Cellular responses to metabolic stress. A study on the role of mitochondria in the crosstalk between cell metabolism and survival signaling
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-08-31)Metabolic imbalance is associated with increased risk of several diseases, including cancer. Metabolism affects or is affected by virtually all other cellular processes, which is not surprising considering their conserved ... -
Cerebrospinal fluid proteome shows disrupted neuronal development in multiple sclerosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-18)Despite intensive research, the aetiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains unknown. Cerebrospinal fluid proteomics has the potential to reveal mechanisms of MS pathogenesis, but analyses must account for disease ... -
Challenges and Prospects for Designer T and NK Cells in Glioblastoma Immunotherapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent, aggressive primary brain tumour with a dismal prognosis. Treatment at diagnosis has limited efficacy and there is no standardised treatment at recurrence. New, personalised treatment ... -
Changes in Tryptophan-Kynurenine Metabolism in Patients with Depression Undergoing ECT - A Systematic Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan (Trp) metabolism generates multiple biologically active metabolites (kynurenines) that have been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. It has been suggested that modulation of ... -
Characterisation of a common hotspot variant in acute intermittent porphyria sheds light on the mechanism of hydroxymethylbilane synthase function
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) is the third enzyme involved in haem biosynthesis, in which it catalyses the formation of tetrapyrrole 1-hydroxymethylbilane (HMB). In this process, HMBS binds four consecutive substrate ... -
Characterisation of Immunoglobulin--IgG Responses During Combination Therapy of Chronic Hepatits-C Virus Infection
(Master thesis, 2009-06-02)Current recommended treatment of chronic hepatitis C is the combination of peg interferon and ribavirin. Ribavirin has shown that it poses both direct and indirect action mechanisms against several DNA and RNA viruses. ... -
The Characterization of Disordered Membrane-Binding Proteins of Myelin. A Biophysical Approach
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-04-12)Myelin is a multilayered lipid-rich structure that surrounds selected axonal segments in the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS, respectively). Myelin insulates axons, which increases nerve conduction ... -
Characterization of porphobilinogen deaminase mutants reveals that arginine-173 is crucial for polypyrrole elongation mechanism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), the third enzyme in the heme biosynthesis, catalyzes the sequential coupling of four porphobilinogen (PBG) molecules into a heme precursor. Mutations in PBGD are associated with acute ... -
Characterization of the interaction of the antifungal and cytotoxic cyclic glycolipopeptide hassallidin with sterol-containing lipid membranes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-01)Hassallidins are cyclic glycolipopeptides produced by cyanobacteria and other prokaryotes. The hassallidin structure consists of a peptide ring of eight amino acids where a fatty acid chain, additional amino acids, and ... -
Characterization of the PLP-dependent decarboxylases GADL1 and CSAD
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-03-31)Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) -dependent enzymes constitute an essential superfamily of enzymes for all living organisms. Due to the chemistry of their cofactor, PLP, these enzymes catalyze a wide variety of reactions. ... -
Characterization of the renal function in Epac1 (RapGef3) knockout mice
(Master thesis, 2014-06-03)The discovery of the exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (Epac) has renewed our knowledge of intracellular cAMP signaling. The Epac1 isoform (RapGef3) shows high expression level in the kidney. In vitro studies ... -
Characterizing the heterogeneous course of inattention and hyperactivity‑impulsivity from childhood to young adulthood
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To advance understanding of the heterogeneity in the course of ADHD, joint symptom trajectories of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity from childhood to young adulthood were modelled and associated with genetic, ... -
Chronic Consumption of Farmed Salmon Containing Persistent Organic Pollutants Causes Insulin Resistance and Obesity in Mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-23)Background: Dietary interventions are critical in the prevention of metabolic diseases. Yet, the effects of fatty fish consumption on type 2 diabetes remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a diet ... -
Chronic mild stress - an anmial model of depression : from behavior to molecules
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-11-03) -
A co-culture model with brain tumor-specific bioluminescence demonstrates astrocyte-induced drug resistance in glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-04)Background: Although several studies suggest that stromal fibroblasts mediate treatment resistance in several cancer types, little is known about how tumor-associated astrocytes modulate the treatment response in brain ... -
Co-translational, post-translational, and non-catalytic roles of N-terminal acetyltransferases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Recent studies of N-terminal acetylation have identified new N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) and expanded the known functions of these enzymes beyond their roles as ribosome-associated co-translational modifiers. For ... -
