1. Molecular dissection of established and proposed members of the Op18/Stathmin family of tubulin binding proteins
Sammanfattning : My initial aim was a functional analysis of the conserved Op18/stathmin family of microtubule-regulators, which includes the ubiquitous cytosolic Op18 protein and the neural membrane-attached RB3 and SCG10 proteins. The solved X-ray structure has shown that these proteins form a complex with tubulin -heterodimers via two imperfect helical repeats, which result in two head-to-tail aligned heterodimers in a tandem-tubulin complex.

2. Regulation and functions of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in neuroblastoma cells
Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumor derived from primordial neural crest cells. The tumor cells exhibit a phenotype similar to that of developing neuroblasts, which indicates that the tumor arises due to perturbed differentiation of the sympathetic nervous system. LÄS MER
3. Transcriptional networks in neuroblastoma and breast cancer
Sammanfattning : Transcription factors of the basic Helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of proteins are important regulators of cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation. Many cancer diseases show a block in differentiation, and aberrant regulation of several bHLH factors have been implicated in the development of different malignancies. LÄS MER
4. Molecular determinants of endocannabinoid-mediated brain development
Sammanfattning : The enchanting process of brain development entails a fragile and finite time window, throughout which biochemical imbalances and external insults can potentially affect developing neuronal circuits. Within the numerous exquisitely orchestrated events taking place in the foetal brain, axonal pathfinding is of paramount importance. LÄS MER
