  1. 1. Investigation of endogenous p21 expression and its correlation to therapy resistance in high-risk neuroblastoma

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Agnes Sorteberg; [2021]
    Keywords : p21; high-risk neuroblastoma; small molecular inhibitor; chemo-resistance; combination treatment;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer with a highly complex nature. High-risk NB patients undergo intensive treatment regimens that are often followed by long-term side effects. This, in addition to the emergence of resistant cancer cells, highlights a need for novel therapeutic targets and treatment strategies to improve outcome in NB. READ MORE

  2. 2. New potential treatment protocol for radiotherapy of glioblastoma

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Victor Pham; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Purpose: Improvements in mortality rate of glioblastoma patients have been limited during the past decades, due to the tumor’s rapidly growing and infiltrative behavior and resistance to current therapy. Recent findings show that higher brain mean dose strongly correlates with inferior overall survival and that local recurrences mainly occur centrally in previously irradiated regions. READ MORE

  3. 3. Mapping the present-day chemical abundance structure of the Solar neighbourhood: O & Si

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Kristiina Verro; [2017]
    Keywords : astrophysics; stellar spectroscopy; abundance analysis; solar neighbourhood; massive stars; Galaxy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context. Large scale chemical abundance gradients in the Galactic disks, small-scale abundance structures, and the mean chemical abundance values in the Solar vicinity, are important constraints to Galactic chemo-dynamical formation and evolution models. READ MORE

  4. 4. Investigating the Effect of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and Retinoic acid on Viability, Differentiation and Migration in NB69 and T47D cells.

    Keywords : neuroblastoma; breast cancer; retinoic acid; vitamin D; cancer; proliferation; differentiation; migration;

    Abstract : Cancer is a well-known disease that many people encounter in their lifetime. There is constantly research being performed on cancer to find treatments for those types where none has been found, or even find better or more efficient treatments for those cancer types where there already is treatment available.
