Mechanisms for state-dependent changes of thalamic processing

Thalamus contains nuclei in sensory and motor systems that control the major gateways to cerebral cortex in a two-way dialogue with cortex. The nuclei pre-process, synchronize and modulate cortical input depending on behavioral states like sleep, wakefuln ess, arousal, and vigilance. In awake, at...

IS UBIQUITINATION REQUIRED FOR ENDOCYTOSIS OF THE EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR?

Over-expression of receptor tyrosine kinases in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family (ErbB proteins) drives carcinogenesis and cancer progression. This is due to growth promoting and anti-apoptotic signalling. Down-regulatory mechanisms are operating poorly in several cancers. This...

Chromatin rearrangement during differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in the context of nuclear envelope-linked diseases

The nuclear envelope contributes to regulating genome function by interacting with DNA and chromatin. Mutations in a subset of nuclear envelope proteins, the lamins, cause debilitating diseases including lipodystrophies, muscle dystrophies and premature a ging. The link between lamin mutations an...

Coral Reef Fish Coloration: Sexual Selection, Diversity and Speciation [revised Jan. 09]

Tropiske korallrev er blant verdens mest truete livsmiljøer. Korallrevene er samtidig "havets regnskoger", med et større biologisk mangfold enn noe annet havmiljø. Bare et fåtall av dyr og planter på korallrevene er studert - de aller fleste vet vi ingenting om. Prosjektet CoralFish har hatt som ...
