1. Studies of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway in mammalian ovarian follicle activation and development
Abstract : The intra-oocyte signaling pathways that control oocyte growth and early follicular development are largely unknown. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the regulation and functions of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway in the oocyte, focusing in the roles of Foxo3a, p27, and Pten (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten).

2. Molecular genetics of B- and T-lymphocyte development
Abstract : Lymphocytes are essential for the generation of specific immunity. Development of B cells in the bone marrow and T cells in the thymus have several analogous features, and are tightly regulated processes. Even though there is an increasing amount of information concerning lymphopoiesis, a lot of questions remain. READ MORE

3. Molecular mechanisms of ovarian follicular development and early embryogenesis
Abstract : In the mammalian ovary, the dormant primordial follicles are the source of developing follicles and fertilizable ova for the entire reproductive life. In addition, the duration of fertility of a female is determined by the initial size of her pool of primordial follicles and by the rate of its activation and depletion. READ MORE

4. Basic and translational studies of follicular thyroid neoplasia
Abstract : Thyroid tumors occur frequently in the general population and although the majority represents benign follicular adenomas (FTA), thyroid cancer constitutes 1% of all malignancies worldwide. Among the differentiated cancers, three main types are recognized, including the papillary and follicular forms (PTC and FTC) that originate from the follicular thyrocytes, and the medullary carcinoma that arises from the C-cells.

5. Regulation of the germinal center response by T follicular helper cells and type I interferons
Abstract : The protective effect of most currently available vaccines is dependent on high-affinity antibodies and long lived B cell memory, which develop within organized structures of secondary lymphoid organs called germinal centers (GCs). GC formation is supported by T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, a subset of CD4+ T cells that develop in parallel to other effector T cells and specifically localizes to B cell follicles. READ MORE
