Fluoroquinolone resistance in the environment and the human gut – Analysis of bacterial DNA sequences to explore the underlying genetic mechanisms
(2014-04-04)
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are synthetic, broad-spectrum antibiotics that target type II topoisomerases. High-level resistance is often caused by mutations in the target genes of FQs, especially in gyrA and parC. In contrast, ...
Biomonitoring of Cadmium - Relationship between Cadmium in Kidney, Blood and Urine, Interpretation of Urinary Cadmium, and Implications for Study Design
(2014-04-04)
Cadmium is an environmental contaminant which accumulates in the
kidney and can potentially affect human health at relatively low
concentrations. Biomarkers such as cadmium in urine or blood are
normally used to assess ...

This thesis aims to investigate theoretically how parameters such as vessel density, blood
oxygenation, blood velocity, spatial oxygen variation along vessels, tissue oxygen consumption
and their distributions in uence ...
The role of the intermediate filament (nanofilament) protein nestin in neural progenitor cell and astrocyte differentiation
(2014-05-23)
Nestin, a class VI intermediate filament (nanofilament) protein, is commonly used as a marker for neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs), but its role in neurogenesis remains elusive. Nestin is also expressed in immature and ...
Characterizing and modulating the effects of ionizing radiation to the juvenile hippocampus
