  1. 16. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – A Study in Transgenic Mice

    Författare :Hanna Wootz; Dan Lindholm; Håkan Aldskogius; Christopher Fowler; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Neurosciences; ALS; Caspase; Caspase-12; Cathepsin; Cystatin; ER stress; Motor neuron; Neurodegeneration; Sod1; XIAP; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with an incidence of 1.5-2.7/100000 people/year. Today there is no cure for the disease and only symptomatic treatments are available. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Biophysical chemistry of the ALS-associated protein SOD1 : Implications for folding, aggregation and in-cell behaviour

    Författare :Fan Yang; Mikael Oliveberg; Per Jemth; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SOD1 ALS folding in-cell NMR aggregation; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Biophysical chemistry deals with the structural behavior, properties and molecular function of biological macromolecules. A long-standing challenge is here to establish how these macromolecular features change upon transfer from simplified conditions in vitro to the crowded and molecularly complex environment of live cells.

  4. 18. Zinc in folding and misfolding of SOD1 : Implications for ALS

    Författare :Lina Leinartaité; Mikael Oliveberg; Bengt-Harald Jonsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein stability; protein misfolding; local unfolding; metal binding; energy landscape; protein disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease causing degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Most ALS cases are sporadic; only 6% are associated with mutations in Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). LÄS MER

  5. 19. Superoxide dismutase 1 and cataract

    Författare :Eva Olofsson; Anders Behndig; Stefan Marklund; Marjorie Lou; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cataract; diabetes mellitus; nitric oxide; superoxide; superoxide dismutase; SOD1 null mice; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik; oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology;

    Sammanfattning : Light and oxygen generate harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the lens, causing biochemical changes that gradually disarrange the lens fibres resulting in light scattering and loss of transparency. In the healthy eye, this chronic exposure to oxidative stress may lead to age-related cataract. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Misfolded superoxide dismutase-1 in sporadic and familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Författare :Karin Forsberg; Thomas Brännström; Irina Alafuzoff; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; SOD-1 motor neuron; protein misfolding; intranuclear; antibodies; CNS; brain; patologi; Pathology;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative syndrome of unknown etiology that most commonly affects people in middle and high age. The hallmark of ALS is a progressive and simultaneous loss of upper and lower motor neurons in the central nervous system that leads to a progressive muscle atrophy, paralysis and death usually by respiratory failure.
