploit ion regulatory mechanisms to generate and transmit intracellular signals. Improvements in digital microscopic imaging technology have made it possible to explore micro-environments and complex intracellular machineries. LÄS MER
10. Saliva: a cell suspension of epithelial cells harboring the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and the growth factor EGF
Sammanfattning : Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health through its physical and chemical properties that provide various protective functions. One of its essential components is the human host defense peptide LL-37, which is produced by immune cells and epithelial cells, and participates in the first line of defense against pathogens.
