11. Intracellular Flows and Fluctuations
Sammanfattning : Mathematical models are now gaining in importance for descriptions of biological processes. In this thesis, such models have been used to identify and analyze principles that govern bacterial protein synthesis under amino acid limitation. LÄS MER
12. Leptin targets in the brain regulating body weight : receptors and down-stream mediators of leptin in neurons of the hypothalamus and brainstem
Sammanfattning : Obesity is a disease which has become a global epidemic that is beginning to replace undernutrition and infectious diseases as the most significant contributor to ill health in the world. In particular, obesity is associated with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and coronary heart disease. LÄS MER
13. War and peace in the tumor microenvironment : tumor-associated cells as facilitators or adversaries during tumor development
Sammanfattning : The tumor microenvironment, including immune cells, fibroblasts and vasculature, profoundly affects tumor development by initially opposing, but eventually facilitating tumor growth, vascularization and spread. Though corrupted by the growing tumor, such cells remain non-transformed and thus, with proper cues, are possible to direct toward their physiological anti-tumor function. LÄS MER
14. Immune mechanisms behind plaque vulnerability : experimental and clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Physical disruption of atherosclerotic plaques causes many acute thrombotic complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The resistance of the atherosclerotic plaque to disruption depends in part on the integrity of its fibrous cap, which prevents contact between the highly thrombogenic lipid core and the circulating blood.

15. Identification and characterization of new mechanisms in cardiovascular estrogen signaling
Sammanfattning : Women before menopause are protected from cardiovascular disease compared to age-matched men through mechanisms associated with the female sex hormone estrogen. There are three known estrogen receptors named ERα, ERβ and GPR30/GPER1, which are all three receptors are expressed in the cardiovascular system. LÄS MER
