Inferring genetic connectivity in real populations, exemplified by coastal and oceanic Atlantic cod (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Genetic data are commonly used to estimate connectivity between putative populations, but translating them to demographic dispersal rates is complicated. Theoretical equations that infer a migration rate based on the genetic ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Inference of population and species histories and population stratification using genetic data is important for discriminating between different speciation scenarios and for correct interpretation ...

Inflammation and ER stress differentially regulate STAMP2 expression and localization in adipocytes (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Chronic ER stress and dysfunction is a hallmark of obesity and a critical contributor to metaflammation, abnormal hormone action and altered substrate metabolism in metabolic tissues, such as liver and adipocytes. ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Pain often persists in patients with an inflammatory disease, even when inflammation has subsided. The molecular mechanisms leading to this failure in pain resolution and the transition to chronic pain are poorly understood. ...
-
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2015)Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are promising in a wide variety of biomedical applications. However, there are several indications that AuNPs may be toxic and that particle ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2016)Earlier studies suggest that lumbar radicular pain following disc herniation may be associated with a local or systemic inflammatory process. In the present study, we investigated the serum inflammatory protein profile of ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)1. Many northern freshwaters are currently experiencing a pronounced ‘browning’, that is an increase in terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Chromophoric DOC offers protection against photodamage by absorbing ...

The influence of food access on spermatophore production in the pelagic copepod, Temora longicornis (Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2013)In studies on reproductive ecology of pelagic copepods, the role of males is often neglected and male reproductive investment is not well understood. Lately there has been an increasing interest in the topic and it has ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)Heme c is characterized by its covalent attachment to a polypeptide. The attachment is typically to a CXXCH motif in which the two Cys form thioether bonds with the heme, “X” can be any amino acid other than Cys, and the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)The survival of fish eggs and larvae, and therefore recruitment success, can be critically affected by transport in ocean currents. Combining a model of early‐life stage dispersal with statistical stock–recruitment models, ...

(Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2022)Being exposed to psychosocial stress activates biological processes that is normally self-regulating. However, if this self-regulation fails it might have consequences. In this thesis it was shown that abusive supervision ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)Targeting the G2/M checkpoint mediator WEE1 has been explored as a novel treatment strategy in ovarian cancer, but mechanisms underlying its efficacy and resistance remains to be understood. Here, it is demonstrated that ...

-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)Recent studies have demonstrated that preen oil acts to reduce or eliminate feather‐associated bacteria. The mechanisms underlying this antibacterial activity, however, are incompletely understood. In addition to the ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / SubmittedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are a subset of a larger protein family called the type V secretion systems. They are localized on the cell surface of Gram‐negative bacteria, function as mediators of attachment ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)Abstract To elucidate the genomic traits of ecological diversification in the Hymenochaetales, we sequenced 15 new genomes, with attention to ectomycorrhizal (EcM) Coltricia species. Together with published data, ...

Insights into thermoadaptation and the evolution of mesophily from the bacterial phylum Thermotogae (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)Thermophiles are extremophiles that grow optimally at temperatures >45 °C. To survive and maintain function of their biological molecules, they have a suite of characteristics not found in organisms that grow at moderate ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Fisheries management has to deal with uncertainty about the genetic composition and the location of fish stocks. If institutions are inert, i.e. unable to adapt to new insights, management may not be effective. This paper ...
