16. Calcium signaling in development and disease
Sammanfattning : The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a highly versatile signaling messenger involved in a diverse range of physiological processes such as gene transcription/expression, proliferation, differentiation and cell death. Intracellular Ca2+ signals are generated through a 10 000 – 20 000 fold gradient across the cell membrane and via release from the external milieu and/or internal Ca2+ stores. LÄS MER
17. New aspects of voltage-gated calcium channel regulation in pancreatic beta-cells - Relevance for insulin release and type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are essential transducers of cellular signals in many electrically excitable cells. In the pancreatic beta-cell they mediate controlled Ca2+ influx, which is the final trigger for Ca2+ dependent release (exocytosis) of the blood glucose lowering hormone insulin. LÄS MER
18. Biosynthesis of capsaicinoids by recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sammanfattning : Throughout history, people have used products from different microorganisms and plants for many medicinal and nutritional applications. Chilli peppers have been used for spicing up food, but also for their pharmacological properties. LÄS MER
19. Patch clamp and calcium studies on human colonic mucosal cells
Sammanfattning : Background: The main function of the large intestine is to fine-tune electrolyte and water balance. This is achieved through the consorted action of ion channels, transporters and pumps. Failures of this system can lead to diarrhoea. LÄS MER
20. On the mechanisms and physiological function of somatodendritic dopamine release in substantia nigra
Sammanfattning : Somatodendritic release of neurotransmitters is a neuronal function that is poorly understood in comparison with the more abundant terminal release. This study aimed at characterising somatodendritic dopamine release in substantia nigra in terms of release mechanisms and possible physiological function in motor control. LÄS MER
