1. Revisiting cell specification and differentiation in the Drosophila airways, an insect organ homologous to our lung and blood vessels
Sammanfattning : Oxygen is essential for life. Aquatic ancestral animal species are thought to have independently terrestrialized and invented distinct strategies for efficient oxygen supply. The respiratory system of vertebrates like us is composed of lungs connected to the vasculature while insects have a single system delivering air directly to internal tissues. LÄS MER
2. Regulators of chromatin and transcription in Drosophila
Sammanfattning : Development of multicellular organisms is achieved by organized temporal and spatial patterns of gene expression leading to cell differentiation. Chromatin regulators control how the DNA is utilized by altering access of proteins to DNA and thereby function as co-factors in transcription. LÄS MER
3. Molecular characterization of the Drosophila responses towards nematodes
Sammanfattning : A sophisticated evolutionary conserved innate immune system has evolved in insects to fight pathogens and to restrict damage in harmful (danger) situations including cancer. A significant amount of knowledge about different infection models in Drosophila has been generated in past decades, which revealed functional resemblances and implications for vertebrate systems.

4. Functions of Transcriptional Co-regulators in Drosophila development
Sammanfattning : During Drosophila development, regulation of gene expression through interplay between transcriptional activators and repressors is generating complex patterns of gene expression that leads to cell differentiation. For proper control of transcription, transcription factors bind to DNA at control regions, so called Cis Regulatory Modules (CRM). LÄS MER
5. Genetic dissection of tubulogenesis in the Drosophila trachea
Sammanfattning : The formation of branched tubular organs, such as the mammalian lung kidney and vascular system, is an essential process in animal development. The Drosophila tracheal (respiratory) system provides a genetic model system to study the highly ordered process of branch outgrowth and fusion required to form continuous tubular networks. LÄS MER
