The authors compared the influence of environmental enrichment on intact and lesioned brain, and tested the hypothesis that postischemic exposure to an enriched environment can alter dendritic spine density in pyramidal neurons contralateral to a cortical infarct. The middle cerebral artery was occluded distal to the striatal branches in spontaneously hypertensive rats postoperatively housed eithe

Popular Abstract in Swedish I bageriindustrin används emulgatorer i så kallad alfaform för att tårtbottnar ska kunna vispas i ett steg och ändå få en stor luftvolym. Avhandlingen fokuserar på vissa av emulgatorns effekter i produkter såsom kaksmet: Hur skumbildningen påverkas av emulgatormolekylernas packning, hur emulgatorer ändrar svällningen av stärkelsekornen i mjölet, och vilka effekterna bliIn the baking industry, emulsifiers in the alpha-gel state are used for foam formation. This thesis focuses on some parts of the effects of the emulsifier: how the foam formation and foam stability are influenced by the physical state of the emulsifier, how emulsifiers change the gelatinization and gel formation of starch, and the impact that these factors may have in a true product such as a spon

We describe a combined experimental, theoretical, and simulation study of the structural correlations between cross-linked highly monodisperse and swollen Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel dispersions in the fluid phase in order to obtain the effective pair-interaction potential between the microgels. The density-dependent experimental pair distribution functions g(r)'s are deduced from real sp

Leukocyte migration into the epithelial compartment is an important feature in the active phase of mycobacterial infections. In this study, we used the Transwell model to investigate the mechanisms behind mycobacteria-induced leukocyte recruitment and investigated the role of TLR2 and TLR4 in this process. Infection of epithelial cells resulted in significantly increased secretion of the neutrophi

Mantis shrimps (Stomatopoda) possess in common with other crustaceans, and with Hexapoda, specific neuroanatomical attributes of the protocerebrum, the most anterior part of the arthropod brain. These attributes include assemblages of interconnected centers called the central body complex and in the lateral protocerebra, situated in the eyestalks, paired mushroom bodies. The phenotypic homologues

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of senile plaques (SPs) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in vulnerable brain regions. SPs are composed of aggregated β-amyloid (Aβ) 40/42(43) peptides. Evidence implicates a central role for Aβ in the pathophysiology of AD. Mutations in βAPP and presenilin 1 (PS1) lead to elevated secretion of Aβ, especially the more amyloidogenic Aβ42.

Gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) serve as key priming sites for intestinal adaptive immune responses. Most of our understanding of GALT function and development arises from studies in mice. However, the diversity, structure and cellular composition of GALT differs markedly between mammalian species and the developmental window in which distinct GALT structures develop in large mammals remain

The initiation of leaf and flower primordia in plants occurs in the shoot apical meristem and results in visible large–scale regular patterns of organs. It has previously been proposed that the initiation of new primordia is triggered by the plant hormone auxin by a mechanism that is confined to the outermost epidermal layer of the meristem. Recent experiments suggest that the genes KANADI (KAN)

Escherichia coli stimulates neutrophil migration across human uroepithelial cell layers. This study investigated the role of the neutrophil chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) in this process. E. coli and IL-1alpha stimulated urinary tract epithelial layers to secrete IL-8 and induced transepithelial neutrophil migration. Anti-IL-8 antibody reduced neutrophil migration across epithelial cell layers, in

Background and Purpose-We have previously shown that delivery of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) through direct intrahippocampal gene transduction with a viral vector suppresses the formation of new dentate granule cells triggered by global forebrain ischemia. Here, we investigated whether inhibition of endogenous BDNF alters ischemia-induced neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus. Methods-Rat

The data on biologic effects of nonthermal microwaves (MWs) from mobile telephones are diverse, and these effects are presently ignored by safety standards of the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). In the present study, we investigated effects of MWs of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) at different carrier frequencies on human lymphocytes from heal

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes often displays hyperlipidemia. We examined palmitate effects on pancreatic islet function in relation to FFA receptor GPR40, NO generation, insulin release, and the PPARgamma agonistic thiazolidinedione, rosiglitazone. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Rosiglitazone suppressed acute palmitate-stimulated GPR40-transduced PI hydrolysis in HEK293 cells and insulin release from MIN6c cel

Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is often found in chronic infections, including cystic fibrosis lung infections and those related to chronic wounds and venous ulcers. At the latter sites, P. aeruginosa can be isolated together with Staphylococcus epidermidis, and we have therefore explored the effect of clinical isolates and laboratory strains of P. aeruginosa strains on colonization by S. epiderm

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fyllotaxi är läran om blad, löv, och andra växtorgans placering. Ordet fyllotaxi har sitt ursprung i de grekiska orden för 'blad' och 'organisation', och mönsterbildning i växter har studerats sedan antiken. Mönster i naturen har alltid intresserat människan och fantasieggande kopplingar till matematiken gör sig ständigt till känna. I många växter bildar växtorgan mönst

A fraction from human milk containing spf-multimer alpha-lactalbumin (MAL) induces apoptosis in tumor cells and immature cells but spares mature cells. The mechanism of apoptosis induction and the molecular basis for the difference in susceptibility between tumor cells and healthy cells have not been defined. In this study we examined the interaction of MAL with different cellular compartments, us

We have recently presented a sequential treatment method, in which steam explosion (STEX) was followed by hydrotropic extraction (HEX), to selectively fractionate cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in hardwood into separate process streams. However, above a treatment severity threshold, the structural alterations in the cellulose-enriched fraction appeared to restrict the enzymatic hydrolyzabili
