The nature and rates of failed, rare, or obscured core-collapse supernovae and nuclear transients
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-11-04)
In this thesis, two major types of astrophysical phenomena are discussed: corecollapse supernovae and transient events associated with supermassive black holes in the nuclei of galaxies. The physical processes and observable ...
Integrin activity regulation in mechanosensing: Integrin beta1 activity and extracellular matrix crosstalk
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-09-10)
Cell functions are highly dependent on the physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Integrins are transmembrane receptors providing the main molecular link that attaches cells to the ECM. The distinct biochemical ...
Cellular vulnerabilities of glioblastoma
