11. Control of Chromosome and Plasmid Replication in Escherichia coli
Abstract : Life is cellular. Cells grow and divide to give two new cells; this process is called the cell cycle. The chromosome in a bacterium is replicated into two identical copies before the cell divides. DNA replication is a fundamental process common to all forms of life. READ MORE

12. Chromosome aberrations and environmental exposures in acute leukemia
Abstract : The aims of this thesis are to evaluate the role of environmental exposures, especially professional exposure to organic solvents and petroleum products in the etiology of acute leukemia and to investigate if there is a correlation between the exposure to a specific leukemogen factor and a clonal chromosome aberration of the leukemic cells. Papers I and II present results of a case-control study of environmental exposures, in all occupations during life-time, medical treatments with medicines, chemotherapy and radiation, tobacco-use and the exposure to chemical compounds in private life in 120 patients with acute leukemia and of 120 controls, matched for age (+ 4 years), residence and sex.

13. The Smc5/6 complex : linking DNA replication with chromosome segregation
Abstract : In order to faithfully propagate the genetic material from one generation to the next, cells need to properly replicate and segregate their chromosomes. The three well-conserved eukaryotic Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) protein complexes, cohesin, condensin and the Smc5/6 complex (Smc5/6) organize chromosomes to ensure that the daughter cells receive a full complement of chromosomes.

14. Genetic Sex Differences in Early Human Neuronal Development : An Investigation in Embryo Tissue and Embryonic Stem Cells
Abstract : Sex differences in the human body affect many different organs and tissues, some of them have an effect on the human brain and its development. In the developing nervous system, sex differences can bias the number or functionality of neurons, glial cells or synapses. As a result, neural networks might develop with a sex-specific bias.

15. Cardiovascular Risk Genes in Prevention and Treatment Response
Abstract : GENERAL AIM: To investigate how common single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate with cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be used in prevention and treatment of CVD. SUBJECTS: Subjects from the population-based Malmö-Diet-and-Cancer-(MDC)-Study (n=30447) and hypertensives from the Nordic-Diltiazem-(NORDIL)-Study (n=10881). READ MORE
