21. Vector development for suicide gene therapy
Sammanfattning : Gene therapy is used to treat conditions that arise from errors in the genetic makeup of cells either congenital diseases resulting from a deletion or mutation in a gene or malignant diseases where genetic regulation mechanisms have been deranged. Suicide gene therapy is one of several gene therapeutic approaches to treat cancer. LÄS MER
22. Dual targeting of glutathione reductase to mitochondria and chloroplasts
Sammanfattning : As a consequence of the presence of both mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant cells there is a higher sorting requirement in a plant cell than that in a non-plant cell. Reflecting this, protein import to mitochondria and chloroplasts has been shown to be highly specific. LÄS MER
23. Targeted disruption and subcellular distribution of phospholipase C 3
Sammanfattning : Phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C (PLC) isoforms are key enzymes in the signal transduction pathway that control many cellular processes including cell proliferation, hormone secretion and egg fertilization. The PLCβ3 gene, assigned to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) locus, has been implicated in endocrine tumorigenesis due to the low expression in several endocrine tumors. LÄS MER
24. Functional analysis of the alpha10beta1 integrin
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study the function of the integrin a10b1. Integrins mediate signals between cells and their environment and regulate several cellular processes such as cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. LÄS MER
25. Genetic re-targeting of adenoviral vectors for gene therapy applications
Sammanfattning : The adenovirus (Ad) is a frequent cause of upper respiratory tract infections, enteritis and conjunctivitis. Since its first isolation in 1953, the study of Ad has contributed greatly to the understanding of intracellular events and has also served as a model system for many viruses. LÄS MER
