    • Cell lineage analysis in humans 

      Hård, Joanna (Inst för cell- och molekylärbiologi / Dept of Cell and Molecular Biology, 2021-07-29)
      Delineating a cell’s history, where it came from and what has happened to it, can provide clues as to how tissues and organs are formed and function in the healthy state and in disease. The gold standard for tracing the ...
    • Regulation of G2 phase and long-term consequences of DNA damage 

      Middleton, Anna Won (Inst för cell- och molekylärbiologi / Dept of Cell and Molecular Biology, 2021-04-08)
      Cell proliferation requires the accurate replication of DNA and equal segregation of replicated genes, important for maintaining the integrity of newly formed cells. At the centre of this process is a series of coordinated ...
    • Developmental dynamics of cardiac progenitors and their role in congenital heart defects 

      Mononen, Mimmi (Inst för cell- och molekylärbiologi / Dept of Cell and Molecular Biology, 2021-03-01)
