  2. 1. Haemophilia in Sweden – Studies on mutations and clinical implications

    Author : Annika Mårtensson; Enheten för pediatrisk hematologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; haemophilia; factor VIII; factor IX; factor 8 gene; factor 9 gene; carriers; prenatal diagnosis; mutations; inhibitors; haplotype;

    Abstract : Introduction: Haemophilia A (HA) and B (HB) are two of our most common inherited bleeding disorders and are due to a variety of gene mutations. Aims: The overall objective of the present research was to perform clinical and basic scientific studies on haemophilia in Sweden to further improve and individualise the care of haemophilia patients and their relatives.

  4. 2. Gene regulation by Early B-cell Factor (EBF)

    Author : Peter Åkerblad; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serology; Immunology; B-lymphocytes; Differentiation; Transcription; EBF; Gene regulation; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : In this study we aimed at defining genes that are controlled by Early B-cell Factor (EBF), that could explain the severe block in B-cell development observed in EBF-/- mice. The fact that EBF appears to be important for the transcriptional control of genes encoding proteins in the pre-B and B-cell receptor complex implied to us that EBF could be a common regulator of other components in the pre-B and B-cell receptor.

  5. 3. Diabetes mellitus and risk of prostate cancer - A focus on shared risk factors and survivor bias

    Author : Isabel Drake; Nutritionsepidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carbohydrates; cohort; competing risk; diabetes mellitus; diet; epidemiology; fiber; gene; gene-environment; lifestyle; prostate cancer; survivor bias; transcription factor 7-like 2; whole-grain; alkylresorcinol metabolites;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PCa) is a heterogenous disease including very aggressive lethal tumors to incidentally discovered clinically insignificant tumors. Age, ethnicity, and family history are the only established risk factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. Organization and regulation of mitochondrial gene expression

    Author : Roger Salvatori; Martin Ott; Benoit Kornmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mitochondria; mitochondrial gene expression; post-transcriptional regulation; mitochondrial ribosome; protein-protein proximity; BioID; feedback loop; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Mitochondria possess their own genome, remnant of the ancestral eubacterial endosymbiont DNA. This mitochondrial genome encodes mostly few key subunits of the respiratory chain. In order to synthesize these few proteins, mitochondria contain a complete gene expression machinery. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of PDGF-B gene inactivation in endothelial cell

    Author : Mattias Bjarnegård; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : gene targeting; Cre loxP; PDGF; pericyte; mouse; microangiopathy;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) is expressed by endothelial cells, neurons, macrophages and platelets. The relative importance of these cellular PDGF-B sources in vivo has been addressed by the creation of a conditional PDGF-B allele, which in the presence of a specific recombinase can be silenced in different tissues.
