    Abstract : Infertility is a worldwide problem and the main reason for the use of assisted reproductive technol- ogy (ART). In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is one ART treatment normally used, where the fertilization of oocytes occurs in vitro. READ MORE

  3. 2. Methodological development of human telomere sequencing with the Oxford Nanopore Technologies

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Jennifer Arnqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human DNA is protected with telomeres, which consist of the repetitive DNA-sequence TTAGGG. A 3’-overhang folds back and in combination with the shelterin complex protects the ends of the DNA. READ MORE

    Abstract : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common cardiac disease among felines, resulting in myocardial hypertrophy and subsequent decreased cardiac function. Consequently, cats may develop congestive heart failure and/or arterial thromboembolism. The disease is inherited and various mutations in sarcomeric genes have been associated with feline HCM.

  6. 5. Evaluating targeted combination therapies in EGFR wild-type non-small-cell lung cancer using mass spectrometry-based proteomics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för immunteknologi

    Author : Johan Thorsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Survival for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has been significantly improved by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with EGFR mutations. However, certain subpopulations of NSCLC patients with EGFR wild-type (wt) status have been shown to also respond to EGFR-TKIs. READ MORE
