• Review of potential entry and replication of human papillomaviruses in reproductive cells and possible correlations to health conditions 

  Ekeli, Emilie Pisani (Master thesis, 2019)

  Bakgrunn: Humant Papillomavirus (HPV) infiserer basale epitelceller i hud og slimhinner og i det siste er det fremmet hypotese om at HPV også kan smitte i ikke- epitelceller. Denne oversiktsstudien belyser omfanget av ...

• Quorum sensing in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulates N2O reduction 

  Stensland, Glenn Atle (Master thesis, 2019)

  Through a process called denitrification, bacteria can respire with the use of as terminal electron acceptors instead of oxygen. An intermediate of the denitrification process, nitrous oxide (N2O), often escapes to the ...
