  2. 1. Invasion of top and intermediate consumers in a size structured fish community

    Author : Per Ask; Lennart Persson; Daniel E Schindler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Invasion; intraguild predation; size-structure; cannibalism; climate; temperature; Arctic char; ninespine stickleback; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi; biology; biologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis I have investigated the effects of invading top and intermediate consumers in a size-structured fish community, using a combination of field studies, a lake invasion experiment and smaller scale pond and aquaria experiments. The lake invasion experiment was based on introductions of an intermediate consumer, ninespine stickleback (Pungitius pungitius L. READ MORE

  4. 2. Invasion and Proliferation in Malignant Cells

    Author : Sofie Svensson Månsson; Malmö Patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancerology; oncology; Cytology; breast cancer; squamous cell carcinoma; basal cell carcinoma; p16; proliferation; invasion; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Abstract : Two key events in the oncogenic process of tumor cells are to acquire uncontrolled proliferation and invasive properties. This allows the tumor to grow and invade beyond the tissue from which the tumor cells originate. READ MORE

  5. 3. Proliferation, Invasion and p16 Localisation in Malignancies

    Author : Kristina Nilsson; Malmö Patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; Cytology; oncology; skin tumours; invasion; p16; cancer; patologisk anatomi; Patologi allmän ; pathological anatomy; proliferation; General pathology;

    Abstract : Uncontrolled proliferation and invasion are two characteristics in tumour development and progression. Previous studies have shown that invading tumour cells in colorectal cancer have low proliferation in parallel to upregulation of the tumour suppressor p16. READ MORE

  6. 4. It Takes Two to Tango : Bacterial heterogeneity and host cell features govern Salmonella infection

    Author : Viktor Ek; Mikael E. Sellin; Francisco García del Portillo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Salmonella; swimming; swim pattern; targetting; virulence; invasion; host-pathogen interactions; epithelium; epithelial cells; macrophages; monocytes; monolayer; flagella; genome; genetic; barcoding; discreet-invasion; shape; morphology; antibiotics; persistence; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S.Tm) causes enterocolitis with significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. The general aim of this thesis is to investigate variation in host cell invasion mechanisms used by S.Tm across different host cell contexts, as well as the influence of bacterial cell-cell heterogeneity on invasion-relevant S.

  7. 5. Regulation of cell polarity and invasion by TGF-β and BMP signaling

    Author : Mahsa Shahidi Dadras; Aristidis Moustakas; Petra Knaus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cancer; cancer stem cells; invasion; metastasis; polarity; TGF-β signaling.;

    Abstract : Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways are involved in many physiological processes during embryonic and adult life. TGF-β promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). We identified a gene target of TGF-β signaling, encoding the salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1). READ MORE
