1. Epithelial stem cells in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
Sammanfattning : Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and restrictive dermopathy (RD) are two rare genetic disorders that affect children. Complications from cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, are the most common cause of death in HGPS, which occurs at around 13 years of age. LÄS MER
2. Divergence, admixture and continuity in the human past : Demographic inference using ancient and modern genomes
Sammanfattning : Demographic forces shaping the genetic variation we observe today can include population divergences, admixture events and continuity through time. The advancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies, together with developments in molecular and bio-informatics methods, mean the number of ancient genomes available for inference has risen steeply.

3. Oxidative stress on mammalian cell cultures during recombinant protein expression
Sammanfattning : When the cell is under stress arising from oxidation, heat, infection, toxic contamination or any other stressful condition, proteins may unfold and expose residues in their structure that under normal physiological conditions are hidden and shielded from chemical reactions.In this licentiate thesis the effects of general oxidative stress on the production of recombinant protein by mammalian cells are considered.

4. The Prediction of Traffic Accident Involvement from Driving Behavior
Sammanfattning : The aim of the studies was to predict individual traffic accident involvement by the quantification of driving style in terms of speed changes, using bus drivers as subjects. An accident database was constructed from the archives of the bus company whose drivers were used as subjects. LÄS MER
5. Promoting traffic safety among young male drivers - the role of mental elaboration
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the potential of mental elaboration as a means of decreasing risky driving among young male drivers. Around 600 young male drivers participated in the three studies. LÄS MER
