   University essay from

   Author : Klara Simonsson; [2023-06-27]
   Keywords : Medical physics; Breast cancer cells; radiotherapy; systemic therapy; combination therapy; apoptosis; BH3 profiling; flow cytometry;

   Abstract : Background. Today breast cancer is the foremost cancer death type amongst women around the world. At present some of the toughest challenges in the clinic is recurrent, radioresistant breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer where low cure rates are observed after surgery and radiotherapy.

3. 2. Systematic Multi-Parametric Analysis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Flow Cytometry Drug Screens using Flowty

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Augusta Jensen; [2023]
   Keywords : Acute myeloid leukemia; AML; cellular subpopulations; data analysis; precision medicine; Flowty; applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease, making it difficult to treat. The standard treatment is intensive chemotherapy and has not changed in 40 years. However, recently new drugs and as less intensive treatment regimens have been approved in the US and in Europe. However. READ MORE

4. 3. Assessment and evaluation of heterogeneity in data from immune infiltration spatial niches in lung cancer

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Mahta Keivani Najafabadi; [2023]
   Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : The protein biomarker expressions in three types of sampled immune INFILTration spatial niches in lung cancer tissue were measured using the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The three types of immune INFILTration that were observed in lung tumors were STROMA identified as immune cells separate from tumor cells, Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identified as dense structures of organized immune cells and finally Infiltraterate where immune cells dispersed among and in direct contact with tumor cells (INFILT).

5. 4. Computational prediction of cell-cell interactions in the brain-tumour microenvironment

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Paula Camargo Romera; [2023]
   Keywords : Cancer; Glioblastoma; Computational Biology; Bioinformatics; Microenvironment; Brain tumour; Interactions; Systems Biology;

   Abstract : Glioblastoma is the fastest-growing, and the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. It is normally treated with surgery and radio- or chemotherapy, but the approximate life expectancy is of 15 months with a high probability of cancer recurring. Therefore, there is a need for decreasing its severity. READ MORE

6. 5. The Potential Use of Degradable Starch Microspheres as a Carrier for Nasal Drug Administration

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Rojda Unal; [2023]
   Keywords : Pharmaceutical technology; Nasal administration; Läkemedel; Pulverformiga bärare; Sfärer; Pulverinhalation; Bärarmaterial; Läkemedelseffektivitet; Pulverteknik; Partikelformulering; Nasal deposition; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Intranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. READ MORE
