  1. 1. Profiling the Blood Proteome in Autoimmune Disease Using Proximity Extension Assay

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Julia Asp; [2023]
    Keywords : Plasma proteomics; proximity extension assay; autoimmune disease; differential expression; machine learning; biomarkers; Plasma proteomik; proximity extension assay; autoimmuna sjukdomar; differentiellt proteinuttryck; maskininlärning; biomarkörer;

    Abstract : Autoimmuna sjukdomar är en samling komplexa, kroniska, inflammatoriska sjukdomstillstånd som kännetecknas av dysreglering av immunsystemet, vilket resulterar i inflammation och skada av vävnader, celler och organ. Dessa sjukdomar har en betydande inverkan på individens livskvalitet och bidrar ofta till ökad dödsrisk där komorbiditeter föreligger. READ MORE

  3. 2. Prediction of Persistence to Treatment for Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis using Deep Learning
