2. 16. PDGF in cerebellar development and tumorigenesis

   Author : Johanna Andræ; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; cerebellum; medulloblastoma; PDGF; GFAP; transgenic mice; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant cerebellar childhood tumor. As in many other brain tumors, expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptors has been shown in medulloblastoma. READ MORE

4. 17. Endometrial receptivity and human embryo implantation : in vivo and in vitro studies

   Author : Sujata Lalit Kumar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : 3D-endometrial cell construct;

   Abstract : Background: Infertility, one of the common gynaecological disorders, affects 10-15% women in their reproductive years. Despite the advances in assisted reproduction techniques and the best efforts of infertility specialists, implantation rates do not exceed more than 28-30%. READ MORE

5. 18. Exploring mammalian preimplantation development and pluripotency

   Author : John Paul Schell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Our current understanding of how stem cells arise and transition during embryonic development has been limited by analysis tools that have lacked single-cell, whole-genome resolution. This thesis emphasizes the use of novel techniques and cutting-edge technology to better evaluate the biological underpinning of stem cell dynamics in both mouse and human. READ MORE

6. 19. Regulation and function of the human fallopian tube

   Author : Kjell Wånggren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Fallopian tube; endometrium; embryo; transport; prostaglandin; receptors; progesterone; mifepristone; LIF; LIFR; gp130;

   Abstract : The Fallopian tube is essential for human reproduction. Transport of the spermatozoa, the egg, and later the pre-embryo is believed to be aided by muscular contractions in the wall of the Fallopian tube and cilia in the mucosa. READ MORE

7. 20. Germline CDKN2A/ARF alterations in human melanoma

   Author : Jamileh Hashemi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Familial melanoma; germline mutation; CDKN2A; p16; p14ARF; cell cycle;

   Abstract : Approximately 10% of cases of human cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) have been estimated to occur in individuals with a familial predisposition, frequently in association with dysplastic nevus syndrome (DNS). The genetics of familial melanoma is complex and heterogeneous. To date only two melanoma predisposing genes have been identified. READ MORE
