(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide, trigger biodegradation of polymer-based nanoparticles (NPs) bearing pinacol-type boronic ester groups. These NPs may selectively release ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Degradation-specific processes and variation in laboratory protocols can bias the DNA sequence composition from samples of ancient or historic origin. Here, we identify a novel artifact in sequences from historic samples ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Dinoflagellates are microscopic aquatic eukaryotes with huge genomes and an unusual cell regulation. For example, most genes are present in numerous copies and all copies seem to be obligatorily transcribed. The consequence ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)The lack of recovery in Norwegian populations of the kelp Saccharina latissima (Linnaeus) C. E. Lane, C. Mayes, Druehl & G. W. Saunders after a large-scale disturbance that occurred sometime between the late 1990s and early ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)Sarcomas arise in patients of all ages and account for approximately 1% of new cancer diagnoses in Norway and the United States. Osteosarcoma is a subtype of sarcoma that typically affects children and adolescents and ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a specialized form of extracellular matrix in the CNS, embodying parvalbumin expressing inhibitory neurons. The PNN assembles towards the end of the period of heightened plasticity, the critical ...
-
Perineuronal nets in the entorhinal cortex and their role for the hippocampal place codeRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)The reciprocally connected entorhinal cortex and hippocampal formation (HF) are pivotal in spatial navigation and episodic memory. Principal neurons in these regions show spatially modulated activity with grid cells in the ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objective Earlier studies documenting the effect of candidate genes on recovery have seldom taken into consideration the impact of emotional distress. Thus, we aimed to assess the modifying effect of emotional ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)This thesis investigates the relationship between personality traits and natal dispersal for both sexes of the great tit Parus major in a population close to Oslo, Norway. Contrary to previous studies which focused only ...
-
(Master thesis / Group thesis / Masteroppgave / Gruppeoppgave, 2018)Per- og polyfluorerte alkylstoffer (PFAS) har blitt funnet i blodprøver fra sørjo (Catharacta maccormicki) tatt i løpet av hekkesesongen i kolonien i Svarthamaren (Dronning Mauds land, Antarktis). For å undersøke om disse ...
-
Phage display engineered T cell receptors as tools for the study of tumor peptide–MHC interactions (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Cancer immunotherapy has finally come of age, demonstrated by recent progress in strategies that engage the endogenous adaptive immune response in tumor killing. Occasionally, significant and durable tumor regression has ...

(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Macular edema due to neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetes or retinal vein occlusion can cause central vision loss. Intravitreal treatment with antibody-based biopharmaceutical compounds designed to ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)Chronic stress is the principal component to many human and animal disorders. As stress responses are remarkably conserved between mammals and teleosts, the use of teleosts in comparative models has been a useful tool in ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Current evidence of phenological responses to recent climate change is substantially biased towards northern hemisphere temperate regions. Given regional differences in climate change, shifts in phenology will not be uniform ...
