Ultra-deep whole genome bisulfite sequencing reveals a single methylation hotspot in human brain mitochondrial DNA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)While DNA methylation is established as a major regulator of gene expression in the nucleus, the existence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation remains controversial. Here, we characterized the mtDNA methylation landscape ... -
Uncompensated and compensated backgrounds in homeostatic controllers: Analogies to retinal light adaptation
(Master thesis, 2023)Integral controllers with single negative feedbacks were subjected to a step-perturbation at constant but different backgrounds. Response amplitudes of the controlled variable, here called A, decreased monotonically with ... -
Understanding the role of the shrimp gut microbiome in health and disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04)With rapid increases in the global shrimp aquaculture sector, a focus on animal health during production becomes ever more important. Animal productivity is intimately linked to health, and the gut microbiome is becoming ... -
Undersøkelse av Bidraget fra Lymfe Endotelceller til in vitro 3D Sprouting av Blod Epitelceller
(Bachelor thesis, 2023)The interrelationship between angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis is inadequately researched. Endothelial cells are key role players in both processes of vascular formations. The purpose of this project was to use in vitro ... -
Unravelling the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of silicon half cells with commercial loading
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Silicon (Si) is an important anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), and increasing the loading of Si electrodes is an important step towards commercialization. However, half cells commonly used for Si studies are ... -
Unveiling the potential of alterations in urine microbiome, microRNA expression and DNA alterations as noninvasive biomarkers for bladder cancer: a multi-omics study using an innovative filtration method
(Master thesis, 2023)Bladder cancer (BC) carries a large societal burden, in 2018 it was the 10th most common malignancy worldwide with 550,000 new cases and an estimated death rate of 200,000 (1). Patients diagnosed with low-grade tumors are ... -
Uracil-excising activity of hSMUG1 in bubble and R-loop DNA
(Master thesis, 2021)Uracil arises in cellular DNA by hydrolytic cytosine (C) deamination and by erroneous repli-cative incorporation of deoxyuridine monophosphate opposite adenine. The former event is devastating by generation of C thymine ... -
Utilizing Zirconium MOF-functionalized fiber substrates prepared by molecular layer deposition (MLD) for toxic gas capture and chemical warfare agent degradation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-09)Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous organic-inorganic solids extensively explored for numerous applications owing to their catalytic activity and high surface area. In this work MOF thin films deposited ... -
Validation study of MARCKSL1 as a prognostic factor in lymph node-negative breast cancer patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Protein expression of Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate like-1 (MARCKSL1) has been identified as a prognostic factor in lymph-node negative (LN-) breast cancer patients. We aim to validate MARCKSL1 protein ... -
Valorisation of Brewers' Spent Grains with Low-Temperature Hydrothermal Liquefaction: Parameter Optimisation and Feasibility
(Master thesis, 2023)Highlights • Very high aqueous phase yields achieved (79.88%). • Energy dense (38.85 MJ/kg) biocrude shows promise for further valorisation. • While scientific work suggests that addition of a catalyst increases biocrude ... -
Vannkjemiske undersøkelser i Djupavatnet 2021-2022
(Bachelor thesis, 2022)Sør-Norge var frem til 1990-tallet sterkt preget av forsuring som følge av utslipp av nitrogen og svovel fra industrien. Den sakte forvitrende berggrunnen i Rogaland gjorde at forsuringen hadde stor innvirkning på ... -
