(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, 2008)The crucian carp (Carassius carassius) inhabits lakes and ponds in Northern Europe, where it is able to survive anoxia that often occurs for months during the long winter. Several physiological adaptations, including the ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2011)In addition to providing morphological support, the actin cytoskeleton is involved in cell motility, endocytosis and intracellular transport. Cytoskeletal interaction with the membrane is an essential part of these processes ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)Animals store most excess energy as fat in specialized cells called adipocytes which form the major part of adipose tissue. Since obesity, which has reached epidemic proportions in the last decades, is the result of excess ...

The Role of SNX8 in Retrograde Transport of Shiga Toxin : SNX8 facilitated transport of Shiga toxin is regulated by PKCdelta and p38alfaRestricted Access (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2010)Sorting nexin 8 (SNX8) belongs to the sorting nexin protein family. Members of this family are known to be involved in endocytosis and endosomal sorting. It was recently reported that SNX8 regulates retrograde transport ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2012)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common type of cancer, and at present the TNM staging system is the only tool in routine clinical use for predicting patient outcome and making treatment decisions. Nuclear expression of the ...
-
(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, 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 ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancer types, and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Cases can be divided into two main molecular phenotypes: those with chromosomal instability (CIN) and those with ...

Soluble and membrane bound peptide-MHC class II complexes as ligands for a specific T-cell receptor (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2007)Abstracts 1. Production of soluble peptide-MHC class II-Ig fusion proteins The aim of the study is to construct soluble variants of the murine MHC class II molecule I-Ed in complex with two tumor-specific peptides. ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2010)Fatty-acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is an enzyme that metabolizes several endocannabinoids and fatty acid amides. A functional variant of the gene encoding FAAH, which reduces the enzymatic activity, has been associated with ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2010)Six transmembrane protein of prostate 2 (STAMP2) is a six transmembrane domain protein in the STAMP/STEAP family. It is primarily found in the prostate, visceral adipose tissue, and bone marrow, and is overexpressed in ...
-
(Master thesis / Prosjektoppgave, 2012)Abstract Endonuclease V (EndoV) is highly conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. Endonuclease V in E. coli functions in repair of DNA damages caused by deamination of adenine and guanine in particular. E. coli EndoV ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)SAMMENDRAG Det går et fint skille mellom medfødt og ervervet immunitet og de to systemene samarbeider på mange områder. Anafylatoksinene C3a og C5a er viktige effektormolekyler som produseres av det medfødte immunforsvaret. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2008)The prion protein has been implicated in a number of neurodegenerative diseases of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) type. During disease development, the cellular prion protein (PrPC) undergoes a conformational ...
