(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2017)
-
(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 ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2019)
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)Rising organic charge in northern freshwaters is attributed to increasing levels of dissolved natural organic matter (DNOM) and changes in water chemistry. Organic charge concentration may be determined through charge ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Although wild ungulate populations are heavily monitored throughout Europe, we understand little of how parasites affect population dynamics, and there is no systematic, long-term monitoring of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)Epigenetikk er læren om arvelige mekanismer som regulerer aktiviteten til genene i ulike celler og vev som ikke involverer en endring i selve DNA-sekvensen. Om gener er skrudd av eller på er bestemt av epigenetiske merkelapper ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)The ability to accurately determine the original source of invading species offers several powerful applications in invasive species ecology and management and may enable important information on the invading species in ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2022)The microbiome is important for many functions in animals, for example digestion, skin health and communication. Microbiome and immune system interactions are especially interesting in relation to possible odour signalling. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2023)An understanding of the behavior and habitat preferences of Greater Flamingos is crucial for the conservation of this species. The population of these birds is intricately connected to variations in the limnic habitat and ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Studying the diet and feeding behavior of primates is essential to understanding their ecology and designing effective conservation plans. Despite decades of study on the hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) in lowland ...
