21. Gene expression profiles at the myotonic dystrophy 1 locus : possible role in disease mechanisms
Sammanfattning : Myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) is the commonest adult onset muscular dystrophy, (prevalence 1/8000). The disorder is characterized by anticipation (earlier onset in successive generations, which is accompanied in this disorder by an increase in severity of symptoms) and variable multisystemic symptom presentation.

22. Numerical studies of spin chains and cold atoms in optical lattices
Sammanfattning : An important, but also difficult, research field in condensed matter physics is that of strongly correlated systems. This thesis considers two topics in this field. The first topic is disorder and frustration in spin models. The introduction of disorder into quantum spin chains creates a complex problem. LÄS MER
23. X-ray spectroscopies through damped linear response theory
Sammanfattning : In order to reach a fundamental understanding of interactions between electromagnetic radiation and molecular materials, experimental measurements need to be supplemented with theoretical models and simulations. With the use of this combination, it is possible to characterize materials in terms of, e.g. LÄS MER
24. Gene networks and modules in atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we are using global gene expression profiles to unravel functional gene networks and modules. The focus is atherosclerosis, a disease with manifestations in the artery wall where deposits of lipids accumulate and trigger immune responses causing the development of plaques, which upon rupture can lead to a myocardial infarction or stroke.

25. Evolution of cellular complexity and other remarkable features in Gemmataceae : Complex bacterial lineages defy prokaryotic trends
Sammanfattning : Bacteria of the family Gemmataceae belong the phylum Planctomycetes and are remarkable because of their complex cellular architectures, previously considered to be traits exclusive to eukaryotes. This thesis provides clues to the atypical cell envelope, the enhanced radiotolerance and the amazing cellular complexity of these bacteria. LÄS MER
