1. Targeted Inhibition of Polycomb Repressive Complexes in Multiple Myeloma : Implications for Biology and Therapy
Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy of antibody producing plasmablasts/plasma cells. MM is characterized by extensive genetic and clonal heterogeneity, which have hampered the attempts to identify a common underlying mechanism for disease establishment and development of appropriate treatment regimes. LÄS MER
2. Towards forecasting epigenetic repression
Sammanfattning : Multicellular organisms form many different cell types from one genome, which requires differential gene activity. The Polycomb system upholds the correct gene expression programs by epigenetically silencing genes that encode critical transcription regulators. LÄS MER
3. Tumour Survival Signals and Epigenetic Gene Silencing in Multiple Myeloma : Implications for Biology and Therapy
Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on multiple myeloma (MM), a haematological malignancy that still remains incurable. The pathogenesis of MM is not fully understood and there is a large intra-tumour and interclonal genetic variation in MM patients. LÄS MER
4. Epigenetic gene regulation in multiple myeloma and mood disorders
Sammanfattning : Epigenetics continues to be redefined and new discoveries are likely to revolutionise the field still further. This thesis explores different aspects of how epigenetic regulation of gene expression contributes to human disease. LÄS MER
5. Expression and function of Suppressor of zeste 12 in Drosophila melanogaster
Sammanfattning : The development of animals and plants needs a higher order of regulation of gene expression to maintain proper cell state. The mechanisms that control what, when and where a gene should (or should not) be expressed are essential for correct organism development. LÄS MER
