Contrasting the phospholipid profiles of two neoplastic cell lines reveal a high PC:PE ratio for SH-SY5Y cells relative to A431 cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Lipids have been implicated in Parkinson's Disease (PD). We therefore studied the lipid profile of the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line, which is used extensively in PD research and compared it to that of the A431 epithelial ... -
Contribution of Calanus to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Copepods from the genus Calanus are crucial prey for fish, seabirds and mammals in the Nordic and Barents Sea ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton ... -
Contribution of homeobox genes to the development of the oikoplastic epithelium, a major novelty of tunicate Larvaceans
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-11-23)The development of complex organisms is controlled by numerous genes, including developmentally regulated transcription factors (TF) encoded by multiple gene families. A well diversified group of TFs is the superclass of ... -
Control region sequences indicate that multiple externae represent multiple infections by Sacculina carcini (Cirripedia: Rhizocephala)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-29)The rhizocephalan barnacle, Sacculina carcini, is a common parasite of the European shore crab, Carcinus maenas, in which it causes significant detrimental physical and behavioral modifications. In the vast majority of ... -
Cooperation between subcellular NAD pools in the maintenance of NAD-dependent processes
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-10-31)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is needed as a cofactor in several processes throughout the cell, and its availability is decisive for the activity of many NAD-dependent enzymes. Owing to the membrane barriers in ... -
Cooperation between the bromodomain and PHD finger of p300 in nucleosome interaction. A study of the contribution of the PHD finger
(Master thesis, 2003-08)The different cells in an organism need to know which genes to be active and which to be inactive. A central mechanism that contributes to regulate gene expression is the organisation of DNA into dense and less dense forms. ... -
Cooperative learning goes online: teaching and learning intervention in a digital environment impacts psychosocial outcomes in biology students
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Identifying evidence-based teaching and learning strategies that can ease teacher challenges and mitigate student concerns in digital settings becomes increasingly important. In this intervention study we compared the ... -
Cooperative Learning in Undergraduate STEM Education: Applications and Outcomes
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-03-14)Tiltak for å styrke opplevde psykososiale faktorer slik som tilhørighet, generiske ferdigheter og vitenskapelig selvtillit samt tiltak for å redusere ensomhet hos studenter anses som viktig av flere grunner. I møtet med ... -
Copepods enhance nutritional status, growth and development in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) larvae – can we identify the underlying factors?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-19)The current commercial production protocols for Atlantic cod depend on enriched rotifers and Artemia during first-feeding, but development and growth remain inferior to fish fed natural zooplankton. Two experiments were ... -
CorA is a copper repressible surface-associated copper(I)-binding protein produced in Methylomicrobium album BG8
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-03)CorA is a copper repressible protein previously identified in the methanotrophic bacterium Methylomicrobium album BG8. In this work, we demonstrate that CorA is located on the cell surface and binds one copper ion per ... -
Coronal Cavities in CoMP Observations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Quiescent coronal cavities can provide insight into solar magnetic fields. They are observed in the coronal emission lines in both polarized and unpolarized light. In the total linear polarization fraction (L/I), they often ... -
Correlative evidence for competition between fucus serratus and the introduced chlorophyte codium fragile subsp. fragile on the southwest coast of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)The distribution of Codium fragile subsp. fragile and the native canopy-forming alga Fucusserratus was recorded at 51 sites in a 20 km long, sheltered region on the southwest coast of Norway. The purpose of the study was ... -
Creating a root architecture model: taprooted or adventitious-rooted Plantago lanceolata
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Herbaceous plants can form root systems by investing in one main taproot or many adventitious roots. While monocots have adventitious systems, eudicots can have either type in different species and even within a single ... -
CREST – Classification Resources for Environmental Sequence Tags
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-08)Sequencing of taxonomic or phylogenetic markers is becoming a fast and efficient method for studying environmental microbial communities. This has resulted in a steadily growing collection of marker sequences, most notably ... -
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated epigenetic repression of an enhancer linked to visceral obesity
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Projects like the Human Genome Project, ENCODE, and RoadMap Epigenomics have enabled genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to map associations between genetic variants and human disease. However, most variants detected ... -
The crypsis hypothesis explained: a reply to Jayasuriya et al. (2015)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-18)In imbibing seeds, resumption of metabolism leads to the unavoidable release of volatile by-products that are perceived as cues by rodent seed predators. The crypsis hypothesis proposes that the primary function of a ... -
Cryptic diversity in the leptothecate genera Laodicea and Tiaropsis (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa)
(Master thesis, 2021-09-01)Although they are an ecologically and economically important group of animals, hydrozoans are understudied because of their difficult identification due to their small size and fragility. Hydrozoans as a group show a great ... -
Cryptic introgression: evidence that selection and plasticity mask the full phenotypic potential of domesticated Atlantic salmon in the wild
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-18)Domesticated Atlantic salmon grow much faster than wild salmon when reared together in fish tanks under farming conditions (size ratios typically 1:2–3). In contrast, domesticated salmon only display marginally higher ... -
