Anmälan om utnyttjande av återvändarbidrag för beviljade postdoktorsstipendier inom medicin eller natur- och teknikvetenskap ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-01-01 till 2018-12-31

Generation of architectural polarity impacts all cell types, ranging from epithelial cells to neurons and astrocytes, relates to tissue organization and links to disease development when misregulated. ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2013-01-01 till 2016-12-31

The establishment of the musculoskeletal system of the head was tremendously important for the evolutionary transition from jawless to jawed vertebrates. The arrangement of cartilage, dermal bones, and ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

Knowledge of the evolutionary history of genes involved in developmental and physiological processes provides a foundation for understanding how specific genetic networks were established and how their ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-07-01 till 2018-06-30

The origin of discrete paired and median fins with precisely defined shapes was a key innovation during the evolution of vertebrates, dramatically enhancing their locomotory abilities relative to their ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2014-01-01 till 2016-12-31

This project aims at studying the capacity of retinal progenitors to generate retinal neurons. We will explore the possibility to generate human retina in vitro based on induced pluripotent stem-cells ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2014-12-31

Genetic control independent of sex hormones is important during the sexual differentiation of the brain. Some of these controllers might be encoded on the chromosome Y. The PI recently reported eleven ...

Vertebrates are animals of enormous ecological and economic importance. Their body plan has radiated into an astonishing range of morphologies and lifestyles, including our own. This project aims to undertake ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2016-07-01 till 2019-06-30

Chitin is an abundant biomolecule found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi and certain bacteria. In vertebrates, unequivocal evidence of chitin was first reported in 2015 by ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2017-01-01 till 2020-12-31

Tissues originate from progenitor cells that resemble each other on a molecular and morphological level. Progenitor cells make key decisions to change their identity and form divergent tissue types that ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2020-01-01 till 2023-12-31

Metabolic diseases are increasing in modern society at alarming rates, and the causes are currently known to be multifactorial. Thus, it is urgent to understand how the environment and biological mechanisms ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2012-01-01 till 2015-12-31

Endocytosis is an essential mechanism in all eukaryotes and functions in processes ranging from nutrient uptake to cell-cell signaling. Besides the classical signaling molecules, recent research has identified ...

Granen, Picea abies, är mycket viktig både ekologiskt och ekonomiskt, och ger timmer till massa, papper, byggmaterial och biobränsle. Ved består av vattentransporterande xylemceller. I det här projektet ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2021-01-01 till 2024-12-31

How does neuronal activity translate into behaviour? We use the spinal locomotor network to study how circuits are coordinated to generate a variable output. Understanding how different movement patterns ...

Forskningsprojekt från 2015-01-01 till 2017-12-31

The EGF receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases (EGFR, ErbB2-4) are key mediators of epithelial cell growth and survival and their over-activation contributes to the formation of a vast proportion ...
