2. A microfluidic toolbox to fabricate, sort and characterize thermoresponsive colloidal molecules and their assemblies
Abstract : In this thesis we discuss the assembly of thermoresponsive microgel particles into small clusters, and their use as colloidal molecules with specific and directional interactions. The underlying goal is to use these particles as advanced building blocks for new types of self- assembled structures with novel or vastly improved properties, and as model particles for investigating fundamental problems in condensed matter physics.

3. Mammalian thioredoxin reductase 1 in antioxidant defense, regulation of adipocyte differentiation and as an anticancer drug target
Abstract : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are oxygen containing reactive molecules generated as by-products of cellular metabolism. At physiological concentrations, ROS acts as secondary messengers in cellular signaling transduction, but excessive amounts of ROS result in oxidative stress and cellular damage. READ MORE

4. Summer Climate Variability during the Past 1200 Years in Central Scandinavia – A Tree-Ring Perspective
Abstract : To set the current 20th century warming in a long-term context, significant efforts have been made to reconstruct hemispheric-to-global temperatures beyond the instrumental period. Tree-rings, which have annual resolution and can be precisely dated, have been widely used to infer past climate variability. READ MORE
