1. MOLECULAR PROFILING OF UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to molecularly characterize urothelial carcinoma (UC) at the transcriptional level using gene expression microarrays to improve the classification and pathogenetic understanding of this disease. In the first two studies (Articles I and II), gene expression profiling was used to study dysregulated transcriptional networks in a large cohort of UCs. LÄS MER
2. Clinical and genetic investigation of hypochondroplasia and dyschondrosteosis
Sammanfattning : Linear body growth is a multifactorial trait influenced by many environmental and intrinsic factors. Among the intrinsic determinants of body height, genetic and endocrine factors are considered to be the most important. LÄS MER
3. Thyroid hormone mediates fibroblast growth factor receptor expression, which both alter cell surface mechanical properties of the mammalian cochlea
Sammanfattning : Cells in the mammalian hearing organ, the cochlea, develop a specialized patterning and cellular architecture necessary for hearing function. Cytoskeletal components, such as actin and microtubules, maintain the material and mechanical properties of these cells. LÄS MER
4. Recurrent Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
Sammanfattning : A characteristic feature of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the high risk of recurrent disease after primary treatment. Although only a minority of cases eventually progress to a life-threatening muscle-invasive tumour, it is necessary to conduct long-term follow-up with repeated cystoscopies. LÄS MER
5. CANCER-RELATED GENE REGULATION MECHANISMS
Sammanfattning : Cancer is a disease characterized by deregulation of cellular functions. The means by which these changes occur may differ among cancer types. However, common to all cancers are that they have changed the genetic programs that determine their characteristics. Genetic programs are mainly regulated by the action of transcription factors.
