  1. 1. Predicting Chemical-Gene Interactions

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Ali Chishti; [2023-08-04]
    Keywords : Pesticides; Small streams; Prediction modelling; Chemical-protein-gene interactions; Aquatic organisms;

    Abstract : Pesticide use in agriculture has become a growing concern as it can have detrimental effects on the environment. The excessive use of these chemicals often leads to them seeping into nearby water bodies, causing harm to aquatic organisms. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Examination of pathway crosstalk and functional modules in papillary thyroid cancer dedifferentiation to anaplastic thyroid cancer

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Maria Panagiota Theodorou; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thyroid cancer, comprising well-differentiated follicular and papillary types, alongside less common medullary and anaplastic subtypes with poor prognoses, exhibits specific anaplastic cases resulting from papillary dedifferentiation, lacking precise molecular evidence. Utilizing Metascape, CTpathway and PathwAX II, the study integrates functional modules and pathway crosstalk for dedifferentiation analysis, conducting a comprehensive two-dimensional assessment of toolset’s functionality, compatibility, and interoperability.

  5. 4. Functional Characterisation of Effectors from Biotrophic and Necrotrophic Wheat Pathogens in Heterologous Expression Systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Mark Melchior; [2023]
    Keywords : wheat; Blumeria graminis; Parastagonospora nodorum; effectors;

    Abstract : Effector proteins play an important role in the interactions between fungal pathogens and their host plant. Recognition of effectors can lead to localised cell death in plants. The necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum utilises this mechanism to induce cell death in wheat and cause Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB). READ MORE

  6. 5. Dental Caries and Self-Reported Type 2 Diabetes

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Tandläkarutbildning

    Author : Bashar Assani; Ibrahim Hamza; [2023]
    Keywords : CARIES; diabetes; T2DM;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Patients with poorly controlled blood sugar levels and type 2 diabetes have been suggested to be at greater risk of tooth decay; however, the number of studies on this topic is scarce. This study aims to evaluate the association between self-reported diabetes, blood sugar levels, and dental caries in Swedish 40-year-old Swedes. READ MORE
