  2. 21. Studies into The Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection in Rd1 Mouse Retina

    Author : Seifollah Azadi; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; signaling pathway ; Ophtalmology; neurotrophic factors ; Oftalmologi; retina degeneration ;

    Abstract : Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of uncured retinal diseases with the world wide incidence of about 1/3500. In spite of the huge efforts in past years, the mechanisms underlying this type of hereditary blindness has not been elucidated and nor any effective treatment available. READ MORE

  4. 22. Bioinformatic identification of disease associated pathways by network based analysis

    Author : Fredrik Barrenäs; Mikael Benson; Michael Langston; Jan Komorowski; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many common diseases are complex, meaning that they are caused by many interacting genes. This makes them difficult to study; to determine disease mechanisms, disease-associated genes must be analyzed in combination. READ MORE

  5. 23. Gene expression in human adipose tissue. Studies of leptin and genes selected by expression profiling

    Author : Britt Gabrielsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : obesity; subcutaneous; omental; DNA microarray; sulfonylurea receptor; fibroblast; growth factors; complement system; fibroblast;

    Abstract : Obesity, and in particular the amount of visceral adipose tissue, is correlated to development of type 2diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this thesis was to study genes expressed in humanadipose tissue that could be involved in regional adipose tissue homeostasis and/or obesity-associateddisease. READ MORE

  6. 24. Neurotrophic Factor Receptors in the Normal and Injured Visual System : Focus on Retinal Ganglion Cells

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is the life and death of adult retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). RGCs are neurons that convey visual information from the retina to higher centers in the brain. READ MORE

  7. 25. RNA polymerase I inhibition : mechanism and exploitation in cancer treatment

    Author : Asimina Zisi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is an umbrella term for diseases characterized by uncontrollably proliferating abnormal cells that often have also gained the ability to spread and invade other tissues. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and the second-leading cause of death in Sweden. READ MORE
