1. Novel mRNA therapeutics for cardiomyogenesis and vasculogenesis
University essay from KTH/ProteinvetenskapAbstract : Kardiovaskulära sjukdomar är fortfarande en av de främsta dödsorsakerna i dag. Den främsta orsaken till sjukdomen är skador på hjärtcellerna, som kanske inte kan repareras av sig själva, så att utveckla en ny terapi för att regenerera eller reparera hjärtcellerna är ett viktigt mål inom forskningen om hjärtsjukdomar.

2. Modelling of gene regulatory and spatial mechanisms which pattern the early human neural tube
University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Tissue patterning during development is thought to be driven largely by gene regulatory responses to spatial gradients of molecular signals, known as morphogens. In this thesis, early patterning of the human neural tube is studied using two different gene regulatory network models. READ MORE

3. Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) lines deficient for genes associated with neurodevelopmental diseases using CRISPR/Cas9 technology
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can self-renew and differentiate into many other cell types. IPSCs are derived from somatic cells, and upon reprogramming, they share an expression profile similar to embryonic stem cells (ESCs). READ MORE

4. Study of up-regulated genes in gene clusters during formation of mature hepatocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells to identify transcription factors and mirnas
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : The multifunctional purpose of hepatocytes, the functional liver cells within the metabolic, endocrine and secretory functions highlights key importance in emphasizing the research and treatment methods that utilize these cells. Forming 80% of the liver's cells, hepatocytes are involved in many of the primary functions of the liver including the delivery of immune response against pathogens and aiding in the detoxification of drugs.

5. Transcriptional changes in stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes during extended cell cultures
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : The recent advancement in the field of stem cell research gave rise to high expectations from both general and scientific audiences, and indeed, stem cells and stem cell-derived cells have an enormous potential to forward the fields of medical research and regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, there are still many obstacles and limitations associated with stem cell technology. READ MORE
