  1. 1. Zonal organization of the mouse olfactory systems

    Författare :Fredrik Gussing; Staffan Bohm; Anna Berghard; Diego Restrepo; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; olfactory; vomeronasal; gene expression; zone; organization; behavior; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Animals survey their environment for relevant odorous chemical compounds by means of the olfactory system. This system is in most vertebrates divided into a main and accessory olfactory system with two specialized neuroepithelia, the olfactory and the vomeronasal epithelium, respectively. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of retinoic acid in the mouse olfactory sensory systems

    Författare :Maria Hörnberg; Staffan Bohm; Finn Hallböök; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfactory; retinoic acid; neuron survival; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : A common characteristic in neurodegenerative diseases of the brain is death of specific neuronal populations. The lack of neuron proliferation and axon extension in most parts of the central nervous system leads to chronic loss of neurons in the case of injury or disease. LÄS MER

  4. 3. G Protein-Coupled Receptors; Discovery of New Human Members and Analyses of the Entire Repertoires in Human, Mouse and Rat

    Författare :David E. Gloriam; Helgi Schiöth; Robert Fredriksson; Darren Flower; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Bioinformatics; G protein-coupled receptor; GPCR; Bioinformatics; Evolution; Orphan; Rhodopsin; Adhesion; Phylogeny; Bioinformatik;

    Sammanfattning : G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are signal mediators that have a prominent role in the regulation of physiological processes and they make up the targets for 30-45% of all drugs. Papers I and II describe the discovery of new human GPCRs belonging to the Rhodopsin family, a family which contains many common drug targets. LÄS MER
