  1. 16. Redox Regulation and Stress Responses - Studies in Bacillus subtilis

    Författare :Jonas Larsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; redox sensor; oxygen sensor; reactive nitrogen species; RNS; Biology; Biologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; virologi; mykologi; Bacillus subtilis; Rex; yjbI; ydiH; yjbH; redox regulation;

    Sammanfattning : Redox reactions are central to all organisms to sustain life. Both anabolic and catabolic metabolism depends on them. It is thus vital to sense and adjust the redox balance in the cell. One major factor affecting the redox status is the level of oxygen present. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Using affordable materials from metallurgical industries in Oxygen Carrier Aided Combustion and Chemical-Looping Combustion

    Författare :Felicia Eliasson Störner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Oxygen carriers; Ash interactions; Potassium interactions; Chemical-Looping Combustion; Oxygen Carrier Aided Combustion;

    Sammanfattning : Oxygen carriers are solid oxides of transition metals that can be used to convert fuel in the absence of gaseous oxygen in a process called Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC). The use of oxygen carriers makes it possible to produce undiluted CO2 without expensive gas separation. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Oxidant-induced cell death in lymphocytes: mechanisms of induction and resistance

    Författare :Fredrik Bergh Thorén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :reactive oxygen species; cell death; apoptosis; poly ADP-ribose polymerase-1; apoptosis-inducing factor; natural killer cells; phagocytes; dendritic cells;

    Sammanfattning : Reactive oxygen species (oxidants, oxygen radicals) produced by the phagocytic NADPH oxidase have pivotal roles in immunity. Patients lacking a functional NADPH oxidase suffer from chronic granulomatous disease, which is characterized by recurring bacterial infections and thus manifesting the importance of reactive oxygen species in host defense against bacteria.

  5. 19. Energy metabolism and angiogenesis in atherosclerosis and cancer

    Författare :Matias Ekstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Energy metabolism; Hypoxia; Reactive oxygen species; Intussusceptive angiogenesis;

    Sammanfattning : Energy metabolism requires supply of glucose and oxygen. In atherosclerotic plaques and cancer tumors, there are local areas with mismatch in demand and supply of oxygen and nutrients. The resulting cellular energy imbalance may promote energy failure and stimulation of angiogenesis. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Oxygen sensing in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Författare :Lina Zhao; Changchun Chen; Simon Tuck; Helena Edlund; Marc Pilon; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; C. elegans; acute hypoxia; G-protein; mitochondrial ROS; neuropeptide; GPCR;

    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
