  1. 21. Characterization of specific domains of the cellulose and chitin synthases from pathogenic oomycetes

    Författare :Christian Brown; Vincent Bulone; Carol Munro; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose biosynthesis; chitin biosynthesis; cellulose synthase genes; chitin synthase genes; oomycetes; Saprolegnia monoica; Microtubule Interacting and Trafficking MIT domain; Pleckstrin Homology PH domain; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : Some oomycetes species are severe pathogens of fish or crops. As such, they are responsible for important losses in the aquaculture industry as well as in agriculture. Saprolegnia parasitica is a major concern in aquaculture as there is currently no method available for controlling the diseases caused by this microorganism. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinases in the moss Physcomitrella patens

    Författare :Laura Saavedra; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate, [PtdIns(4,5)P2], is a signalling lipid which is involved in many important processes in animal cells such as cytoskeleton organization, intracellular vesicular trafficking, secretion, cell motility, regulation of ion channels, and nuclear signalling pathways. In contrast to the animal field, much less is known about the roles of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and its synthesizing enzyme, phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase (PtdInsP kinase), in plants. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Regulation of Attachment and Early Intracellular Development of Chlamydia trachomatis in Eucaryotic Cells

    Författare :Meytham Majeed; Martin Lindberg; Östergötlands Läns Landsting; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The obligate intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis , a common human pathogen, causing different diseases in both males and females, as well as in infants born to infected mothers. Occasionally, these diseases involve serious complications, such as blindness and infertility. C. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Acute inflammation on model biomaterial surfaces : studies on proteins, neutrophils and platelets

    Författare :Jonas Wetterö; Ulf Sjöbring; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Although most biomedical devices are non-toxic, disturbed acute and chronic inflammation and the lack of integration in tissues is a concern. At the time of biomaterial insertion, protein adsorption onto material surfaces precedes cell adhesion and is believed to alter unfavorably the acute inflammatory response and the subsequent tissue healing.

  7. 25. Characterization of proteins involved in differentiation and apoptosis of human leukemia and epithelial cancer cells

    Författare :Veronika Viktorija Borutinskaite; Karl Eric Magnusson; Ruta Navakauskiene; Tor Olofsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; leukemia; histone deacetylase inhibitors; retinoic acid; differentiation; apoptosis; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Today, cancer is understood as an epigenetic as well as a genetic disease. The main epigenetic hallmarks of the cancer cell are DNA methylation and histone modifications. The latter changes may be an optimal target for novel anticancer agents. LÄS MER
