1. Acoustofluidic preparation of whole blood components
Abstract : Whole blood is rich in information about the physical state of an individual and is routinely used in a variety of clinical and research applications. In this thesis, the use of a microfluidic technique called acoustophoresis for separation of different blood components is explored. READ MORE

2. Regulation of the ribosomal RNA transcription by c-MYC oncoprotein
Abstract : The transcription factor c-Myc is a key regulator of growth and proliferation. c-Myc levels are tightly controlled and deregulated c-Myc is often associated with human cancers. In our initial studies we observed that upon inhibition of proteasomes, excess c-Myc accumulates primarily in the nucleoli. READ MORE

3. Studies of transforming growth factor alpha in normal and abnormal growth
Abstract : Regulation of growth is of fundamental importance for development of the organism and to maintain health. The induction of cell proliferation and matrix production are influenced by several different signaling systems, most importantly by growth factors. READ MORE

4. Cytokines as diagnostic biomarkers in canine pyometra and sepsis
Abstract : Sepsis is a syndrome with high morbidity, mortality and astronomical health care costs and it is challenging to diagnose both in humans and animals due to the lack of suitable diagnostic biomarkers. Although several types of proteins have been suggested as diagnostic biomarkers of sepsis, none of them were shown to be reliable for routine use in the clinical practice. READ MORE

5. Acoustofluidic rare cell sample preparation
Abstract : Acoustofluidics utilizes a combination of acoustics, in the form of ultrasound, and microfluidics to manipulate cells and particles. This has proven to be a versatile method that is gentle to the cells. In this thesis acoustofluidics has been used for processing rare cells in continuous flow. READ MORE
