  1. 21. Ouabain Toxicity -Selectivity Towards Renal Cancer Cells

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Emma Magnusson; [2020]
    Keywords : Cardiotonic steroids; ouabain; Na K -ATPase; cytotoxicity; renal cancer; apoptosis; Kardiotoniska steroider; ouabain; Na K -ATPase; cytotoxicitet; njurcancer; apoptos;

    Abstract : Ouabain and other cardiotonic steroids are known to inhibit Na + ,K + -ATPase (NKA), theion pump responsible for the ionic gradient across the plasma membrane. These steroidsdisplay a selective toxicity towards several tumour cells in comparison to primary humancells, however, the mechanism behind this is not yet understood. READ MORE

  4. 23. Automation of Kidney Perfusion Analysis from Dynamic Phase-Contrast MRI using Deep Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Andrés Martínez Mora; [2020]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Segmentation; Kidney Imaging; MRI; Flow Analysis; Chronic Kidney Disease;

    Abstract : Renal phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) is an MRI modality where the phase component of the MR signal is made sensitive to the velocity of water molecules in the kidneys. PC-MRI is able to assess the Renal Blood Flow (RBF), which is an important biomarker in the development of kidney disease. READ MORE

  5. 24. The Influence of 3D Cell Organization in Tumor Spheroid on Natural Killer Cell Infiltration and Migration

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Luigi Morrone; [2020]
    Keywords : Natural Killer Cells; Tumor Spheroids; Fluorescence Microscopy; Infiltration; Migration; Killing;

    Abstract : Natural Killer cells are a type of lymphocyte belonging to the innate immune system and they operate cell-mediated cytotoxicity and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines against cancerous cells. However, in vivo testings have shown a reduced activity of NK cells against solid tumors probably due to the negative influence of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. READ MORE
