(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Aim: For isolation of exosomes, differential ultracentrifugation and an isolation kit from a major vendor were compared. Materials & methods: ‘Case study’ exosomes isolated from patient-derived cells from glioblastoma ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Histopathology is a widely used approach to evaluate effects of endocrine-active chemicals in the thyroid. However, effects at an ultrastructural level have hardly been examined in fish thyroids. In the present study, ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)Fransicella tularensis (F.t.) is a facultative intracellular pathogen that escapes from the phagosome into the host cell cytosol in order to survive and proliferate. F.t. subspecies tularensis and holartica are the causative ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Lysine methylation is an important and much-studied posttranslational modification of nuclear and cytosolic proteins but is present also in mitochondria. However, the responsible mitochondrial lysine-specific methyltransferases ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion, 2019)Linking ecology and evolution can be challenging, particularly as these fields evolve rapidly tracking technological and theoretical developments. Thus, it is important for practitioners of different biological disciplines ...

Understanding the role of RNA binding protein QKI in the regulation of H2A.Z variants in breast cancerRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)Breast cancer is the most predominant form of cancer in females worldwide. High throughput gene expression analysis has led to classification of breast cancer into distinct molecular subtypes (Parker et al., 2009; Perou ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The toxicity resulting from exposure to oil droplets in marine fish embryos and larvae is still subject for debate. The most detailed studies have investigated the effects of water-dissolved components of crude oil in water ...

Unexpected population fragmentation in an endangered seabird: the case of the Peruvian diving-petrel (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)In less than one century, the once-abundant Peruvian diving petrel has become the first endangered seabird of the Humboldt Current System (HCS). This small endemic petrel of the South American Pacific coast is now an ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)The emergence of multicellular animals was associated with an increase in phenotypic complexity and with the acquisition of spatial cell differentiation and embryonic development. Paradoxically, this phenotypic transition ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Transmembrane proteins in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are almost exclusively β-barrels. They are inserted into the outer membrane by a conserved and essential protein complex called the BAM (for β-barrel ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)Here, we demonstrate a contrasting effect of terrestrial coloured dissolved organic material on the secondary production of boreal nutrient poor lakes. Using fish yield from standardised brown trout gill-net catches as a ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Human hunters are described as ‘superpredators’ with a unique ecology. Chronic wasting disease among cervids and African swine fever among wild boar are emerging wildlife diseases in Europe, with huge economic and cultural ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Fish are the most diverse group of vertebrates, fulfil important ecological functions and are of significant economic interest for aquaculture and wild fisheries. Advances in DNA extraction methods, sequencing technologies ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2020)The focus of this thesis has been to elucidate the molecular basis for the specificity of an antibody termed 14F7 that exhibits potential for immunotherapy in cancer. When a healthy cell transforms into a cancerous cell, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)High evaporation rates in semi-arid to arid regions result in an increase in salinity that can exacerbate the effect of pollutants in water bodies.This study examines how groundwater drives pollution removal in wetlands, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Genes encoding the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) have been thought to play a vital role in the adaptive immune system in all vertebrates. The discovery that Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) has lost important components ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) was first found to be responsible for transporting antibodies of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) class from the mother to the fetus or neonate as well as for protecting IgG from intracellular ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Genetic affiliation, nuclear DNA content, and gamete functioning were examined in small salt marsh Fucus from three localities in western Ireland. Individuals with small and dioecious receptacles were found at all localities, ...
-
(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2019)In this work Ignacio Cuervo and co-workers have studied different aspects of the transcriptional regulating processes implicated in embryonic stem cell differentiation and in the regulation and dysregulation of cancer ...
