New publication from the Donaldson Group.
A recent collaboration between the Centre for Immune Regulation at Rikshospitalet and the Donaldson group at the Biotechnology Centre of Oslo examined the role of inflammation in cancer progression.
The 4th and 5th of May BiO had visitors: BiOs Scientific Advisory Board visits regularly to evaluate our research and give scientific advice concerning our ongoing research projects and research strategies.
A new publication from the Thiede group provides a free of charge software package to quantify peptides labeled by isobaric labeling techniques.
Protein interaction data is collected by curators reading biomedical literature – after reading a paper, curators will create database records describing the protein interactions described in the paper. These curators are spread across several international databases that operate independently but that share their data so that a consolidated map of protein interaction knowledge can be constructed.
PhD dissertation in the Nilsen group:
On Monday the 15th of November Cand. scient Øyvind Fensgård from Hilde Nilsen’s research group defended his thesis: Global Genome Responses to DNA-Repair Deficiency Modulate Aging and Stress Response Pathways.
iRefWeb represents a single portal where researchers can easily query all these data sources.
A new publication from the Tasken and the Thiede group focuses on Lipid rafts, a special microdomain that function in cell signalling and trafficking.
A new publication from the Thiede group focuses on the cellular effect of the anti-cancer drug Taxol.

A new publication from the Nilsen group sheds light on the consequences of uracil and its repair in DNA
One of the first maps of the world, the Piri Reis map from 1513, was probably compiled from more than 20 different maps of the world in existence at the time. Today, almost 600 years later, a different world is being mapped: the interactome map shows how all the proteins of the cell interact with one another to make up the complex machinery of life itself.
Once again, this map will be assembled from dozens of maps, this time made by hundreds of biologists each exploring a different region of the cell. – We have a data integration problem, says group leader Ian Donaldson. - And that is a problem we have to take very seriously.
The Chaudhry group is publishing research results important to the understanding of Parkinson’s disease.
Perturbed recycling of synaptic vesicles results in dysfunctional neuronal signaling and may precede detectable neuropathology. The research results of the Chaudhry group, in cooperation with a group at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), have significant impact on our understanding of Parkinson’s disease. The data are published in the prestigious journal Neuron.
