1. 6. Detection of Thymidine Kinase 1 Activity in Whole Blood Using an Oligonucleotide System

   University essay from

   Author : Heba Abdelfatah Possnert; [2014]
   Keywords : Deoxyribonucleoside kinases; cell proliferation markers; salvage pathway; hematological malignancies; therapy monitoring;

   Abstract : In today’s medical science studies, many tumor markers are being used to monitor cancer cell proliferation, but the number of assays for analysis of these markers are few. The aim of this study was to find an easier and more time-efficient way to measure the activity of a specific tumor marker called tymidine kinase 1 (TK1). READ MORE

3. 7. Studies on neurogenesis in the adult human brain

   University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

   Author : Annika Andersson; [2010]
   Keywords : Neurogenesis; subgranular zone; adult human DG; Ki67;

   Abstract : Many studies on neurogenesis in adult dentate gyrus (DG) have been performed on rodents and other mammalian species, but only a few on adult human DG.  This study is focusing on neurogenesis in adult human DG. To characterize the birth of cells in DG, the expression of the cell proliferation marker Ki67 was examined using immunohistochemistry. READ MORE

4. 8. Cell lineage tracing in the human pancreas

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

   Author : Julia Engqvist; [2007]
   Keywords : pancreas; cytochrome c oxidase; mitochondrial DNA; stem cell;

   Abstract : Background and aims: The human pancreas is normally proliferatively quiescent; however loss of cells gives a rapid regenerative response to restore a functionally healthy tissue mass. The mechanism for this is unclear and to date research has failed to identify a definitive pancreatic stem cell. READ MORE

5. 9. Osteoblast Behaviour on Injectable Biomaterials Intended for Augmentation of Vertebral Compression Fractures

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Sandra Ramstedt; [2007]
   Keywords : vertebral compression fractures; osteoblasts; injectable biomaterials; Ca-aluminate; Bis-GMA; PMMA; cell studies;

   Abstract : Biomaterials used for stabilization of compressed vertebraes due to osteoporosis, have mainly been based on resin materials, like PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), but have recently expanded to consist of injectable ceramics, such as calcium-aluminate. In this in vitro study human osteoblast-like cells, MG-63, were cultured on three different injectable biomaterials based on: Ca-aluminate, Bis-GMA (bisphenol A-glycidylmethacrylate) and PMMA, to investigate the cellular response elicited by these materials.
