Title: Non-antibiotic disease modifying effects of macrolides in airway diseases.
Through evolution organisms have come up with multiple ways to evade lentiviral infections. Among these host defenses is the mammalian APOBEC3 (A3) family of cytidine deaminases that restricts infections by mutating viral DNA and impeding reverse transcription.
Studies have shown that the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD), the Gram-positive bacterium Renibacterium salmoninarum (Rs), is endemic in wild salmonids that inhabit Icelandic freshwater systems, i.e., Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus), brown trout (Salmo trutta), and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
Scrapie has been endemic in Iceland for a long time, causing problems for sheep farmers.
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (APRTd) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of adenine metabolism that results in the generation and renal excretion of large amounts of the poorly soluble 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA)
In this BMC seminar, Dr. Elvar Örn Jónsson and Dr. Snævar Sigurðsson will tell you all about the power of the new Mimir2 and answer all the questions you have about how to use the computer cluster. Suggestions for improved usage are welcomed.
The Epilepsy Bioinformatics Study for Antiepileptogenic Therapy (EpiBioS4Rx) is a multi-site, international collaboration including a parallel study of humans and an animal model, collecting MRI, EEG, and blood samples.
Dr. Edith Heard, Director General of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) will give a presentation at the University of Iceland on Monday August 15 at 16:00 in lecture hall Askja 132. Her seminar is entitled: Life in context: EMBL‘s perspective.
Hydrogels have been extensively used for drug delivery, hemostasis, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.
Adenosine is an evolutionary ancient metabolic regulator linking energy state to physiological processes including immunomodulation and cell proliferation.
The overall research theme in our lab is the structural and functional characterization of enzymes and enzyme assemblies that contribute to the bacteria defense systems which target invading nucleic acids.
