Kontrollera Cellens Kvalitetskontroller Vilka proteiner påverkar bildandet av de giftiga aggregationer som kan ses i hjärnan vid Parkinsons sjukdom? Och vilken roll kan cellens egna kvalitetskontroller spela i bekämpandet av dessa giftiga aggregationer? Vår forskargrupp har utvecklat en ny typ av modell för att studera grundläggande processer som kan ligga bakom en av våra vanligaste obotliga neu

Krillens barnkammare hotas av smältande havsis i Antarktis I den västra delen av den antarktiska halvön smälter havsisen. Den delen av södra oceanen är känd för sin stora rikedom och mängd av antarktisk krill, Euphausia superba. Krillen är beroende av havsisen för föda och beskydd. Den globala uppvärmningen försämrar krillens lekområden. Man ser nu en nedgång i krillbeståndets storlek och krillenAntarctic krill, Euphausia superba, a polar ocean specialist, thrives in the Antarctic severe physical conditions. The krill life cycle consists of strategies that have enabled and supported the species’ dominance of the Antarctic Ocean. Sea Ice extent and duration creates condition that are crucial for survival of the Furcilia larvae. The species has flexibility to food resources and is omnivorou
