1. The Quantitative Expression of Transport Proteins SLC38A1-11 in Nerve Cell Development
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskapSammanfattning : Solute carriers consist of over 400 genes and 66 subfamilies and are the largest group of membrane bound transporters. They facilitate movement of many molecules through cells and organelles and are crucial for upholding many key functions in the human body. They are also involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases. LÄS MER
2. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionenSammanfattning : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. LÄS MER
3. Microvesicles in human reproduction and their role in Assisted Reproductive Techniques
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologiSammanfattning : Infertility is a problem that could be treated by using In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This procedure starts by increasing estrogen levels and then retrieving oocytes. However, studies have showed an increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and lung embolism that is correlated with the rising levels of estrogen. LÄS MER
4. Inhibited surface-thiols in Geobacter sulfurreducens : Mercury uptake and methylation rates
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionenSammanfattning : Due to daily human (anthropogenic) industrial activity, a lot of elemental mercury (Hg0) has been released to the atmosphere. The mercury can then spread globally, since mercury has the ability to remain atmospheric for up to a year. When mercury deposits, it can end up in anaerobic environments such as sediments and soil.

5. Designing the Superplant: Increasing Lipid Signaling for Enhanced Phosphorus Uptake
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/BeräkningskemiSammanfattning : Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. LÄS MER
