1. Axon Guidance and Morphogenesis of the C. elegans Pharynx
Sammanfattning : The C. elegans pharynx is a single cell thick muscular tube that undergoes morphogenesis to attain it mature structure from a ball of 80 undifferentiated cells. This thesis is about understanding the mechanisms and the genetic pathways underlying the process of pharyngeogenesis. LÄS MER

3. Epidermal stem cells in physiological tissue regeneration, wound healing and cancer
Sammanfattning : The mammalian skin is a versatile organ that protects from external harm, regulates the body temperature, and provides the touch sensation. Its epithelium, the epidermis, forms several highly regenerative structures as the hair follicle (HF), the sebaceous gland (SG), and the interfollicular epidermis (IFE). LÄS MER
4. Ultrasound measurement of cervical length in the second trimester of pregnancy for prediction of preterm delivery

5. Cryoablation of cardiac arrhythmias
Sammanfattning : This thesis evaluates the safety and efficacy of cryoablation in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. In Study I, the acute and long-term outcome of cryoablation therapy of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) was studied in a large series of patients (n=312). LÄS MER
