Metabolic Cancer Therapy Using Graphene Drug Carriers: A study of biguanide drug effects in cellular and zebrafish larvae model systems
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-11)Targeting cancer metabolism is an increasingly important strategy in the fight against cancer relapse. Metabolic drugs belonging to the biguanides family have gained attention in cancer treatment due to their ability to ... -
Model Development and Investigations on Ion Homeostasis
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023-05)The environment surrounding an organism, a cell and an organelle is constantly changing. To keep organisms functioning there is an everlasting need to regulate and adapt in order to keep the internal environment relatively ... -
Molecular Characterization of the Plastid-localized ABC Protein TAP1 in Arabidopsis thaliana
(PhD thesis UiS;375, Doctoral thesis, 2018-01)The two TAP-like genes, AtTAP1 and AtTAP2, belong to the ABC transporter superfamily of Arabidopsis. AtTAP2/ALS1 has been shown to be important for aluminum metabolism and tolerance, however, little is known about the ... -
Protein phosphatase 2A as a regulator and mediator of beneficial plant-microbe interactions
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-03)Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is involved in the regulation of stress response, growth and hormone signalling during the plant life cycle. A variety of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhiza ... -
Regioselective Syntheses and Functionalizations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Directed Metalation and C─H Activation
(PhD thesis UiS;484, Doctoral thesis, 2019-12)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well-known as pollutants and carcinogenic compounds. Lately, considering their opto-electronic and photophysical properties, PAHs are being developed as materials to be used in ... -
Smart Water for Enhanced Oil Recovery from Seawater and Produced Water by Membranes
(PhD thesis UiS;442, Doctoral thesis, 2019-03)Sustainable use of scarce water resources and stringent environmental regulations are currently moving the focus towards environmentally friendly and cost-effective injection methods in the offshore oil industry. Water ... -
Synthesis and Photodecomposition Studies of Photodegradable Antibiotics and Chitin Synthase Inhibitors
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2022-05)The release of bioactive compounds to the biosphere, such as chitin synthase inhibitors that are causing negative effects in non-target organisms, or antibiotic agents that contribute to increasing antimicrobial resistance, ... -
Synthesis of Biologically Active Iminosugars and Strategies Towards the Preparation of Chiral Quinoline Derivatives
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-12)Design and preparation of novel bioactive compounds for development of new drug leads is a challenging task. Chirality plays a key role in all biological systems, including drug targets, and stereoisomeric compounds often ... -
Synthesis of Quinone Metabolites by Electrochemical and Chemical Oxidation
(PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Electrochemical oxidation of polycyclic aromatic phenols (PAPs) has been developed in a microfluidic flow cell to synthesize polycyclic aromatic quinones. This method applies methanol as a nucleophile source while OH directs ... -
A systems biology approach to cellular homeostasis, volume changes and regulation of metabolism
(PhD thesis UiS;509, Doctoral thesis, 2020-04)Cells need to respond to a vast range of different disturbances and changes over small and large time scales. This can be disturbances in the form of molecules used to fight infectious states, changes in growth patterns, ...
