  1. 1. Identification and network analysis of candidate microRNA biomarkers in neuroblastoma : A meta-analysis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Andreas Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma constitutes roughly 8% of all childhood cancers where 95% of all neuroblastoma cases occur before the age of 10. The survival rate of infants and young children is very poor, which alone contributes to research novel biomarkers for classification methods, improved diagnosis and better anti-tumor therapies.

  3. 2. Cardiac hypertrophy in human stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes : Biomarker identification and pathway analysis of endotheline-1 induced cardiac hypertrophy in human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Benyapa Tangruksa; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiac hypertrophy is when heart muscles thicken as an adaptive response to several stimuli. Prolonged pathological cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure and severe cardiovascular diseases. Scientists have faced challenges in studying cardiac hypertrophy due to the lack of human cardiomyocytes available. READ MORE

  4. 3. A study of magnesium intake and its possible relation to inflammation

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Johanna Hanzon; [2016]
    Keywords : Magnesium; Inflammation; Inflammatory biomarkers; CRP; Magnesium supplement;

    Abstract : The study was initiated to examine magnesium intake, supplementation and their relation to inflammation. Magnesium is the second most abundant extracellular ion following potassium. Outside the cell, magnesium can be found in bone tissue, cardiac muscle tissue, other tissues and in the blood. READ MORE

  5. 4. Chromogranin A : potential som prognostisk biomarkör hos hund

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

    Author : Ellinor Ahlund; [2014]
    Keywords : chromogranin A; prognostisk biomarkör; sympatiska nervsystemet; hund; neuroendokrin neoplasi; hjärtsjukdom; stress; prognostic biomarker; sympathetic nervous system; dog; neuroendocrine neoplasia; heart disease;

    Abstract : SAMMANFATTNING För att få fram en prognos när ett djur uppsöker vård finns det idag olika metoder. Inga är dock perfekta och därför forskas det på biomarkörer som ska kunna berätta mer om en individs allmäntillstånd. READ MORE

  6. 5. Initial evaluation of the Meritas Troponin I test for measurement of equine cardiac troponin I

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Malin Eriksson; [2014]
    Keywords : troponin; cTnl; horse; equine; cardiac disease; cardiovascular disease; cardiac biomarker; colic;

    Abstract : Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is considered a specific and a sensitive biomarker of cardiac disease, and due to a high inter-species sequence homology; human cTnI assays can often be used in veterinary medicine. The main aim of this study was to perform an initial evaluation of a human cTnI test, the Meritas Troponin I test, for measurement of equine plasma cTnI, in order to investigate whether the test could be a possible subject for a more comprehensive validation.
