  3. 2. Automatic Detection of Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Breast Cancer Whole Slide Images

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Laureanne Antoinette Josephine Brechje Geraldine van Dijk; Tara Helena Irene de Groot; [2023]
    Keywords : Lymphocytes; Image Processing; Computer-Assisted; Pathology; Deep Learning; Artificial Intelligence; Breast Neoplasms;

    Abstract : Cancer is one of the most common diseases this century, with breast cancer being the most common form. Pathological examination is used to detect and quantify Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancer Whole Slide Images (WSIs), which can be done manually or automatically. READ MORE

  4. 3. Predicting tumour growth-driving interactions from transcriptomic data using machine learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Neuroonkologi och neurodegeneration

    Author : Mathilda Stigenberg; [2023]
    Keywords : cancer; immunology; cell-cell interactions; deep learning; variational autoencoder; supervised variational autoencoder; tumour microenvironment; single-cell RNA sequencing; spatial transcriptomics; breast cancer; machine learning;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Buffer modification: A case study with polystyrene beads, DU145-, and MCF7 cell lines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Olivia Hansson Rengbrandt; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium.

  6. 5. Identifying cell type-specific proliferation signatures in spatial transcriptomics data and inferring interactions driving tumour growth

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Neuroonkologi och neurodegeneration

    Author : Felix Wærn; [2023]
    Keywords : spatial transcriptomics; breast cancer; dimensionality reduction; bioinformatics; deconvolution;

    Abstract : 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
