11. Systems Biology of Yeast Lipid Metabolism
Abstract : Lipid metabolism plays an important role in the development of many different life-style related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis, and understanding the molecular mechanisms behind regulation of lipid biosynthesis and degradation may lead to development of new therapies. In this project we undertook a global study of lipid metabolism in the eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. READ MORE

12. Long bone growth and evolution revealed by three-dimensional imaging
Abstract : Propagation phase-contrast synchrotron radiation microtomography is a non-destructive method used for studying histology in three dimensions (3D). Using it, the 3D organization of the diaphyseal cortical vascularization in the humerus of two seymouriamorphs was analyzed in this thesis. READ MORE

13. Function and Evolution of Small Regulatory RNAs and their Associated Proteins : A Journey from Genome to Proteome
Abstract : Organisms throughout the tree of life have evolved distinct ways to regulate gene expression. Some of these processes involve non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are not translated but functional nonetheless. These ncRNAs are of utmost importance, with dysregulation of some causing severe developmental effects or even being lethal. READ MORE

14. Studies on the Role of Apoptosis in Kidney Diseases
Abstract : Apoptosis is one of the most common types of cell death. Under physiological conditions, it plays an essential role in removal of damaged and potentially harmful cells. Excessive apoptosis has however been linked to a number of diseases including proteinuric kidney disease and DKD, and is believed to enhance the disease progression. READ MORE

15. Genetic mechanisms regulating proliferation and cell specification in the Drosophila embryonic CNS
Abstract : The central nervous system (CNS) consists of an enormous number of cells, and large cellular variance, integrated into an elaborate network. The CNS is the most complex animal organ, and therefore its establishment must be controlled by many different genetic programs. READ MORE
