(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2005)The female gametophyte of higher plants gives rise to the diploid embryo and the triploid endosperm which develop to produce the mature seed. Seed development is a concerted interplay of the embryo, endosperm and the ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Prostate cancer (PCa) and obesity are currently two of the most prevalent health problems in the western world. Some epidemiological studies suggest a connection between PCa and fat intake and obesity. In addition, androgens, ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Androgen ablation during the initial stages of prostate cancer causes regression of the tumor due to an increase in apoptosis and reduced cellular proliferation. However, some prostate cancer cells survive in the androgen ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis was to investigate the in vitro physiological and genetic responses of Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 to bile, bile salts and mucin, substances which would be encountered in the gastrointestinal ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Abstract The intention of this study was to identify and characterize signal pathways of the mesenchymal stem cell line hMSC-TERT which are being influenced by different mediators of inflammation. The purpose was also to ...
-
Expression studies and functional analysis of the genes IDL1, IDL2 and IDL3 in Arabidopsis thaliana (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Small peptides can act as signaling molecules that coordinate development, growth and differentiation. In interaction with a receptor the ligand can trigger downstream pathways which induce cellular responses or regulation ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Chromatin modulating proteins are thought to be involved in multimeric protein-protein interactions and contain characteristic amino-acid motifs like the SET domain. The SET domain proteins are believed to regulate gene ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2005)DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating plant development and is associated with the silencing of gene expression. Earlier studies of mammalian and vertebrate cells have shown that there are several ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)A subgroup of the universally conserved molecular chaperones, the chaperonins assist other proteins in folding or refolding in an ATP- dependent manner. First discovered in E. coli the best described member is the GroEL ...
-
(Master thesis / Hovedoppgave, 2005)ABSTRACT rbcL is a constitutively expressed gene in the Chlamydomonas chloroplast. The 5 untranslated region (5 UTR) is predicted to form an RNA secondary structure that might function in RNA stabilization. Earlier studies ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2005)Bakgrunn: c-Myb er en sentral regulatorisk transkripsjonsfaktor i hematopoietiske celler og regulerer mange målgener som er involvert i proliferasjon, differensiering og apoptose. For å kunne forklare c-Mybs biologi er det ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)It has previously been found that the sequence and conformation of a 10-nucleotide element in the 5´untranslated region (5´UTR) of rbcL mRNA are important for transcript stability. In this study two variants of a 20-nucleotide ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)T-cellespesifikt adapterprotein (TSAd), kodet av SH2D2A genet, blir uttrykt i aktiverte T-celler, NK-celler og i endotelceller. TSAd består hovedsakelig av et SH2-domene og et prolinrikt område og inneholder 10 tyrosiner ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)The elongation step of transcription is now recognized as a critical target for transcription regulation. An increasing number of elongation factors have been identified, and the regulatory mechanism of elongation seems ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)ABSTRACT Cell-to-cell communication is a vital characteristic of multicellular organisms, making it possible for cells to coordinate their physiological behaviour. Small peptides may act as signalling molecules that ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)In this study we have established a method for screening a collection of strains, from the Bacillus cereus group of bacteria, for biofilm formation, including soil isolates, strains from culture collections, reference ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in western industrialized countries and can be linked to a number of health risks such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Obesity ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)Sequence-specific double-stranded small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) may effectively silence gene expression via a mechanism called RNA interference (RNAi). The focus of this study was mainly identification of active siRNA ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)Cancer of the large bowel may be looked upon as a model of stepwise tumor development, as it has morphological distinct benign and malignant stages paralleling a preferential order of genetic and epigenetic aberrations. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2006)SUMMARY Blood coagulation may lead to venous thromboembolism (VTE). Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an important inhibitor of blood coagulation, however, the clinical significance or frequency of TFPI deficiency ...
