1. Control of early development of the lens and the retina
Sammanfattning : The nervous system is composed of two separate compartments, the central and the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) composed mainly of sensory organs transmits sensory information to the central nervous system (CNS) comprising the brain and the spinal cord. LÄS MER
2. Fish Lenses : Anatomy and Optics
Sammanfattning : I have investigated some of the biological regulatory mechanisms governing the development of crystalline lenses. I used fish as model animals because they possess optically interesting lenses, while the geometrical simplicity of fish lenses allows for studies that are difficult or impossible with the lenses of other animals.

3. BMP - a key signaling molecule in specification and morphogenesis of sensory structures
Sammanfattning : Cranial placodes are transient thickenings of the vertebrate embryonic head ectoderm that will give rise to sensory (olfactory, lens, and otic) and non-sensory (hypophyseal) components of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In most vertebrate embryos, these four sensory placodes undergo invagination. LÄS MER
4. Ultraviolet radiation cataract
Sammanfattning : Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Epidemiological and experimental evidence supports a link between mid-range ultraviolet radiation (UVR-B) exposure and the development of cataract. LÄS MER
5. Forkhead Genes in Mammalian Development
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns aspects of Forkhead gene biology and it’s relation to mammalian development. Genes from three subclasses are discussed, Foxj3, Foxf1 and f2, and Foxe3. LÄS MER
