Evolutionary analysis of cellular reduction and anaerobicity in the hyper-prevalent gut microbe Blastocystis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Blastocystis is the most prevalent microbial eukaryote in the human and animal gut, yet its role as commensal or parasite is still under debate. Blastocystis has clearly undergone evolutionary adaptation to the gut environment ... -
Evolutionary Maintenance of the PTS2 Protein Import Pathway in the Stramenopile Alga Nannochloropsis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The stramenopile alga Nannochloropsis evolved by secondary endosymbiosis of a red alga by a heterotrophic host cell and emerged as a promising organism for biotechnological applications, such as the production of polyunsaturated ... -
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and REM Sleep Behavior Disorders in Parkinson's Disease: A Narrative Review on Early Intervention With Implications to Neuroprotection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11)Sleep contributes to the consolidation of our memory and facilitates learning. Short term sleep deprivation temporarily reduces mnestic capacity, whereas long lasting sleep deprivation is associated with structural changes ... -
Excision of 5-hydroxymethyluracil in single-stranded DNA by hSMUG1 requires Ser26 and/or Glu35 and Pro240
(Master thesis, 2021)The integrity of the genetic material of all organisms is assaulted continuously by a multitude of endogenous and exogenous agents throughout its lifetime, where the DNA bases of the genetic code may be altered if not ... -
Exploring Analytical Methods for Quality Control and Accurate Quantification of Major Biologically Active Components in Astragalus Radix
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)Abstract Introduction Over the past decade, the worldwide consumption and sales of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs have grown enormously. Astragalus Radix (Chinese: Huang qi) (AR), the dried root of Astragalus ... -
Exploring Modified Alendronic Acid as a New Inhibitor for Calcium-Based Oilfield Scales
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02)Organophosphorus compounds are well known as oilfield scale inhibitors. Earlier work showed that a series of new and well-known bone-targeting drugs incorporating non-toxic bisphosphonates (BPs) (PO3H2–C–PO3H2) gave good ... -
Exploring Pathogenicity in Blastocystis ST7 and ST4: A comparative analysis of virulence factors from known intestinal parasites for pathogenicity assessment in Blastocystis spp.
(Master thesis, 2023)Blastocystis, a unicellular parasite found in the human gastrointestinal tract, has been a topic of study due to its potential pathogenicity. This study identified potential virulence factors within Blastocystis subtypes ... -
Exploring potential analytical methods for determination of glycerol-3-phosphate in human plasma
(Master thesis, 2023)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. Biomarkers that indicate immediate renal tissue injury is needed for improved detection of early ... -
Exposure and effects of synthetic enhanced oil recovery polymers on the Norwegian Continental Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-12)Synthetic polymers are planned to be used for more efficient oil recovery from offshore oil reservoirs. Using synthetic polymers offshore may lead to these being released into the marine environment through produced water ... -
Extracellular vesicles as a potential source of tumor-derived DNA in advanced pancreatic cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are reported to contain nucleic acids, including DNA. Several studies have highlighted the potential of EV-derived DNA (evDNA) as a circulating biomarker, even demonstrating that ... -
Faunal and Microbial Sediment Community Disturbances Caused by Organic and Inorganic Contamination
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)There are ongoing developments to enable treatment of oil based drill cuttings with subsequent deposition offshore rather than the current practice to transport and treat such material on land. A sample from a step in the ... -
Feasibility study of cost-effective nutrient media for microalgal growth within the aquaculture industry in a circular economy context
