Molecular responses of iron regulatory proteins to iron overload in human liver by Neonaki, Maria

“…Protein levels of iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1), a known regulator of iron uptake and storage in cells, were found to be consistently down-regulated in the liver of patients with HFE-related HH and also in a human hepatoma cell line exposed to ferric ammonium citrate. The intracellular localisation of the protein was also studied and in addition to the cytoplasmic and perinuclear presence of IRP1, a nuclear existence was also evident in transiently transfected cells. …”

Business cycles, interest rates and market volatility : estimation and forecasting using DSGE macroeconomic models under partial information by Perendija, Djordje V.

“…Consequently, the first part of this research project was aiming to improve the DSGE econometric methods by introducing novel solution for DSGE models with imperfect, partial information about the current values of deep variables and shocks, and apply this solution to imperfectly informed multiple agents with their different, inner-rationality models. Along these lines, this research also shows that DSGE models can be extended and suited to both, fitting and estimation of long-term yield curve, and to estimating with rich data sets by extending further its inner-mechanism. …”
