(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, 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, 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)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 ...

(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 ...
-
(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, 2013)The main objective of the present study is to describe and compare the morphology of the female genitalia within a selected number of species and families of the lower Diptera. The results are presented as two papers with ...
-
(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)Among amphibians, conspecific chemical communication has been widely studied in Caudata. Adult anurans, by contrast, have received less attention. Recently, it was shown that chemical scents are also relevant for adult ...
