16. Mediators of cervical ripening in preterm birth : experimental and clinical investigations
Sammanfattning : Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is by far the leading worldwide cause of infant mortality and morbidity. Despite decades of research, the frequency of PTB has not decreased and the basic mechanisms initiating the onset of labour are still poorly understood. Vaginal preterm birth cannot take place without cervical softening and remodelling. LÄS MER
17. Regulation of RNA Processing in Human Papillomavirus Type 16
Sammanfattning : Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the major cause of cervical cancer. HPV-16 gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation programme of the infected epithelium. Expression of the late genes, L1 and L2, encoding the capsid proteins, is delayed until the more terminally differentiated cells. LÄS MER
18. Bio-inspired crossover and a model of neuronal reprogramming
Sammanfattning : Bio-inspired crossover:Natural genomes are affected by various kinds of mutations, manifesting as variations in the genome. This includes modifications to individual base pairs (single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP), but also short insertions and deletions (indels), and variations in the position (translocations) or multiplicity (copy number variations) of genetic sequences.

19. Vaginal commensal bacteria. Interactions with cervix epithelial and monocytic cells and influence on cytokines and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, SLPI
Sammanfattning : Vaginal commensal bacteria Interactions with cervix epithelial and monocytic cells and influence on cytokines and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, SLPI Louise Strömbeck Department of Infectious Medicine, Gothenburg University Abstract Lactobacillus is the predominant species of the vaginal microbiota in women of childbearing age. Lactobacilli are thought to contribute to the local immune defence by producing a variety of antimicrobial substances and, thereby, attenuate growth of other opportunistic bacteria. LÄS MER
20. Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 mRNA Splicing and Polyadenylation
Sammanfattning : Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is the major causative agent of cervical cancer. The life cycle of this oncogenic DNA tumour virus is strictly associated with the differentiation program of the infected epithelial cells. Expression of the viral capsid genes L1 and L2 can only be detected in the terminally differentiated epithelial cells. LÄS MER
