Social differentials in health among lone mothers in different policy contexts : financial difficulties and employment status in relation to health
(2011-11-03)
Lone mothers report worse health compared to couple mothers in most societies, regardless of which measure of health is chosen; whether it is mental or physical health. The poorer health of lone mothers has been linked to ...
Visually induced ocular torsion
(2011-05-20)
There has been some controversy whether ocular torsion (eye rotation around the line of sight) is induced in response to a tilted visual scene. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if ocular torsion can be induced by ...
Autism spectrum disorder beyond the extreme male brain
(2016-08-24)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an umbrella-term for neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by both impairments in communication and social interaction and unusually restricted and repetitive or stereotyped interests ...
Regulation of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor expression and signaling
(2007-05-25)
Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), a member of the insulin
receptor tyrosine kinase family is a broadly expressed transmembrane
receptor that plays a key role in malignant cell growth. IGF-1R transmits
information ...
Molecular monitoring of acute graft-versus-host disease after allogenic stem cell transplantation
(2004-08-20)
Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains a major barrier to the wider application of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for a variety of diseases. GVHD occurs when the transplanted donor Tlymphocytes react ...
Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in midbrain dopaminergic neurons
(2006-04-07)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by a progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra. However, the mechanisms underlying the degeneration remain elusive and there is no cure for P1) at ...
Molecular diversity in the Notch receptor family
(2001-05-18)
We have studied the Notch family of transmembrane receptors, which play a crucial role in cell fate determination. The Notch signalling pathway represents a conserved mechanism to mediate signalling between adjacent, ...
Interaction of human blood platelets, lymphocytes and monocytes with vascular laminin isoforms
(2007-01-31)
Inflammatory and immune responses play a fundamental role in both health
and disease, and leukocytes are important actors in these processes.
Migration of the leukocytes to sites of injury or inflammation is a
crucial ...
Mechanisms of Wnt signaling : from embryonic stem cells to dopaminergic neurons
(2011-01-19)
The ability of a cell to respond in a specific way to certain signals represents key biological phenomena governing development of multicellular organism. Cellular signaling regulates all aspects of cell biology such as ...
