  2. 1. Ultrastructural Studies of the Airway Epithelium in Airway Diseases

    Author : Eyman Shebani; Godfried M. Roomans; Marie Johannesson; Anil Mehta; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Morphology; asthma; cilia; corticosteroids; cytokines; desmosomes; Gaucher’s disease; montelukast; primary ciliary dyskinesia; transmission electron microscopy; Morfologi; Morphology; cell biology; pathology; Morfologi; cellbiologi; patologi;

    Abstract : Ultrastructural studies of airway epithelium in airway disease are important for diagnosis and understanding the underlying pathology which helps clinicians to improve the patients' treatment.Airway biopsies from a 5-month old boy with respiratory problems and gastro-oesophageal reflux were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

  4. 2. Aspects of cytokinesis with particular emphasis on induction of aneuploidy and determination of the cleavage plane

    Author : Niklas Schultz; Sluder Greenfiels; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; toxikologisk genetik; Genetic Toxicology;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses primarily on three aspects on cleavage: the relationship between failure of cleavage and aneuploidy; disruption of the cleavage process by hydrophobic chemicals; and the positioning of the spindle and, thus, the cleavage plane. The established Chinese V79 hamster fibroblast cell line was used as the experimental system. READ MORE

  5. 3. The assembly of cytosolic lipid droplets and its effect on insulin sensitivity

    Author : Pontus Boström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : diabetes; lipid metabolism; insulin resistance; lipid droplets; ADFP; SNARE;

    Abstract : Accumulation of neutral lipids, in particular triglycerides, in non-adipocytes is highly related to the development of insulin resistance and its consequences, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The accumulation of triglycerides occurs in so-called lipid droplets in the cytosol. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genome characterisation and mobility investigation in trypanosomes

    Author : Carole Branche; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Trypanosoma brucei - Trypanosoma cruzi - karyotype - genome organisation -flageflum mobility - RNAi - functional studies.;

    Abstract : Trypanosomes are uni-flagellated protozoa responsible for some of the most debilitating human infections such as Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi) and sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma brucei). Unravelling their genome organisation and their biology would improve our basic knowledge and could contribute to find new drug target specific to the species. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulation and function of ciliary dyslexia candidate genes

    Author : Andrea Bieder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dyslexia is defined as an unexpected difficulty in reading despite normal intelligence, senses and instruction. It is the most common learning disability with estimated 5-10% of the population affected. Its heredity is estimated to about 40-60%. READ MORE
