• Age- and sex-dependent effects of DNA glycosylase Neil3 on amyloid pathology, adult neurogenesis, and memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease 

      Egiazarian, Milena Armenovna; Strømstad, Silje; Sakshaug, Teri; Nunez-Nescolarde, Ana; Bethge, Nicole; Bjørås, Magnar; Scheffler, Katja (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Oxidative stress generating DNA damage has been shown to be a key characteristic in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, how it affects the pathogenesis of AD is not yet fully understood. Neil3 is a DNA glycosylase initiating ...
    • DNA glycosylase Neil2 contributes to genomic responses in the spleen during clinical prion disease 

      Scheffler, Katja; Jalland, Clara Maria Osnes; Benestad, Sylvie L.; Moldal, Torfinn; Ersdal, Cecilie; Gunnes, Gjermund; Suganthan, Rajikala; Bjørås, Magnar; Tranulis, Michael A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The DNA glycosylase Neil2 is a member of the base excision repair (BER) family of enzymes, which are important for repair of oxidative DNA damage. Specifically, Neil2 participates in repair of oxidized bases in single-stranded ...
    • NRF2 drives an oxidative stress response predictive of breast cancer 

      Wolowczyk, Camilla; Neckmann, Ulrike; Aure, Miriam Ragle; Hall, Martina; Johannessen, Bjarne; Zhao, Sen; Skotheim, Rolf I.; Andersen, Sonja Benedikte; Zwiggelaar, Rosalie Theda Margien; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Lingjærde, Ole Christian; Sahlberg, Kristine Kleivi; Almaas, Eivind; Bjørkøy, Geir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Many breast cancer patients are diagnosed with small, well-differentiated, hormone receptor-positive tumors. Risk of relapse is not easily identified in these patients, resulting in overtreatment. To identify metastasis-related ...
