1. Perinatal Risk Factors for Childhood Leukemia
Sammanfattning : The aim of the studies described in this thesis was to assess the association between certain perinatal factors and the risk of childhood lymphatic and myeloid leukemia and infant leukemia. The five studies presented were all conducted in Sweden as population-based case-control studies. LÄS MER
2. Molecular and Functional Dynamics of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Fate During Ontogeny
Sammanfattning : Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the fetus and the adult possess distinct molecular signatures that regulate cell fate and change their susceptibility to initiation and progression of hematological malignancies, such as leukemia. It is well established that fetal and adult hematopoiesis are functionally distinct processes; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms that govern ontogenic differences in normal and malignant hematopoiesis have thus far been poorly explored on the proteomic level.

3. On the origin of B cells. Elucidating the Role of Tyrosine Kinase Receptors in B Cell Development
Sammanfattning : B cells are essential cells that are part of the adaptive immune system with the capacity to produce antibodies against exogenous antigens. These cells are produced through a process called hematopoiesis, tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. LÄS MER
