1. Mechanisms of accumulation of foreign substances in melanin : binding to preformed melanin and incorporation into growing melanin
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Photochemistry of Eumelanin Precursors Role of Excited State Proton Transfer for UV Photoprotection
Sammanfattning : Melanin is an epidermal pigment commonly known to give darker skin coloration under sun exposure. It is also present in the hair, eyes, inner ear and brain. LÄS MER
3. Interaction between chemicals and melanin : Role in the aetiology, diagnosis and treatment of melanoma
Sammanfattning : The incidence of malignant melanoma has continually increased over the past decades and the prognosisis poor after dissemination of metastases. A conspicuous feature of melanocytes and melanoma cells is the production of melanin. LÄS MER
4. Molecular, micro- and ultrastructural investigations of labile tissues in deep time
Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises investigations of microstructures and molecular remains, preserved in a variety of fossil specimens. The results are presented in six papers, collectively aiming to thoroughly examine fossil traces of such remains by employing a combination of both established and relatively new analytical methods. LÄS MER
5. Exceptional fossil preservation: implications for palaeobiology and taphonomy
Sammanfattning : Although fossils are relatively common in some sedimentary deposits, the majority consists of fragmented or distorted skeletal hard parts (such as shell and bones). However, in rare cases, special burial and diagenetic conditions have allowed a greater portion of the original anatomy to be incorporated into the fossil record. LÄS MER
