21. Studies of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway in mammalian ovarian follicle activation and development
Sammanfattning : The intra-oocyte signaling pathways that control oocyte growth and early follicular development are largely unknown. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the regulation and functions of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway in the oocyte, focusing in the roles of Foxo3a, p27, and Pten (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten).

22. The functional roles of the intra-oocyte phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling in controlling follicular development in mice
Sammanfattning : The key functions of the mammalian ovary are the production of fertilizable oocytes and thesecretion of steroid hormones. At the time of birth the human ovary is composed of basic unitstermed primordial follicles. Primordial follicles are long-lived structures in the ovary and some ofthem last until the woman reaches menopause. LÄS MER
23. Responses to Tumour initiating factors and Regulation of Normal and Malignant Haematopoiesis
Sammanfattning : The haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) resides within a specific environment enabling it to retain its self-renewal capacity or quiescent state. It is proposed that the HSC niche is hypoxic, a milieu within which the HSC is protected from intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli. LÄS MER
24. Molecular determinants of glioma subsets with distinct histology or sensitivity to signal transduction inhibitors
Sammanfattning : Gliomas are brain tumors that currently are treated with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Less than 7.5% of patients with GBM survive more than 2 years after diagnosis. LÄS MER
25. Genetic variation of tight junction structures in intestinal inflammation
Sammanfattning : The epithelial barrier facing the external environment in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is comprised of several components, including the tight junction (TJ) structures observed for the first time in 1963. TJ structures, which are multiprotein complexes composed of transmembrane proteins and a diverse spectrum of intracellular components, create a primary barrier to diffusion of ions, solutes, and water and they concomitantly prevent permeation of pro-inflammatory factors, such as pathogens, toxins, and antigens.
