1. Generation of Retinal Neurons : Focus on the Proliferation and Differentiation of the Horizontal Cells and their Subtypes
Abstract : We have used the chicken retina as a model for investigating cell cycle regulation and cell fate commitment during central nervous system development. This thesis focuses on the characterization of and commitment to the horizontal cell fate in the retina. READ MORE

2. Neuronal Development in the Embryonic Retina : Focus on the Characterization, Generation and Development of Horizontal Cell Subtypes
Abstract : Horizontal cells are retinal interneurons that modulate the output from photoreceptors. Two horizontal cell (HC) subtypes are commonly identified in the vertebrate retina: axon-bearing and axon-less HCs. READ MORE

3. Gene expression patterns in human adipose tissue in relation to fat mass and adipose depot
Abstract : Obesity, especially excess amount of abdominal fat, predisposes to a high risk for cardiovascular disease. Cancer cachexia is characterized by a specific loss of white adipose tissue (WAT) and skeletal muscle mass, and is associated with decreased survival and poor response to chemotherapy. READ MORE

4. Proximity Ligation and Barcoding Assays : Tools for analysis of proteins and protein complexes
Abstract : Proteins are fundamental structural, enzymatic and regulatory components of cells. Analysis of proteins, such as by measuring their concentrations, characterizing their modifications, and detecting their interactions, provides insights in how biological systems work physiologically or pathologically at the molecular level.

5. Molecular mechanisms involved in the growth of human uterine leiomyomas
Abstract : Human uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are benign neoplasms arising from uterine smooth muscle cells, and are suggested to be sex steroid dependent. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which sex steroids, mainly estrogen and progesterone, influence the growth of Ieiomyomas. READ MORE
