1. Cellular Processes and Mechanisms in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Influencing Anaerobic Xylose Fermentation
Abstract : In 2009 the EU approved two directives as a first initiative towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and becoming independent of fossil fuels: the Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel Quality Directive. As a result, the demand for biofuels will increase enormously over the next decade, both nationally and in the entire EU. READ MORE

2. Aneuploidy compensatory mechanisms and genome-wide regulation of gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract : Stimulation or repression of gene expression by genome-wide regulatory mechanisms is an important epigenetic regulatory function which can act to efficiently regulate larger regions or specific groups of genes, for example by compensating for loss or gain of chromosome copy numbers. In Drosophila melanogaster there are two known chromosome-wide regulatory systems; the MSL complex, which mediates dosage compensation of the single male X-chromosome and POF, which stimulates expression from the heterochromatic 4th chromosome.

3. Regulation of Plasmodium falciparum virulence genes and immune response to surface antigens in placental malaria
Abstract : Malaria infection caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum is a deadly torment, especially for young children and pregnant women residing in sub-Saharan Africa. Much of the parasites virulence is due to its ability to constantly vary the adhesive molecules expressed on the surface of infected red blood cells (iRBCs). READ MORE

4. Genes predisposing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular mortality
Abstract : Cardiovascular complications are frequent in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular death is the most common cause of death for these individuals. A region on chromosome 19 (19q13) has been indicated by several genome scans as a susceptibility locus for T2D or components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). READ MORE

5. Control of metabolism and hormone secretion from pancreatic alpha and beta cells
Abstract : Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disease, which has made it difficult to resolve its pathophysiology. We investigated processes that could contribute to the development of T2D. READ MORE
