  3. 7. Roles of the transient receptor potential channels and the intracellular Ca2+ channels in Ca2+ signaling in the beta-cells

    Författare :Amanda Jabin Fågelskiöld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ca2 signaling;

    Sammanfattning : Previous studies from our group reported that pancreatic β-cells express ryanodine receptors (RyRs) that can mediate Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). The full consequences of the activation of RyRs on Ca2+ signaling in these cells, however, remained unclear. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Architecture and function of the insulin granule secretion machinery

    Författare :Peng Yin; Sebastian Barg; Herbert Gaisano; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Docking; Syntaxin-1A; Voltage-gated Ca2 Channels; Exocytosis; Type-2 Diabetes;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin is released into the blood stream to normalize elevated blood glucose, for example after a meal. The hormone is synthesized by β-cells in the endocrine pancreas, and stored in small vesicles, known as secretory granules, until required. When glucose is elevated, these granules undergo regulated exocytosis and thereby secrete the hormone. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Dendritic and axonal ion channels supporting neuronal integration : From pyramidal neurons to peripheral nociceptors

    Författare :Marcus Petersson; Erik Fransén; Theodore Cummins; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ion channels; computational modeling; simulations; dendrites; axons; TRP; hippocampus; C-fiber nociceptors; pain;

    Sammanfattning : The nervous system, including the brain, is a complex network with billions of complex neurons. Ion channels mediate the electrical signals that neurons use to integrate input and produce appropriate output, and could thus be thought of as key instruments in the neuronal orchestra. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Role of potassium channels in regulating neuronal activity

    Författare :Göran Klement; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Potassium channels; threshold dynamics; trafficking; hERG; SMOCs; excitability;

    Sammanfattning : The firing behaviour of excitable cells is fundamental for the information processing in multicellular organisms, varying from single spikes to different forms of repetitive firing. Of the many regulators, voltage gated potassium channels play a major role. In this thesis some aspects of the potassium channel regulation of firing are explored. LÄS MER
