1. Multiphoton Microscopy Targeting Tissue Development. Towards the real-time imaging of epidermal differentiation
Sammanfattning : The development of novel organ-on-a-chip models calls for methodologies, which will allow the study of tissue development and pharmacological outcome in real-time. Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) has been proposed as a suitable technique for noninvasive imaging of live specimens, utilizing intrinsic tissue fluorescence. LÄS MER
2. Mitochondrial differentiation during the early development of the amphibian embryo
Sammanfattning : Mitochondria from Xenopus laevis and Ambystoma mexica- num embryos between fertilization and the beginning of feeding were studied: the former with respect to metabolic behaviour, enzyme pattern and carrier activity, and the latter with respect to morphological parameters.The metabolic behaviour of mitochondria was studied by assessing the rates of oxygen uptake in presence of various substrates.

3. Neuronal and glial differentiation of expanded neural stem and progenitor cells; in vitro and after transplantation
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we have used cells dissected from the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE), the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), and the cortical primordium of the embryonic mouse forebrain. The tissue was dissected from either i) wild-type mice, ii) green fluorescent protein (GFP)-, or iii) Gtv-a-expressing transgenic mice, and subsequently grown and expanded in vitro using two different protocols.

4. Studies on Vitamin A Signaling in Psoriasis : A Comparison Between Normal and Lesional Keratinocytes
Sammanfattning : Vitamin A and metabolites (retinoids) are crucial for normal epidermal maturation. Physiological effects are mediated by retinoic acid (RA) that activates nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in complexes with retinoid X receptors (RXRs), resulting in altered gene transcription.Psoriasis is a common disease with unknown etiology.

5. Genetic and Molecular Studies of Two Hereditary Skin Disorders
Sammanfattning : Monogenic disorders, i.e., disorders caused by mutations in a single gene, are rare and clinically heterogeneous conditions. Identification of the genetic cause of monogenic traits can bring new insights into molecular pathways and disease mechanisms. LÄS MER
