1. Constructing a timetable of autumn senescence in aspen
Abstract : During the development and lifecycle of multicellular organisms, cells have to die, and this occurs by a process called programmed cell death or PCD, which can be separated from necrosis or accidental cell death (Pennell and Lamb, 1997). Senescence is the terminal phase in the development of an organism, organ, tissue or cell, where nutrients are remobilized from the senescing parts of the plant into other parts, and the cells of the senescing organ or tissue undergo PCD if the process is not reversed in time.

2. Bioengineering and Cell-derived Strategies for Salivary Gland Regeneration
Abstract : Xerostomia (dry mouth symptoms) is a group of incurable debilitating conditions of salivary glands caused by aging, radiation/chemical exposure, or aberrant inflammation in the salivary glands. During this PhD thesis, we aimed to evaluate whether cell-derived strategies (e.g. READ MORE

3. Targeting MYC and CDK2 in cancer : impacts on senescence, apoptosis and immune modulation
Abstract : Cancer is a disease in which cells acquire the ability to divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues. An important component of this process is the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. READ MORE

4. Pro-senescence therapy by targeting MYC and its network as a strategy to combat cancer
Abstract : Cancer is defined as abnormal cell proliferation with the potential of metastasis and is an increasing threat to global health as the population becomes older. Cancer is triggered by gain-of-function mutations in oncogenes and loss of function mutations in tumor suppressor genes. READ MORE
