31. Molecular Genetic Studies on Prostate and Penile Cancer
Sammanfattning : This thesis is comprised of two parts. In the first part we study the influence of four frequently disputed genes on the susceptibility for developing prostate cancer, and in the second part we attempt to establish a basic understanding of the molecular genetic events in penile cancer.

32. Expression profiling of human macrophages and atherosclerotic plaques to identify genes and mechanisms that modulate the development of atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Macrophages play an important role in atherosclerosis, a disease that affects large and medium size arteries and causes clinical manifestations such as myocardial infarction or stroke. The aim of this thesis was to identify genes that are important in the development of atherosclerosis. LÄS MER
33. Microbial modulation of metabolic diseases
Sammanfattning : The gut microbiota, the ensemble of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract, and the host have a mutualist relationship. Alterations of this delicate equilibrium can lead to changes in microbiota composition and/or function leading to the onset of metabolic diseases (e.g., type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases).

34. Studies on the mechanisms of action and physiological relevance of SOCS proteins
Sammanfattning : Understanding systemic biological pathways and the key cellular mechanisms that dictate disease states, drug response, and altered cellular function in metabolic disorders is a significant challenge. Research in the last 20 years have made it clear that tissue communication, through the actions of endocrine, paracrine or autocrine factors play a significant role in pathogenesis of complex multiorgan diseases such as the metabolic syndrome.

35. Proteomics of invasiveness of human breast epithelial cells
Sammanfattning : Mechanisms of malignant transformation and cancer invasion and factors controlling them in response to various stimuli remain elusive. We used proteomics and systems biology to explore these mechanisms in human breast epithelial cells. The objective has been to identify a set of biomarkers for diagnostics and prognostics of breast cancer. LÄS MER
