    Abstract : Spinocerebellar Ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is a genetic neurodegenerative disease with lethal outcome that affects the cerebellum and retina of patients. This thesis focuses on characterising molecular pathological pathways that cause toxicity and cell death in SCA7. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular Signatures of Cancer

    Author : Esther Edlundh-Rose; Joakim Lundeberg; Peter Södervist; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; : BRAF; NRAS; MGMT; methylation; pyrosequencing; microarray technology; gene expression analysis; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Cancer is an important public health concern in the western world, responsible for around 25% of all deaths. Although improvements have been made in the diagnosis of cancer, treatment of disseminated disease is inefficient, highlighting the need for new and improved methods of diagnosis and therapy.

  5. 3. Antiphagocytosis by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis : role of the YopH target proteins

    Author : Ming Yuan; Maria Fallman; Tommy Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Cas; Fyb; mAbp1; SKAP-HOM; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; YopH; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The enteropathogenic bacterium Yersinia pseudotuberculosis binds to β1 integrins on a host cell via its surface protein invasin. This event stimulates signal transduction to the actin cytoskeleton of the eukaryotic cell, which allows the cell to engulf the bacterium that is attached to its surface. However, the pathogen Y.

  6. 4. Molecular characterization of the Tick-borne encephalitis virus : Environments and replication

    Author : Wessam Melik; Magnus Johansson; Sonja Best; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tick-borne encephalitis virus; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The flavivirus genus is of major concern for world morbidity and mortality and includes viruses causing both encephalitic as well as hemorrhagic diseases. The incidence of Tick-borne encephalitis is increasing in many European countries and several reports have emphasized the expansion of the main vector, Ixodes ricinus. READ MORE

  7. 5. Giant cell arteritis. Epidemiological, morphological and molecular genetic studies

    Author : Vigdís Pétursdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Giant cell arteritis; temporal artery; aorta; epidemiology; atrophy; calcification; estrogen receptor a; morphometry; immunocytochemistry; Western blot; molecular genetics;

    Abstract : Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, affecting large and medium-sized arteries, predominantly in postmenopausal women. Its pathogenesis is probably multifactorial. Several studies suggest that GCA is an antigen-driven disease. READ MORE
