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

2. Elongation factor 2: A key component of the translation machinery in eukaryotes : Properties of yeast elongation factor 2 studied in vivo
University dissertation from Stockholm : Wenner-Grens institut för experimentell biologiAbstract : Synthesis of proteins is performed by the ribosome, a large ribonucleoprotein complex. Apart from the ribosome, numerous protein factors participate in this process. Elongation factor 2 (eEF2) is one of these factors. eEF2 is an essential protein with a mol. READ MORE

3. The ribosome, stringent factor and the bacterial stringent response
University dissertation from Stockholm : Wenner-Grens institut för experimentell biologiAbstract : The stringent response plays a significant role in the survival of bacteria during different environmental conditions. It is activated by the binding of stringent factor (SF) to stalled ribosomes that have an unacylated tRNA in the ribosomal A-site which leads to the synthesis of (p)ppGpp. READ MORE

4. Interaction Between Drosophila melanogaster mbn-2 Cells and Bacteria
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Innate immunity relies on a repertoire of germline-encoded non-rearranging pattern recognition receptors that bind to invariant microbial surface molecules. This event initiates a number of signal transduction cascades that lead to humoral and cellular defense responses like synthesis of antimicrobial peptides, phagocytosis and coagulation – mechanisms that efficiently fight infectious microorganisms and have been evolutionary conserved to exist in parallel with the antibody-based adaptive immunity found in vertebrates.

5. The Actin Filament System Its Involvement in Cell Migration and Neurotransmitter Release
University dissertation from Stockholm : The Wenner-Gren Institute, Stockholm UniversityAbstract : The microfilament system consists of actin filaments as the major component and is regulated by a number of actin binding proteins. It is juxtaposed to the plasma membrane where it forms a dense cortical weave from where it pervades into the cell interior. READ MORE
