1. Targeting Infectious Disease : Structural and functional studies of proteins from two RNA viruses and Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Abstract : The recent emergence of a number of new viral diseases as well as the re-emergence of tuberculosis (TB), indicate an urgent need for new drugs against viral and bacterial infections.Coronavirus nsp1 has been shown to induce suppression of host gene expression and interfere with host immune response.

2. Targeting RNA by the Antisense Approach and a Close Look at RNA Cleavage Reaction
Abstract : This thesis summarizes the results of studies on two aspects of nucleic acids. Chemically modified antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) have been evaluated with regards to their suitability for mRNA targeting in an antisense approach (Paper I – III). READ MORE

3. Hypoxia inducible factor-1α in renal cell carcinoma
Abstract : Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α in Renal Cell Carcinoma Departments of Surgical and Perioperative Sciences, Urology and Andrology; Radiation Sciences, Oncology; Medical Biosciences, Pathology; and Medical Biosciences, Clinical Chemistry, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 2-3% of all human cancers. A distinguished feature of RCC is vascularisation and among the three dominating RCC types conventional RCC (cRCC) generally is more vascularised than papillary RCC (pRCC) and chromophobe RCC (chRCC).

4. Studies of mRNA transport and localization
Abstract : During mRNA biogenesis, a subset of newly exported mRNA is assembled into larger RNA granules which are transported to subcellular compartments for localized translation. These mechanisms are critical for asymmetric mRNA and protein distribution and have profound impact on cellular physiology. READ MORE

5. Conformational dynamics in microRNAs : the example of miR-34a targeting Sirt1 mRNA
Abstract : In biology, regulatory mechanisms are essential to achieve complex tasks, as virtually every process can be positively or negatively modulated in its outcome, upon different cues. In humans, microRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a fundamental layer of post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. READ MORE
