6. Molecular studies of Wig-1, a p53-induced zinc finger protein
Sammanfattning : The fact that p53 is one of the most commonly mutated gene in human tumors indicates that it has a key role in tumor suppression. p53 accumulates after DNA-damage and other types of cellular stress, leading to the initiation of a p53-dependent biological response, including cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

7. Structural Decorations in Viruses : Unraveling Acquired Functional Structures in Icosahedral RNA Virus Capsids
Sammanfattning : Viruses have a profound impact worldwide, posing challenges to animal welfare, agriculture, human health, and the ecosystem. This thesis examines the realm of non-enveloped icosahedral double-stranded (ds)RNA and single-stranded (ss)RNA viruses through three studies. LÄS MER
8. The p53-induced gene wig-1 : regulation of expression and role in embryonic development
Sammanfattning : The p53 tumor suppressor is a transcription factor that responds to various forms of cellular stress. Activated p53 induces growth arrest or apoptosis through transcriptional regulation of a wide range of target genes. More than 50% of human tumors carry mutations in the p53 gene, most of which reside within the DNAbinding core domain of p53. LÄS MER
9. Systemic RNAi Relies on the Endomembrane System in Caenorhabditis elegans
Sammanfattning : The membrane system of a eukaryotic cell is a large and complex system handling the transport, exchange and degradation of many kinds of material. Recent research shows that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated gene silencing (RNA interference) is a membrane related process. LÄS MER
10. Effects of the host defense peptide LL-37 on human cells : Immunomodulation and cytotoxicity
Sammanfattning : The human host defense peptide LL-37 has an essential role in the first line of defense against invading pathogens. This cathelicidin is mainly produced by immune cells and epithelial cells aligning the mucosal areas and is normally upregulated upon infection and inflammation. LÄS MER
