  1. 1. Identifying Graph Characteristics in Growing Vascular Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Finn Plummer; [2024]
    Keywords : Anigogenesis; Vascular Networks; Network Science;

    Abstract : One of the ways that a vascular network grows is through the process of angiogenesis, wherebya new blood vessel forms as a branch from an existing vessel towards an area which isstimulating vascular growth. Due to the demands for nutrients and waste transport, growingtumour cells will access the surrounding vascular network by inducing angiogenesis. READ MORE

  3. 2. The role of AmotL2 in the regulation of mesenchymal transitioning of endothelial cells

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Anita-Ann Monteiro; [2023]
    Keywords : Endothelial-mesenchymal transition EndMT ; atherosclerosis; transforming growth factor β TGF-β ; Angiomotin-Like 2 AmotL2 ; Scrambled Scr ; knockdown kd ; Immunofluorescence IF ;

    Abstract : Background During development, endothelial cells acquire mesenchymal-like properties to migrate and facilitate normal vascular formation. This process of transformation is known as endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT) and has also been implicated in diseases like vascular pathologies contributing to endothelial inflammation, atherosclerosis and tumour angiogenesis.

  4. 3. Digital Image Analysis using Qupath to determine immune cell content in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded murine neuroblastoma tumors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Anton Bergström Holm; [2023]
    Keywords : Neuroblastoma; Tumor-associated neutrophils TANs ; Digital image analysis; QuPath;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB), an extracranical solid tumor, is among the most prevalent cancers affecting children, particularly those under the age of five. High-risk NB presents a survival rate just below 50 %. Angiogenesis, a crucial process in NB, is induced by various pro-angiogenic factors. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Effect of Angiogenesis Inhibition on Tumor-Associated Granulocytes in an Orthotopic Model of High-Risk Neuroblastoma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Maja Hammarström; [2022]
    Keywords : neuroblastoma; tumor angiogenesis; sunitinib; SU11248; tumor-associated neutrophils; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Background: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. The survival rate in high-risk neuroblastoma is less than 50 % despite intensive multimodal therapy, and there is thus an immense need for new treatment options. READ MORE

  6. 5. Extracellular vesicles (EVs):roles in cell proliferation and transcriptomic analysis of HUVEC receiving cancerderived EVs

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Benyapa Tangruksa; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract :  Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by almost  all types of cells. EVs play an    important role in cell-to-cell communication by sending biomolecules such as mRNAs to    other cells via endocytosis. READ MORE
