Sjømatmarkeder for fersk fisk stiller krav om leveransestabilitet, kvalitet og bærekraft. Det fins tre prinsipielt forskjellige ... -
Molecular modeling of 3D structure of the oxytocin receptor. Discovery of novel oxytocin receptor agonists via molecular docking studies.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-15)Oxytocin has been shown to be implicated in psychiatric diseases such as depression, anxiety disorders, autism post-traumatic stress disorder, and schizophrenia. As a result, oxytocin can be used as a potential treatment for these brain disorders. However, oxytocin is a large peptide, and is therefore unable to cross the blood brain barrier. Thus, the development of new small non-peptide drugs would ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-21)This article asks: <i>What can highly motivated pupils in upper secondary school tell us about dropout and relations?</i> Bauman’s concepts: ‘liquid identity’ (2011) and ‘instant living’ (2012), as well as literature on ‘relations’ (Spurkeland, 2011; Drugli, 2012) provide the theoretical backdrop for the study. The findings are based on nine individual interviews with pupils, each lasted ... -
Cholesterol Crystals Induce coagulation Activation through Complement-Dependent Expression of Monocytic Tissue Factor
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-03)Cholesterol crystals (CC) are strong activators of complement and could potentially be involved in thromboinflammation through complement-coagulation cross-talk. To explore the coagulation-inducing potential of CC, we performed studies in lepirudin-based human whole blood and plasma models. In addition, immunohistological examinations of brain thrombi and vulnerable plaque material from patients ... -
