1. The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage
Sammanfattning : The role of chromatin in the induction and repair of DNA damage has a dual nature.The constituent proteins of chromatin protect the DNA against the induction of DNAdamage, while at the same time they reduce the accessibility of DNA to repair enzymes. LÄS MER
2. New regulators of xylem lignification in arabidopsis
Sammanfattning : The ability of land plants to grow upright, bear their own weight and withstand adverse environmental conditions is largely dependent on the secondary xylem tissues of the stem. The xylem cells acquire thick secondary cell walls which are composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. LÄS MER
3. Nuclear mechanisms in cell death induced by HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumour cells)
Sammanfattning : HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumour cells), a protein-lipid complex originally isolated from human milk, induces programmed cell death selectively in tumour cells. It consists of partially unfolded alpha-lactalbumin in complex with oleic acid. LÄS MER
4. Spatial transcriptome and epigenome analysis with focus on prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Each cancer is unique, and therefore the use of general treatments are often suboptimal. If we can understand the mechanisms of cancer development, we might be able to develop effective treatments tailored to each patient. Our bodies are complex three-dimensional structures and how things are organized correlate with proper functioning. LÄS MER
5. Mechanisms of Transgene Silencing in Neural Cells -Implications for Ex Vivo Gene Therapy to the Brain
Sammanfattning : The use of genetically modifi ed neural stem and progenitor cells could possibly be a future strategy for repairing a brain suffering from neurodegeneration. However, so far it has proven diffi cult to maintain sufficient levels of a transferred gene in suitable cell types, after transplantation. LÄS MER
