1. The effect of TRAP150 on HPV16 E1 gene regulation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a small DNA virus that is known as the causative agent in cervical cancer. The virus is found worldwide and causes more than 300 000 deaths yearly. Although there are many types of HPV, HPV16 is found in 99 % of cervical cancer cases. READ MORE

2. Differential expression and function of fubl-1 gene isoforms in C. elegans
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Alternative splicing is the process of producing a variety of transcripts from one and the same gene. This adds further possible variability to gene expression and can in theory mean that one protein coding gene can produce multiple proteins with potentially different functions. READ MORE

3. Systems biology of deregulated splicing in cancer. A pan-cancer analysis of dysfunctional splicing machinery and alternative splicing events.
University essay fromAbstract : The deregulation or disruption of the splicing process has been shown to play a role in the onset, development, and even response to treatment of some malignancies. Partly due to our incomplete understanding of the mechanism and regulation behind splicing and alternative splicing, the importance of aberrant splicing in oncogenesis is not yet understood.

4. Isoform 2 of DLG2 gene as a possible candidate tumour suppressor of neuroblastoma
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most frequent extracranial solid tumour in childhood. The clinical diagnosis of NB is difficult due to the age of the patient and the vague appearance of the symptoms. Moreover, there are two groups of aggressive NBs, one with MYCN amplification and the other with an 11q deletion. READ MORE

5. Impact of SETD2 mutation in the regulation of Autophagy in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Cells
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Background: Autophagy is an important cellular pathway in cell growth and maintenance, during which unnecessary organelles and materials in cells can be degraded. Regulation of autophagy is related to tumorigenesis. READ MORE
