11. Mechanisms of plant root xylem developmental plasticity in response to water deficiency and salt
Sammanfattning : Plants may be exposed to a variety of different environmental conditions including water deficiency and salt, both affecting the uptake of water into the plant. Water is taken up from the soil by the roots and distributed throughout the plant via the water conducting tissue, the xylem. LÄS MER
12. From endothelial cells to the vascular network : How cell migration and proliferation are orchestrated to build lymphatic vessels
Sammanfattning : Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) migrate across body to form a branched network, which is crucial for fluid drainage and immune cell trafficking of the tissues. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the spatiotemporal regulation and fine-tuning of LEC migration remain largely unknown. LÄS MER
13. Application of a New Logic to Old Drugs: Angiogenesis Inhibition in Neuroblastoma
Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma is one of the most common solid cancers of early childhood. In Sweden, approximately 10-15 cases occur annually. The overall five-year neuroblastoma survival in Europe is approximately 45%. Since cancer treatment involves drugs with risks of side effects in the growing child, there is a need for more effective and less toxic drugs. LÄS MER
14. Metabolomics and wood development : catching a metabolome
Sammanfattning : The tree industry is one of Sweden's most important economic sectors, producing pulp, paper, wooden goods and wood as a bioenergy source. Understanding the biology behind the processes of tree growth and wood development is a key to maximizing the use of wood as raw material. LÄS MER
15. Development of a Cancer Vaccine Targeting Tumor Blood Vessels
Sammanfattning : A treatment strategy for cancer is the suppression of tumor growth by directing an immune response to the tumor vessels, which will destroy the tissue.In this thesis we describe the development of a vaccine that targets antigens expressed around angiogenic vasculature in most solid tumors.
