6. Computational prediction of cell-cell interactions in the brain-tumour microenvironment
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : 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

7. Investigating ERβ chromatin binding and its potential interaction with LRH-1 in an ovarian context
University essay from KTH/ProteinvetenskapAbstract : Invasiv äggstockscancer anses vara en av de mest dödligaste gynekologiska maligniteterna. Granulosacelltumör i äggstocken är en sällsynt subtyp av äggstockstumör, som utgör 1–5% av alla äggstockstumörer. De kan kännetecknas av den långsamma tillväxthastigheten och produktionen av höga östrogennivåer. READ MORE

8. Predicting tumour growth-driving interactions from transcriptomic data using machine learning
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Neuroonkologi och neurodegenerationAbstract : The mortality rate is high for cancer patients and treatments are only efficient in a fraction of patients. To be able to cure more patients, new treatments need to be invented. Immunotherapy activates the immune system to fight against cancer and one treatment targets immune checkpoints. READ MORE

9. Identifying cell type-specific proliferation signatures in spatial transcriptomics data and inferring interactions driving tumour growth
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Neuroonkologi och neurodegenerationAbstract : Cancer is a dangerous disease caused by mutations in the host's genome that makes the cells proliferateuncontrollably and disrupts bodily functions. The immune system tries to prevent this, but tumours have methods ofdisrupting the immune system's ability to combat the cancer. READ MORE

10. Investigations of miR-34a structure and dynamics by SHAPE MaP and optimal time between transfection and modification by qPCR
University essay from KTH/ProteinvetenskapAbstract : microRNA (miRNA) är korta icke-kodande RNA sekvenser som har fått ökande uppmärksamhet då de kan binda till mRNA och styra vårt genuttryck. Omkring trettio procent av våra proteinkodande gener styrs av miRNA. miRNA binder till mRNA vilket hindrar dess translation eller leder till nedbrytning av mRNA. READ MORE
