  1. 21. A special role of Na,K-ATPaseand its molecular partners for astrocyte function

    Författare :Nina Illarionova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Astrocytes are glial cells that express several specific transporters and channels with specialized functions to maintain water, ion and neurotransmitter concentrations in order to preserve normal neuronal function. Astrocytes express two catalytic isoforms of plasma membrane enzyme Sodium Potassium-ATPase (Na,K-ATPase), that are essential for several of astrocyte’s functions. LÄS MER

  3. 22. The importance of Foxi1 expression in kidney and inner ear

    Författare :Sandra Rodrigo Blomqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Foxi1; intercalated cells; endolymphatic sac; acid base regulation;

    Sammanfattning : The forkhead (FOX) genes comprise a family of transcription factors involved in generegulation in both embryonic and adult tissue. Foxi1 is expressed in the kidney andthe developing inner ear. We examined the significance of Foxi1 in these two organsand explain the molecular mechanisms behind the phenotype seen in Foxi1 deficientmice. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Glucose and glycerol transport in adipocytes from a structural perspective

    Författare :Peng Huang; Medicinsk strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipocytes; glucose and glycerol metabolism; glucose transporters; aquaglyceroporins; glucose transporter 4; aquaglyceroporin 7; protein and protein interaction; structure; single particle cryo-EM;

    Sammanfattning : Adipocytes are crucial energy reservoirs to maintain metabolic homeostasis of glucose and lipids in the human body.Glucose transporters (GLUTs) and aquaporins (AQPs) play an important role in metabolic regulation of glucose andlipids in human adipocytes. LÄS MER

  5. 24. LXR and aromatase knock-out mice : animal models providing insight into human diseases

    Författare :Hyun-Jin Kim; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In our characterization of mouse strains carrying mutations in nuclear receptor and aromatase genes we have found phenotypes which resemble four human diseases: benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Sjögren s syndrome (SS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. The work in this thesis was designed to understand the roles of LXRalpha, LXRbeta and aromatase in development of these diseases and to investigate whether these animal models help us (1) to understand the etiology of the corresponding human diseases and (2) to develop new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of these diseases.

  7. 25. Developing a Porcine Model to Study the Glymphatic System

    Författare :Nicholas Bechet; Glia-Immune Interactions; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glymphatic system; cerebrospinal fluid; Porcine; in vivo imaging; amyloid beta; Alzheimer disease;

    Sammanfattning : The glymphatic system is a brain-wide solute clearance system that has developed in the brain to clear metabolic waste during sleep. This clearance is mediated by advective fluxes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) along perivascular spaces (PVS) and through the brain. LÄS MER
