11. Dissecting Phenotypic Variation in Pigmentation using Forward and Reverse Genetics
Sammanfattning : Coat color and patterning phenotypes have been extensively studied as a model for advancing our understanding of the relationship between genetic and phenotypic variation. In this thesis, genes of relevance for pigment cell biology were investigated. The dissertation is divided in two parts. LÄS MER
12. The Role of Hepatic Leukemia Factor in Hematopoiesis
Sammanfattning : The development of therapeutic methods based on stem cells (e.g. cell therapy, activating regeneration and organ transplantation), known as regenerative medicine, is still a novel area in the field of life sciences. LÄS MER
13. Cardiovascular role of PDGF-B in development and disease. Studies in genetically engineered mice
Sammanfattning : Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B) is vital for microvascular development, and retention of PDGF-B to extracellular matrix (ECM) is important in this process. However, the role and source of PDGF-B in development of macrovascular function is disputed. LÄS MER
14. Nuclear receptor functions in the central nervous system : clues from knockout mice
Sammanfattning : The nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily is the largest known family of transcription factors in eukaryotes. In the 1980 s when the size of the NR family and the scope of the functions of its members were being discovered, tissue distribution studies revealed that the mRNAs of many of these receptors were expressed in the central nervous system.

15. Characterization of Centrally Expressed Solute Carriers : Histological and Functional Studies with Transgenic Mice
Sammanfattning : The Solute Carrier (SLC) superfamily is the largest group of membrane-bound transporters, currently with 456 transporters in 52 families. Much remains unknown about the tissue distribution and function of many of these transporters. LÄS MER
