1. Application of a New Logic to Old Drugs: Angiogenesis Inhibition in Neuroblastoma
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Neuroblastoma is one of the most common solid cancers of early childhood. In Sweden, approximately 10-15 cases occur annually. The overall five-year neuroblastoma survival in Europe is approximately 45%. Since cancer treatment involves drugs with risks of side effects in the growing child, there is a need for more effective and less toxic drugs. READ MORE

3. Somatostatin Receptor Expression and Biological Functions in Endocrine Pancreatic Cells
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Type 1 diabetes is resulting from the selective destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells within the pancreatic islets. Somatostatin acts as an inhibitor of hormone secretion through specific receptors (sst1-5). READ MORE

4. Disturbed Islet Function and Alterations in Islet Protein Expression
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Pancreatic β-cells sense the concentration of glucose in the systemic circulation through metabolism of the sugar molecule. Failure to correlate the blood sugar concentration to an appropriate metabolic signal disrupts the function of the β-cell as a controller of glucose homeostasis and may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

5. Regulation of Phospholipase C and Plasma Membrane Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in Insulin-Secreting Cells
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : The membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) is an important signaling molecule as substrate for the phospholipase C (PLC)-catalyzed formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol, and by directly regulating e.g. ion-channels, the cytoskeleton and vesicle trafficking in various types of cells.
