  1. 6. The effects of NOX2 and NOX4 inhibitors on panc-1 cell viability

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Karl-Hermann Sielinou Kamgang; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide and has a low survival rate 1 year after diagnosis. It is therfore important to identify new biomarkers and treatments to improve disease outcome. This experiment investigated the effects of different NOX2 and NOX4 inhibitors on Panc-1 cell lines.

    Keywords : FMCA; Anticancer drugs; Survival index; BME-gel; VEGF;

    Abstract : It is always important to choose appropriate anticancer drugs for cancer patients. At RCL, a division of Uppsala university hospital, drug resistance profiles of patients are evaluated by a cell viability assay called FMCA. READ MORE

  4. 8. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in wildlife : and a review of suggested pathogeneses

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Elina Thorsson; [2015]
    Keywords : hypertrophic osteoarthropathy; digital clubbing; osteopathy; pathogenesis; etiology; wild; exotic; zoo; hypertrofisk osteoartropati; osteopati; patogenes; etiologi;

    Abstract : In this essay suggested pathogenesis of secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is reviewed. HOA, characterized by; periostitis, periosteal proliferation of tubular bones and arthritis can develop due to many different underlying diseases. The syndrome is most commonly seen with intra-thoracic malignancy or chronic pulmonary infections. READ MORE

  5. 9. Semi-automated immunohistochemical staining of the VEGF-A-protein for clinical use and the identification in NHG-graded breast carcinoma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Engla Maria Helena Sedin; [2014]
    Keywords : CD31; grade; immunohistochemistry; invasive breast cancer; vascular endothelial growth factors;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis has a crucial influence on tumour development and identification of microvessels in malignant breast cancer tissue is an indicator for worse prognosis. Angiogenesis is partially governed by the family of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) and their receptors, by which the VEGF-A-protein seems to be the most important factor. READ MORE

  6. 10. The RECK gene and invasive cancer development : the significance of RECK in angiogenesis and inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Michelle Alexius Lindgren; [2014]
    Keywords : Reck gene; invasive cancer; development;

    Abstract : The RECK gene is a relatively new discovered gene with important implications for cancer research. The research has been primarily concentrated on the human gene with the ultimate aim to identify the invasive characteristics. Up regulated RECK is linked to significantly prolonged survival rates in patients with severe forms of malignancies. READ MORE
