Neisseriaceae er en familie med Gram-negative bakterier som består av både patogene og ikke-patogene bakterier. De to viktigste sykdomsfremkallende er meningokokker (Neisseria meningitidis), som kan forårsake meningokokksykdom ...

Vascular endothelial cells present luminal chemokines that arrest rolling leukocytes by activating integrins. It appears that several chemokines must form higher-order oligomers to elicit proper in vivo effects, as mutants ...

In several papers, it has been argued that two migratory species, the pied and the collared flycatcher, Ficedula hypoleuca and F. albicollis, take clutch size of a resident bird, the great tit Parus major, into account ...

A new PhD-thesis at the University of Oslo have investigated how certain parasites of the genus Gyrodactylus have spread after the last ice age in Norwegian freshwater systems and how humans have affected the spread. ...

Objective: A major goal in systems neuroscience is to determine the causal relationship between neural activity and behavior. To this end, methods that combine monitoring neural activity, behavioral tracking, and targeted ...

Plant reproduction in the Arctic is challenging, and tight energy budgets, short growing season and the limited number of pollinators favour self-pollination. Self-pollination over time will, however, have a negative effect ...

The increasing technological efficiency of harvesting equipment has been identified as one of the main causes of overcapacity and overexploitation of natural resources. In this paper, a formal model is developed which ...

E3 ligases are critical checkpoints for protein ubiquitination, a signal that often results in protein sorting and degradation but has also been linked to regulation of transcription and DNA repair. In line with their key ...
