Genome wide analysis of the Ssn6-Tup11/Tup12 co-repressor complex in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
(2007-02-15)
In this study, we have investigated the fission yeast Ssn6-Tup11 /Tup 12
transcriptional corepressor which is involved in regulation of many genes
important for a wide variety of processes. In contrast to the well
characterised budding yeast Tup1...
Studies on natural antisense RNAs and microRNAs
(2007-11-27)
Regulatory RNAs are found in all kingdoms of life and involved in
regulation of gene expression at various steps including RNA splicing,
editing, stability, modification, export, translation and chromatin
remodelling. ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of RNA bulges, loops and base flipping
(2008-01-11)
RNA molecules have several important functions in a cell. They carry the genetic information from DNA to protein, act as catalysts and regulate gene expression. Both DNA and RNA consist of nucleotides, DNA molecules are ...
The p53 pathway : role of telomerase and identification of novel targets : acts of a master regulator of tumor suppression
(2007-05-17)
A key role of the p53 protein in tumor suppression is reflected by its
frequent mutations in human tumors. p53 is activated by various types
stress conditions such as DNA damage, hypoxia and oncogene activation
that ...
Physical activity in the severely obese : studies on measurement and promotion
(2007-03-26)
Background: The amount and quality of evidence on how to effectively
promote physical activity (PA) is low compared to what is known about the
health effects of regular PA, especially in obese individuals.
Aim : ...
Psychological health and life situation in spouses of stroke patients
(2007-05-25)
About 30,000 people in Sweden are affected by stroke each year. The
effect on physical functioning, and also consequences such as depression
and aphasia, are likely to affect not only the life of the patient, but
also the ...
Knowledge acquisition in patients with heart disease
(2007-09-07)
The general aim was to evaluate different aspects of the knowledge
acquisition process in patients with heart disease. Three different
education programs were evaluated.
In Paper I 208 patients with systolic heart failure ...
Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression : the role of histone modification and alternative splicing
(2008-01-18)
Telomerase, an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for telomeric DNA
elongation, is silent in most normal differentiated human cells due to
the tight repression of its catalytic unit, telomerase reverse
transcriptase ...
Autocrine and paracrine regulation of Leydig cell survival in the postnatal testis
(2007-09-07)
The primary function of testicular Leydig cells is the production of androgens that promote sexual differentiation in the fetus, secondary sexual maturation at the. time of puberty, and spermatogenesis in the adult. ...
Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular disease risk factors in children and adolescents
(2007-03-09)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) events occur most frequently during or after the fifth decade of life, however, there is evidence indicating that the precursors of CVD has its origin already in the first or second decade of ...
