Eva Cathrine Langø project was to make a protocol for extraction of lipids in the plasma membrane of intestinal epithelial cells. Some of the techniques she will use is Gas chromatography- mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) and Western blot.
Jim Eero Lamppu
Jim Eero studied the effects of co-culturing Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells and Tert mesenchymal stem cells. The two cell types were grown on separate sides of a tissue culture insert, simulating the interaction between intestinal epithelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells in the lamina propria. Techniques used were qPCR for transcriptome analysis, western blotting for protein analysis and transmission electron microscopy for morphological studies.
Jim went on to work for Regenics AS as a researcher and product developer.

Kristi Ekrann Aarak studied how the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) influence human mesenchymal stem cells (TERT) in regards to viability, proliferation, protein expression, signal transduction and gene expression.
Laboratory techniques included SDS-PAGE, Western Blotting and ELISA.
Kristi got a Ph.D. position in Gerd Vegaruds lab here at UMB.

Stian aimed at inducing myogenesis in porcine-derived mesenchymal stem- and progenitor cells. Investigating the up- and down regulation of a selection of myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) during differentiation was central to the project.
Stian got a PhD position at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo, immediately after completing his MSc in our lab.

Gro studied the expression and activation of several receptors such as TGR5, PAR-1, -2 and -4 in response to stimulation with selective agonists. Signaling through MAP kinases and cAMP following stimulation of Caco2 cells with pancreatic juice were also studied.
Gro got a Ph.D position in Sigve Håvarsteins research group herre at UMB.
