Morphology and Holocene activity of a high-latitude canyon – channel system: The proximal Lofoten Basin channel system (Norwegian Sea)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-04-30)Canyon – channel systems have the potential to be biological and marine litter “hotspots”, and they can act as important carbon sinks. However, knowledge about the modern (Holocene) activity of many of these systems remains poor. This includes the high-latitude Andøya Canyon - Lofoten Basin Channel located in the Norwegian Sea (∼69oN). This study focuses on the proximal Lofoten Basin Channel and ... -

Adaptive responses in foodborne pathogens to environmental and antibiotic stress
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-05-09)Foodborne illnesses cause significant mortality, particularly in underdeveloped nations. The gastric acid barrier in the stomach serves as a vital defense against pathogens, but bacteria with acid tolerance mechanisms can bypass it, often requiring antibiotics for treatment. The growing threat of antibiotic resistance underscores the need to better understand how resistant bacteria emerge. <i>Vibrio ... -
Sinusoidal cells and liver immunology
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)The liver is an organ with many facets, facilitating numerous physiological functions. This chapter concentrates on the role of the liver as an immune organ, with a special focus on the unique role of each cell type that builds the liver. The hepatic sinusoids are the interface between the blood (and thereby the rest of the body) and hepatocytes, and host several cell types intimately involved in ... -
