1. Inflammatory response and intervention in experimental acute pancreatitis
Abstract : Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease where underlying mechanisms for the local initiating events in the pancreas, the systemic dissemination of the inflammatory response and remote organ dysfunction still are unclear. The overall aim of the thesis was to study mechanisms of the inflammatory response in AP with special emphasis on local, systemic, and distant organ injury directed at different signalling pathways, and potential therapeutic strategies to prevent the development of inflammation and cell injury following AP.

2. Delayed Cell Death after Traumatic Brain Injury : Role of Reactive Oxygen Species
Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability TBI survivors often suffer from severe disturbances of cognition, memory and emotions. Improving the treatment is of great importance, but as of yet no specific neuroprotective treatment has been found. READ MORE

3. Receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit signalling in hematopoietic progenitor cells
Abstract : The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) c-Kit is expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, mast cells and in several non-hematopoietic tissues. In the hematopoietic system c-Kit and its ligand Steel Factor (SF, aka Stem Cell Factor) are critical for proliferation, survival and differentiation. READ MORE

4. Role of p70 S6 kinase in the formation of tau pathologies in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract : One of the important neuropathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the tau pathology seen as accumulation and hyperphosphorylation of this protein. Evidences showed that tau could be phosphorylated mostly at serine/threonine (S/T) residues by many kinases, including protein kinase B, glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3beta, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2), ERK1/2 kinase (MEK1/2), c-Jun Nterminal kinase (JNK), and p38.

5. Role of the map kinase pathways in maintenance of the transformed phenotype
Abstract : In order to interfere pharmacologically with tumor growth and metastasis, it is of great importance to understand the status of the signal transduction systems in tumor cells. The effect of various oncogenes on cellular signal transduction events has largely been studied in short term experiments. READ MORE
