1. Cellular pathways and molecular regulation of hematopoietic stem cells
Sammanfattning : Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined by their unique properties to self-renew and differentiate into all hematopoietic cell lineages. Residing in the bone marrow (BM), adult HSCs are organized in a hierarchy of cells that differ in their self-renewal and proliferative capacity. LÄS MER
2. Molecular mechanisms in lymphoid restriction : securing the B lineage fate
Sammanfattning : With the work in this thesis I have aimed to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms behind the development of different blood cell lineages with a specific focus on B cell development.To understand the interplay between extracellular signaling and transcription factor networks in early lymphoid development we investigated the functional collaborations of FLT3 and IL7R.

3. Deciphering mechanisms of transcriptional activation and repression in B lymphocytes
Sammanfattning : During the course of evolution, our immune system has developed, to defend us against infections, a diverse number of specialized cell types. Immunoglobulin producing B lymphocytes are produced by the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) into gradually more lineage-restricted progenitors. LÄS MER
4. Transcriptional mechanisms directing terminal differentiation of B lineage cells
Sammanfattning : The interaction between the B cell receptor (surface immunoglobulin) and its ligand (antigen) can result in extensive cell growth and induction of differentiation. The terminally differentiated B cell fulfills the ultimate purpose of B cell existence: to secret antibodies in order to protect the organism against invading pathogens. LÄS MER
5. ELUCIDATING REGULATORY NETWORKS PROMOTING B-CELL DEVELOPMENT
Sammanfattning : B-cells are an essential part of our adaptive immune system. A network of transcription factors together with external signals facilitate the gradual developmental progression from progenitor cells towards the B-cell fate. Several key factors participating in this network have been identified. LÄS MER
