The apoptosis-inducing activity towards leukemia and lymphoma cells in a cyanobacterial culture collection is not associated with mouse bioassay toxicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-08-06)Cyanobacteria (83 strains and seven natural populations) were screened for content of apoptosis (cell death)-inducing activity towards neoplastic cells of the immune (jurkat acute T-cell lymphoma) and hematopoetic (acute ... -
Arc expression and protein-protein interactions in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Exercise- and novelty-induced changes in Arc, BDNF, and PS1 expression and Arc PS1 interaction in APP/PS1 and WT mice
(Master thesis, 2017)The overarching goal of this project was to help elucidate how some of the molecular mechanisms behind memory and learning differ between healthy brains and those with neurodegenerative diseases, specifically by studying ... -
Arc interacts with the integral endoplasmic reticulum protein, calnexin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-20)Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein, Arc, is a major regulator of long-term synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Here we reveal a novel interaction partner of Arc, a resident endoplasmic reticulum ... -
Arc is a flexible modular protein capable of reversible self-oligomerization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The immediate early gene product Arc (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein) is posited as a master regulator of long-term synaptic plasticity and memory. However, the physicochemical and structural properties ... -
The Arc of synaptic memory
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)The immediate early gene Arc is emerging as a versatile, Wnely tuned system capable of coupling changes in neuronal activity patterns to synaptic plasticity, thereby optimizing information storage in the nervous system. ... -
Arc protein-protein interactions in long-term potentiation in the rat dentate gyrus in vivo
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Synaptic plasticity is the ability of neuronal synapses to change in strength over time, and is considered to be a foundation for learning and memory. Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a widely studied form of synaptic ... -
Assessment of Image Quality of a PET/CT scanner for a Standarized Image situation Using a NEMA Body Phantom. “The impact of Different Image Reconstruction Parameters on Image quality”
(Master thesis, 2013-09-01)Radiologists and medical practitioners are working daily with images from integrated Positron Emission Tomography/ Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scanners in order to detect potentially lethal diseases. It is thus very ... -
Association between the number of CAG repeats in polymerase gamma and Parkinson disease in the Norwegian population
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative movement disorder that increases in prevalence with age. It is characterized clinically by resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and failing balance, and is due to the ... -
Associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autoimmune diseases are modified by sex: a population-based cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05)Several studies have demonstrated associations between neuropsychiatric disorders, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the immune system, including autoimmune diseases. Since ADHD and many autoimmune ... -
Atomic view into plasmodium actin polymerization, ATP hydrolysis, and fragmentation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Plasmodium actins form very short filaments and have a noncanonical link between ATP hydrolysis and polymerization. Long filaments are detrimental to the parasites, but the structural factors constraining Plasmodium ... -
Attention Network Test in adults with ADHD - the impact of affective fluctuations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-27)Background: The Attention Network Test (ANT) generates measures of different aspects of attention/executive function. In the present study we investigated whether adults with ADHD performed different from controls on ... -
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in adults. Clinical characteristics and pre- and perinatal risk factors
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-01-28)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is currently a prevalent diagnosis in child psychiatry, typically affecting 2-5 % of school-aged children world-wide. The recent and increasing awareness that ADHD may persist ... -
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; sex differences in psychiatric comorbidity and transgenerational recurrence risks : A population-based study using Norwegian registry data
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-02-07)Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a heterogeneous, multifactorial and life-spanning neurodevelopmental disorder for which the underlying mechanisms and causes are not fully understood. Psychiatric ... -
Autoimmune Addison's Disease and DNA Methylation. Identification of Differentially Methylated Regions and Development of Methylation Specific PCR for Selected Genes
(Master thesis, 2012-07-01)Autoimmune Addison's Disease (AAD) is a classical organ-specific autoimmune disease (AID) that is characterized by autoreactivity towards the adrenal cortex, leading to insufficient production of steroid hormones and death ... -
Automated Quantification and Integrative Analysis of 2D and 3D Mitochondrial Shape and Network Properties
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-02)Mitochondrial morphology and function are coupled in healthy cells, during pathological conditions and (adaptation to) endogenous and exogenous stress. In this sense mitochondrial shape can range from small globular ... -
B-type natriuretic peptide expression and cardioprotection is regulated by Akt dependent signaling at early reperfusion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)Exogenously administered B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been shown to offer cardioprotection through activation of particulate guanylyl cyclase (pGC), protein kinase G (PKG) and KATP channel opening. The current study ... -
BDNF-induced LTP is associated with rapid Arc/Arg3.1-dependent enhancement in adult hippocampal neurogenesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02-18)Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus is a remarkable phenomenon involved in various aspects of learning and memory as well as disease pathophysiology. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) represents a major player in ... -
