1. Regulation of energy balance in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sammanfattning : Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has been accumulated. It is most commonly caused by imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure (lack of physical activity and lower metabolic rate, etc.). LÄS MER
2. Oxygen sensing in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sammanfattning : Sufficient supply of oxygen (O2) to tissue is essential for survival of aerobicanimals. In mammals, there are constant homeostatic regulation mechanisms that act on different time scales to maintain optimal O2 delivery to tissues. The ability to detect and respond to acute oxygen shortages is indispensable to aerobic life. LÄS MER
3. The control of growth and metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sammanfattning : The control of growth is a poorly understood aspect of animal development. This thesis focuses on body size regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans, and in particular, how worms grow to a certain size. In C. elegans, a key regulator of size is the TGFβ homologue DBL-1. LÄS MER
4. Studies on lipid transport and extracellular vesicle production in Caenorhabditis elegans ciliated neurons
Sammanfattning : The cilium is a protrusion of cell membrane. Both the protein and lipid contents of cilia are different from those of other parts of the cell membrane. While the transport of proteins into and out of cilia has been intensively studied, much less is known about how the lipid content of ciliary membranes is regulated. LÄS MER
5. Adaptation and plasticity within and across generations
Sammanfattning : The environment is seldom stable but often changes from one state to another and in order to survive and reproduce organisms need to respond to those changes. If the change is fast, genetic adaptations may not evolve quickly enough and organisms must adopt other strategies, such as phenotypic plasticity. LÄS MER
