(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2020)The presence of microplastics in the marine environment is an emerging concern for marine life. This study investigated the presence of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) particles (20-25 μm) in the gills, intestinal lumen, ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Prolonged exposure to bullying behaviors may give rise to symptoms such as anxiety, depression and chronic pain. Earlier data suggest that these symptoms often are associated with stress-induced low-grade systemic inflammation. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2023)Natural killer (NK) cells in the human body play a critical role in immunosurveillance and the control of cancer metastasis, mainly due to their capacity to respond spontaneously to targets without the need for prior antigen ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)In this thesis I present new data on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) from one of the earliest diverging lineages in the animal kingdom. The ultimate motivation for this work was to understand how unicellular eukaryotes ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)RNA pyrophosphohydrolase (RppH) catalyzes the removal of pyrophosphate from 5' triphosphorylated RNAs thereby initiating RNA degradation. The enzyme has originally been identified in bacteria but homologs are present in ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)We report a profound upregulation of most egln paralog mRNA levels in anoxia and upon reoxygenation, with egln3ii showing the largest, a 17-fold increase, and highest relative mRNA abundance. The relative abundance of ...

(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)Ectoine is a small compound synthesized in the cytoplasm of halophilic and halotolerant bacteria in response to salt stress. The compound has been found to behave as a compatible solute counterweighing osmotic imbalance ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2014)The goal of this work was to express the three enzymes that catalyse the synthesis of ectoine (1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidine carboxylic acid) in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Ectoine is an amino ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Albumin has a serum half-life of 3 weeks in humans. This feature can be used to improve the pharmacokinetics of shorter-lived biologics. For instance, an albumin-binding domain (ABD) can be used to recruit albumin. A ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)A major challenge for the therapeutic use of many peptides and proteins is their short circulatory half-life. Albumin has an extended serum half-life of 3 weeks because of its size and FcRn-mediated recycling that prevents ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)1. Research into global change ecology is motivated by the need to understand the role of humans in changing biotic systems. Mechanistic understanding of ecological responses requires the separation of different climatic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Differential change in the phenology of predators and prey is a potentially important climate-mediated mechanism influencing populations. The match-mismatch hypothesis describes the effect of predator-prey population ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hybridization can result in novel allelic combinations which can impact the hybrid phenotype through changes in gene expression. While misexpression in F1 hybrids is well documented, how gene expression evolves in stabilized ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract Identification of conservation priorities is essential for conservation planning, especially as the biodiversity crisis develops. We aimed to support conservation prioritisation by addressing knowledge gaps for ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Avian eggshell membrane (ESM) is a natural biomaterial that has been used as an alternative natural bandage on burned and cut skin injuries for >400 years in Asian countries, and is available in large quantities from egg ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Without oxygen, most vertebrates die within minutes as they cannot meet cellular energy demands with anaerobic metabolism. However, fish of the genus Carassius (crucian carp and goldfish) have evolved a specialized metabolic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)A limited number of human cells can fuse to form multinucleated syncytia. In the differentiation of human placenta, mononuclear cytotrophoblasts fuse to form an endocrinologically active, non-proliferative, multinucleated ...
