1. The role of Nkx3.2 and Gdf5 during zebrafish skeletal development
Abstract : The vertebrate skeleton is composed of bony and cartilaginous structures that are developed under the control of numerous genetic networks. The transcription factor Nkx3. READ MORE

2. Musculoskeletal Development in Jawed Vertebrates : Gene function, cis-regulation, and 3D phenotypes in zebrafish
Abstract : Vertebrate skeletons are an intricate framework of bony and cartilaginous structures that form through carefully orchestrated developmental processes, guided by interacting genetic pathways that regulate cellular differentiation, migration, and tissue morphogenesis. The specific timing and localisation of gene expression shapes the diverse array of skeletal elements, from the flexible cartilages of the embryonic stage to the hardened bones that provide structural support in adulthood, and the joints and connective tissues that articulate the musculoskeletal system.

3. On the role of signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis
Abstract : The problem with degenerating cartilage tissues is one of the major causes for disability worldwide. The aetiology of the cartilage degenerating disease osteoarthritis is elusive and considered to be multifactorial. The aim of the present thesis was to find new hypotheses regarding the aetiology of osteoarthritis with focus on signalling pathways. READ MORE

4. Development and Characterisation of a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease
Abstract : Preclinical rodent models of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) based on alpha-synuclein (αSyn) present some of the pathological hallmarks of the human condition, such as the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and the development of behavioural deficits. However, numerous reports on these models highlighted the variable outcomes that might originate from them if not validated properly. READ MORE

5. Intervertebral disc regeneration. Studies on stem cell niches and cell transplantation
Abstract : Abstract Intervertebral disc regeneration Studies on stem cell niches and cell transplantation Helena Barreto Henriksson Gothenburg 2010 Low back pain is a common condition in the Western world and disc degeneration (DD) is considered a major cause. DD is characterized by dysfunctional cells and decreased matrix production. READ MORE
