1. Regulation of survival and proliferation of human intestinal epithelial cells by leukotriene D4
Sammanfattning : The pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. LÄS MER
2. Amphiphilic Molecules in Aqueous Solution
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate amphiphilic molecules in aqueous solution. The work was divided into two parts. In the first part the effects of different counterions on phase behavior was investigated, while the second part concerns the 1-monooleoyl-rac-glycerol (MO)/n-octyl-β-D-glucoside (OG)/2H2O-system.

3. RICH-1, a Multifunctional RhoGAP Domain-containing Protein, Involved in Regulation of the Actin Filament System and Membrane-trafficking
Sammanfattning : The Rho GTPases, which are related to the Ras family of proto-oncogenes, have been found to have important roles in regulating the morphogenic and migratory properties of eukaryotic cells. In addition, these proteins have been shown to regulate aspects of cell signaling, cell growth, cell division and cell survival. LÄS MER
4. Understanding and targeting the architecture in cancer : novel therapies in neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma
Sammanfattning : Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide after cardiovascular diseases. In Sweden, childhood cancer is the most common cause of death in children 1-14 years of age. Owing to advances in treatment and a better understanding of tumor biology, survival rates have increased to over 80% in most Western countries. LÄS MER
5. Changes in neuronal properties induced by neurotropic infections
Sammanfattning : The nervous system can be the target for various bacterial and viral infectious agents. Certain bacterial toxins have been found to impair specific proteins, such as proteins involved in transmitter release and in the regulation of the cytoskeleton. LÄS MER
