2. 1. Milk Genomics – Impact of Genetic Polymorphism on Bovine Milk Composition and Processability

   Author : Maria Glantz; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; milk genomics; bovine milk; milk composition; technological properties; processability; cheese; quantitative genetic evaluation; single gene effect; genomic selection; genetic polymorphism; leptin; direct genomic value;

   Abstract : Milk genomics is a new area of research that explores the relations between cow genetics and milk characteristics. Identifying the genes controlling compositional and technological traits of milk will give opportunities to select cows for targeted milk production. In this thesis, the impact of different genetic approaches, i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. High resolution genomic tools for the discovery of protein function in mammalian cells

   Author : Emily Carol Hodges; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cell-based assays; overexpression; RNAi; BC2; C3F; Taxol;

   Abstract : The work described in this thesis emphasizes the development of cell-based strategies with increased throughput design that enable rapid biological discovery through direct investigation of protein function. Each of the works represented in this thesis are unified by the common premise that genetic perturbations, through loss or gain-of-function, in cell-based models may serve as an entry point for assigning biological roles to uncharacterized genes and their gene products.

5. 3. Pancreatic Cancer. Experimental and Clinical Studies

   Author : David Ljungman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreatic neoplasms; Proteasome inhibitors; Apoptosis; Intracellular signaling peptides and proteins; Epidermal growth factor receptor; Pancreaticoduodenectomy; Cost and cost analysis; Quality-adjusted life years; Copy number variations; Comparative genomic hybridization;

   Abstract : Background: Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal of known cancers and the only treatment with possibility of cure is surgery. The costs associated with treatment of pancreatic cancer are reputably high, both in terms of morbidity and financially. READ MORE

6. 4. Colorectal cancer : genome, transcriptone and proteome dynamics

   Author : Jens Karsten Habermann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Colorectal carcinomas are the third most common malignancies in the Western World. Despite screening programs about 70% of these tumors are detected at advanced stages. Late diagnosis, however, results in a significant reduction of average survival times. READ MORE

7. 5. Lifestyle and glycaemic control before and after the onset of type 2 diabetes

   Author : Robert Koivula; Genetisk och molekylär epidemiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 2 Diabetes; Prediabetes; Obesity; Beta-cell Function; Insulin Sensitivity; Physical Activity; Exercise; Diet; Lifestyle; Ectopic Fat; Genetic Epidemiology; Genetic Risk; Biomarker; Precision Medicine;

   Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease with widespread physiological insults to the regulation of metabolic homeostasis, above all glycaemic regulation. The pathogenesis of T2D and its progression is broadly understood to be through a gradual decrease in peripheral insulin sensitivity, a compensatory rise in insulin secretion, and a gradual decline in beta-cell function, resulting in glycaemic dysregulation and eventual T2D.
