Cells and organisms have developed homeostatic mechanisms which protect them against a changing environment. How growth and homeostasis interact is still not well understood, but of increasing interest to the molecular and ...

Background: Fatigue, defined as an overwhelming sense of tiredness, lack of energy, and feeling of exhaustion, is a phenomenon many people have experienced in connection with infections such as influenza, Epstein-Barr ...

The availability of fresh vegetables grown in greenhouses under controlled conditions throughout the year has given rise to concerns about their impact on the environment. In high latitude countries such as Norway, greenhouse ...

I denne masteroppgaven ble Alaria esculenta (butare) og Saccharina latissima (sukkertare) undersøkt for overordnet kvalitet, med vekt på mikrobiologi, farge og tekstur. Algene ble dyrket og høstet på Værlandet-Bulandet ...

During the recent years, environmentally friendly packaging has become increasingly important for the consumer. However, this shift towards a greener alternative should not come as a compromise on the safety of the product ...

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a rare movement disorder associated with defective dopamine synthesis. This impairment may be due to the fact of a deficiency in GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCHI, GCH1 gene), sepiapterin ...

Temperature compensation is an essential property of circadian oscillators which enables them to act as physiological clocks. We have analyzed the temperature compensating behavior of a generalized transcriptional–translational ...

Cells are exposed to a range of external and internal disturbances that may influence the function of cellular processes. The ability of cells to self-regulate and adapt to disturbances enable them to maintain essential ...

Setpoints in physiology have been a puzzle for decades, and especially the notion of fixed or variable setpoints have received much attention. In this paper, we show how previously presented homeostatic controller motifs, ...
