16. Functional Studies of Genes Associated with Muscle Growth in Pigs and Hair Greying in Horses
Sammanfattning : Domestic animals have become very different from their wild ancestors during domestication and animal breeding. This provides a good model to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation. In my thesis I have studied genes affecting two important traits, leanness in pigs and hair greying-associated melanoma in horses. LÄS MER
17. Interaction Between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Human Neutrophils
Sammanfattning : Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of tuberculosis, is responsible for more deaths each year than any other single pathogen. Mononuclear phagocytes and T cells are crucially involved in the control and local containment of this infection. Less is known about the contribution of neutrophils to control tuberculosis. LÄS MER
18. Studies of SNAP-25 in regulated membrane fusion : metabolic consequences and tuning of intracellular Ca(2+) dynamics in beta cells
Sammanfattning : Increased release of insulin is usually regarded as a symptom of metabolic syndrome, contributing to insulin resistance in peripheral organs thus affecting glucose and insulin homeostasis. The existing animal models to address the metabolic syndrome are currently not optimal. LÄS MER
19. Pathophysiological effects of alpha-synuclein on SNARE complex proteins in models of alpha-synucleinopathies
Sammanfattning : Accumulation and spread of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates are central to the disease pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, collectively known as α-synucleinopathies. Native α-syn is a monomeric presynaptic protein that can act as a molecular chaperone for the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex assembly. LÄS MER
20. CFTR in pancreatic islets
Sammanfattning : AbstractCystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the anion channel and protein regulator CFTR. The most common co-morbidity in CF is CF-related diabetes (CFRD) affecting ~50% of adult patients. The etiopathology of CFRD is largely unknown but the destruction of the exocrine pancreas is thought to contribute. LÄS MER
