16. Studies on astrocyte function : potential roles in brain water homeostasis and neuroprotection
Sammanfattning : Astrocytes are essential in brain homeostasis and function, including maintenance of water and ion balance. Astrocytes express the water channel aquaporin 4 (AQP4), implicated in both physiological functions and injury processes associated with brain edema, a common consequence of brain diseases. LÄS MER
17. The role of ion channels and intracellular metal ions in apoptosis of Xenopus oocytes
Sammanfattning : Apoptosis is one type of programmed cell death, important during tissue development and to maintain the tissue homeostasis. Apoptosis comprises a complex network of internal signaling pathways, and an important part of this signaling network is the action of voltage‐gated ion channels. LÄS MER
18. Characterization of ion transport proteins involved in chloroplast function from land plants and algae
Sammanfattning : Evolved around 2.4 billion years ago and even earlier, according to the new geochemical evidence, oxygenic photosynthesis is the crucial turning point in the history of our planet. LÄS MER
19. Studies on the plasticity of glutamate receptors and its role for neuronal calcium homeostasis
Sammanfattning : Calcium is the most important and versatile signaling molecule in the brain. Neurons are equipped with a variety of tools to utilize this simple ion in diverse ways. From controlling the millisecond fast neurotransmitter release, to reshaping neuronal structure and function. LÄS MER
20. Functional Relevance of Homeostatic Intrinsic Plasticity in Neurons and Networks
Sammanfattning : Maintaining the intrinsic excitability of neurons is crucial for stable brain activity. This can be achieved by the homeostatic regulation of membrane ion channel conductances, although it is not well understood how these processes influence broader aspects of neuron and network function.
