    • The effect of maternal and paternal height and weight on antenatal, perinatal and postnatal morphology in sex-stratified analyses 

      Skåren, Lise Hansen; Davies, Braidy; Bjørnerem, Åshild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-10)
      <i>Introduction</i> - Low birthweight is associated with diseases later in life. The mechanisms for these associations are not well known. If the hypothesis concerning “maternal constraint” is correct for humans, as shown in animal experiments, we expect the maternal, not paternal, body proportions to influence antenatal growth and those of both parents to influence postnatal growth. We aimed to ...

      Autophagosome formation depends on a carefully orchestrated interplay between membrane-associated protein complexes. Initiation of macroautophagy/autophagy is mediated by the ULK1 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1) protein kinase complex and the autophagy-specific class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex I (PtdIns3K-C1). The latter contains PIK3C3/VPS34, PIK3R4/VPS15, BECN1/Beclin 1 ...
