Development of Bifidobacterium spp. in infants: Age dependent patterns and correlating factors
(Master thesis, 2011)Bifidobacteria are a major microbial component of infant gut microbiota which is believed to promote health benefits for the host and stimulate the maturation of immune system. Despite the importance we know little ... -
Establishment and characterization of bovine oviductal epithelial cells in culture and study of sperm binding capacity: "Feasibility studies towards the development of a semen fertility assessment assay for Norwegian red"
(Master thesis, 2011)The mammalian oviduct is the physiological site for key events in reproduction, such as capacitation of spermatozoa, fertilization and early embryonic developments. During passage through the oviduct, a fertilizing ... -
Expression and purification of recombinant Physcomitrella patens DEK1-C2L proteins. Analysis of the phospholipid binding capacity of DEK1-C2L.
(Master thesis, 2014)Calpains are large group of ubiquitous and highly modular calcium dependent cysteine proteases that mainly are located in the cytoplasm of the cells and usually their activity is associated with binding to the phospholipids ... -
Functional analysis of Physcomitrella patens DEK1-LG3 domain.
(Master thesis, 2015)The defective kernel 1 (dek1) is a highly conserved gene in land plants, encoding the single calpain in plants, which plays essential role in the development of both the epidermal cell layer in plant embryos and aleurone ... -
Genetic analyses of functionally conserved residues in the Defective-kernel1 laminin G3-like domain of the moss Physcomitrella patens.
(Master thesis, 2016)DEFECTIVE KERNEL1 (DEK1), the single calpain of land plants, is highly conserved over the past 450 million years and it has been shown that the protein is essential for determining cell wall orientation in 3D growth. A ... -
Gut Microbiota of HIV patients: Investigation by IlluminaMiSeq Shallow Sequencing
(Master thesis, 2014)The colonization of a healthy gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a primary target for HIV infection. HIV infection causes inflammation, which results in disruption of the mucosal surface of the gut and the breakdown of the gut ... -
HUMAN CAPITAL IN LIFE SCIENCE FIRM VALUATION: A THEORETICAL MODEL
(Master thesis, 2014)Value of biotechnology firms relies upon the complex interplay between human capital and IP assets, where, human capital translates the market potential of IP asset to the true market value. This study aims to introduce ... -
Identification of gut microbiota markers for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in children : Early diagnostic potentials
(Master thesis, 2011)There are a growing body of evidences that the human gut microbiota is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Two mains forms exists, namely Crohn’s disease (CD) and Ulcerative Coilitis (UC). ... -
Mercury accumulation in European perch (Perca fluviatilis) in Lake Mjøsa. Effect on the activity of Superoxide dismutase and Glutathione peroxidase enzymes.
(Master thesis, 2014)Mercury pollution in freshwater is widespread and a concern to human health. Administering mercury chloride to organisms under study to determine the acute toxicity of mercury has been a common approach in studying pathology ... -
Mitochondrial dynamics and uncoupling protein 2 in hippocampus of the mutUNG1 mouse model
(Master thesis, 2013)Mitokondrier er viktige organeller for energiomsetningen i nerveceller. Energibehovet er høyere i nevroner enn i de fleste andre celler, og viser seg i form av høyt forbruk av oksygen i hjernen. Endogene reaktive oksygen ... -
Optimization of a sperm-oviduct binding assay mimicking in vivo conditions. Adoption of sperm separation methods and protocols for analysing sperm motility and intracellular Ca2+ level
(Master thesis, 2014)English: An in vitro model that mimics the interactions between spermatozoa and oviductal epithelial cells can be used to increase the knowledge about the function of the oviduct and the formation of a sperm reservoir in ... -
Protein separation using Design of Experiments and structure prediction in mixed modechromatography of potato protease inhibitors.
(Master thesis, 2016)Mixed-mode chromatography is a chromatographic method in protein purification that utilizes more than one form of interactions between the stationary phase and the solutes. As being advantageous over other types of ... -
Status of intellectual protection for the genetic markers in swine breeding: And its potential influence on Norsvin’s research and intellectual protection strategy
(Master thesis, 2011)Pig is one of the first animals that were domesticated, and pork is one of the most widespread meat products in food market. At present, up-to-date genetic and biotechnological approaches form a solid basis for the ... -
Study of the Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) associated with heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in Atlantic salmon.
(Master thesis, 2014)Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) is a challenging disease of farmed Atlantic salmon, and was first discovered in farms situated in the coastal areas of Norway. Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is the causative agent ... -
Using in vitro epithelial cell culture to mimic the in vivo conditions in the oviduct. Adoption of bovine oviduct epithelium cultivation on permeable support for study of sperm binding capacity in relation to bull fertility.
(Master thesis, 2013)In mammalian, fertilization is the origin to life. Researchers have found that the oviduct is the site in the female reproductive tract where capacitation of spermatozoa, fertilization and early embryonic development occurs. ...
