  1. 21. The Human Pancreatic Islet Methylome and Its Role in Type 2 Diabetes

    Författare :Tasnim Dayeh; Diabetes - epigenetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CpG-SNP; glucagon secretion; insulin secretion; human pancreatic islets; DNA methylation; Epigenetics;

    Sammanfattning : Islet dysfunction is central to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Epigenetic modifications are essential for establishing and maintaining cell identity and function in normal circumstances. Exposure to adverse environmental factors may alter the epigenome, and result in changes of gene expression and the resulting phenotype. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Cancer proteogenomics : connecting genotype to molecular phenotype

    Författare :Ioannis Siavelis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The central dogma of molecular biology describes the one-way road from DNA to RNA and finally to protein. Yet, how this flow of information encoded in DNA as genes (genotype) is regulated in order to produce the observable traits of an individual (phenotype) remains unanswered. Recent advances in high-throughput data, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Nucleic Acids as Drug Targets - Influence of Platinum Complexes on Duplex Stability and Binding Kinetics

    Författare :Christopher Polonyi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anticancer drugs; platinum complexes; cisplatin; oxaliplatin; nucleic acid; RNA; DNA; duplex melting; thermodynamic stability; kinetics; non-coding RNA; miRNA; siRNA; wobble base pair; loop; BRCA1; mimic; luciferase assay;

    Sammanfattning : Gaining a detailed understanding of how human cells are affected by metal-based drugs is crucial, since these drugs have shown great potential in cancer treatment. Cisplatin is used to treat many different types of cancer, e.g. testicular, ovarian, melanoma, bladder, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, myelomas and lymphomas. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Bis-locked nucleic acids : a new tool for double helix invasion

    Författare :Sylvain Geny; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a macromolecule that contains the information for all living organisms to achieve important cellular processes such as growth and replication. DNA consists of two strands coiled around each other to form a double helix. LÄS MER

  7. 25. An RNA story, from chromatin to protein

    Författare :Davide Maria Trevisan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : RNA functions expand well over just coding for protein effectors. Non-coding RNAs oversee translation, RNA processing, and spatial organization of the cellular space, therefore participating in the regulation of almost any cellular process. To add a further layer of complexity, both coding and non-coding RNAs are extensively modified. LÄS MER
