  1. 21. The cellular processing of the endocannabinoid anandamide and its pharmacological manipulation

    Författare :Lina Thors; Christopher J Fowler; David A Kendall; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endocannabinoid; anandamide; cellular processing; pain; flavonoids; fatty acid amide hydrolase; Pharmacology; Farmakologi; medicinsk farmakologi; Medical Pharmacology;

    Sammanfattning : Anandamide (arachidonoyl ethanolamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) exert most of their actions by binding to cannabinoid receptors. The effects of the endocannabinoids are short-lived due to rapid cellular accumulation and metabolism, for AEA, primarily by the enzymes fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). LÄS MER

  3. 22. Novel insights into dishevelled and frizzled function

    Författare :Jana Valnohova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The formation of a multicellular body during embryonic development is one of the most fascinating processes in biology. The cells are in constant communication and must be precisely coordinated. Several essential signalling pathways have been identified in cell-to-cell signal transmission. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Removal of endocrine-disrupting compounds from wastewater using molecular imprinting

    Författare :Mathieu Le Noir; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; molecular imprinting; Endocrine-disrupting compounds; wastewater; macroporous gel; trace contaminants;

    Sammanfattning : Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as hormones and certain pharmaceuticals (i.e. birth control pills, oestrogen replacement products and other steroids) can interfere with the regulatory systems of humans and wildlife. Many of these compounds are excreted by humans and released with sewage. LÄS MER

  5. 24. The role of platelets in whole blood coagulation

    Författare :Sofia Ramström; Nils Olav Solum; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The body's first line of defence against bleeding is the platelets, small cell fragments with multiple roles in the coagulation process. The platelets are patrolling our blood vessels, looking for damage in the endothelial cell layer, to which they attach and transform, recruit more platelets and assemble the plasma coagulation proteases on their surfaces.

  7. 25. Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Beads-Synthesis, Evaluation and Applications

    Författare :Tongchang Zhou; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :Molecularly imprinted polymer beads; Pickering emulsion; RAFT; water-compatible;

    Sammanfattning : Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are artificial receptors designed for the selective recognition of template molecules. These polymers have been applied in analytical separations, as chemical sensors and in drug delivery system due to their low cost and high stability. LÄS MER
