  Long non-coding RNAs in ulcerative colitis 

  Ray, Mithlesh Kumar (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-06-12)

  Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the large intestine, influenced by various factors such as genetics, environment, gut contents, and the host's immune system. It has been reported that epigenetic factors, such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and DNA methylation, play a role in UC development. The contribution of lncRNAs to UC pathogenesis is not fully understood. ...

  Impact ionization double peaks analyzed in high temporal resolution on Solar Orbiter 

  Kociscak, Samuel; Kvammen, Andreas; Mann, Ingrid Brigitte; Meyer-Vernet, Nicole; Pisa, David; Souček, Jan; Theodorsen, Audun; Vaverka, Jakub; Zaslavsky, Arnaud (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-29)

  Solar Orbiter is equipped with electrical antennas performing fast measurements of the surrounding electric field. The antennas register high-velocity dust impacts through the electrical signatures of impact ionization. Although the basic principle of the detection has been known for decades, the understanding of the underlying process is not complete, due to the unique mechanical and electrical ...

  Challenges in Defining a Reference Set of Differentially Expressed lncRNAs in Ulcerative Colitis by Meta-Analysis 

  Fenton, Christopher Graham; Ray, Mithlesh Kumar; Paulssen, Ruth Erika Hildegard Hracky (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-05)

  The study aimed to identify common differentially expressed lncRNAs from manually curated ulcerative colitis (UC) gene expression omnibus (GEO) datasets. Nine UC transcriptomic datasets of clearly annotated human colonic biopsies were included in the study. The datasets were manually curated to select active UC samples and controls. R packages geneknitR, gprofiler, clusterProfiler were used for gene ...

  Periodontitis is associated with decreased experimental pressure pain tolerance: The Tromsø Study 2015–2016 

  Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve; Petrenya, Natalia; Jönsson, Birgitta; Steingrímsdóttir, Ólöf Anna; Stubhaug, Audun; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-01)

  Aim - To assess the relationship between periodontitis and experimental pain tolerance.<p> <p>Materials and Methods - Participants from the population-based seventh survey of the Tromsø Study with data on periodontitis were included (n = 3666, 40–84 years old, 51.6% women). Pain tolerance was assessed through (i) pressure pain tolerance (PPT) test with a computerized cuff pressure algometry on ...

  The land of pygmies and monsters - glimpses from the Arctic map collection at UiT 

  Aspaas, Per Pippin (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-05-15)

  During the 16th and 17th centuries, the very first Arctic explorations took place. The maps from that age not only express the mathematical and scientific knowledge of the time, they are also artistic artefacts with a rich symbolic language. Maps are often adorned with illustrations of indigenous peoples, exotic animals and mythological creatures, reflecting the mystique surrounding the Arctic.
