Competition of reactive signals and thiol modifications of proteins (2017)
Journal Article

It is clear that cells are constantly bombarded by multiple signals, often initiating similar, or even conflicting, responses. Important players in this suite of signals are the reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the rea...

The role of beta-cell glutamate receptors in pancreatic endocrine function and in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (2017)
Thesis

Background: Kainate receptors (KARs) are one of the three classes of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) expressed primarily in the central nervous system (CNS) where they mediate information transfer and neurotransmitter release. Very little is... Read More about The role of beta-cell glutamate receptors in pancreatic endocrine function and in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Irritable bowel syndrome and active inflammatory bowel disease diagnosed by faecal gas analysis (2016)
