  1. 1. Tectonic History and Present-Day Deformation in the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt

    Författare :Khaled Hessami; James Jackson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Zagros; Orogeny; Unconformities; Iran; Growth folds; Middel East; Tectonics; Models; GPS; basement; Seismicity; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; mineralogi; petrologi och tektonik; Mineral Chemistry; Petrology and Tectonics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis uses various approaches such as observation of satellite images, field investigations, analogue modeling and GPS measurements to constrain deformation of the basement and sedimentary cover of the Zagros fold-thrust belt in time and space.Focal mechanism solutions of most earthquakes indicate that deformation in the Zagros basement is due to shortening and thickening through numerous thrust faults.

  3. 2. Functionalization of spider silk with affinity and bioactive domains via genetic engineering for in vitro disease diagnosis and tissue engineering

    Författare :Naresh Thatikonda; My Hedhammar; Hanna Dams Kozlowska; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :affinity domains; artificial ECM; basic fibroblast growth factor; functionalization; mammalian cell culture; micro-and nano arrays; partial spider silk; single chain variable fragments; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Sammanfattning : In the recent past, spider silk has drawn significant attention from researchers mainly due to its distinguished mechanical strength, elasticity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Technological advancements in genetic engineering have resulted in methods for creation of partial spider silk proteins. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Axon Guidance and Morphogenesis of the C. elegans Pharynx

    Författare :Manish Rauthan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharynx; M2; C. elegans; extra-cellular matrix ECM ; hex; Krüppel; pha-2; isthmus; NSM; pharyngeal neurons.; cytoskeleton; mnm-2;

    Sammanfattning : The C. elegans pharynx is a single cell thick muscular tube that undergoes morphogenesis to attain it mature structure from a ball of 80 undifferentiated cells. This thesis is about understanding the mechanisms and the genetic pathways underlying the process of pharyngeogenesis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Ephrins off the beaten path

    Författare :Johan Holmberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The Orchestration of cell-cell interactions is crucial to the developing embryo and the adult organism. Intercellular communication is to a large extent controlled by signalling events downstream of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Ligands for RTKs are often soluble and confer long distance information to the receptor expressing cell. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genetic re-targeting of adenoviral vectors for gene therapy applications

    Författare :Maria K Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    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
