21. Exocytosis in Type 2 Diabetes- Functional and genetic studies of hormone secretion
Sammanfattning : Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is characterized by dysregulated beta-and alpha-cell hormone secretion leading to elevated blood glucose levels. Several proteins are crucial in maintaining exocytosis of the hormone-containing granules such as Syntaxin1A (Stx1A), SNAP25, Munc-18 (Stxbp1) and the family of Synaptotagmins (Syts). LÄS MER
22. Dissecting the role of micro-RNAs in diabetes
Sammanfattning : The role of miRNAs in pancreatic islets and β-cell function and in the development of diabetes in human and rodents have been investigated in this thesis. Dicer1 was specifically deleted in vivo in pancreatic β-cells under the RIP-promoter in mice. LÄS MER
23. Small molecule inhibitors of type III secretion and their effect on chlamydia development
Sammanfattning : Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause a variety of diseases with clinical and public health importance. Like many Gram-negative bacteria, Chlamydiae employ a type III secretion (T3S) system for invasion and establishment of a protected intracellular niche for successful replication and survival within host cells.

24. Mechanisms by which variants in the TCF7L2 gene increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a heterogeneous disease with a multifactorial aetiology comprising of genetic and environmental factors. The common variant most highly associated with T2DM known to date is a SNP rs7903146 in the TCF7L2 gene. However, the role TCF7L2 plays in the development of T2DM was unclear. LÄS MER
25. Multiple twists in the molecular tales of YopD and LcrH in type III secretion by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
Sammanfattning : The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a highly conserved secretion system among Gram negative bacteria that translocates anti-host proteins directly into the infected cells to overcome the host immune system and establish a bacterial infection. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is one of three pathogenic Yersinia spp. LÄS MER
