1. Molecular Regulation of Inflammation and Angiogenesis in the Tumor Microenvironment
Sammanfattning : Tumor growth and progression not only depend on properties of the malignant cells but are strongly influenced by the tumor microenvironment. The tumor stroma consists of various cell types such as inflammatory cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts, which can either inhibit or promote tumor growth. LÄS MER
2. VEGFR-2 in Endothelial Differentiation and Vascular Organization
Sammanfattning : The cardiovascular system is the first functional organ to develop during embryogenesis. As the embryo reaches above a certain size, passive diffusion of gases and nutrients is no longer compatible with efficient growth. LÄS MER
3. Altered proteins in the aging brain
Sammanfattning : The classification of neurodegenerative disorders is based on the major component of the protein aggregates in the brain. The most common altered proteins associated with neurodegeneration are Hyperphosphorylated tau (HPt), beta amyloid (Aβ), alpha-synclein (αS) and transactive response DNA binding protein 43 (TDP43).

4. Vascular targeting for enhanced cancer immunotherapy
Sammanfattning : Induced angiogenesis and chronic inflammation are major components of tumor immunosuppression. The scope of this thesis is to understand the role of the vasculature in anti-tumor immunity and thereby to improve cancer immunotherapy. LÄS MER
5. Modulation of Angiogenesis by Laminins and Heparan Sulfate
Sammanfattning : Blood vessels transport blood with essential nutrients and oxygen to the cells in our body. In a healthy adult, formation of new vessels (angiogenesis) occurs only in case of tissue repair and growth. LÄS MER
