  3. 2. Characterizing the immunogenic cell death induced by Semliki Forest Virus in glioblastoma cell lines

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Aishwarya Sivaramakrishnan; [2021]
    Keywords : Glioblastoma; Immunogenic Cell Death; Oncolytic Viruses; Semliki Forest Virus; Aishwarya Sivaramakrishnan;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain tumor in humans and has a poor prognosis. Current therapies are not curative. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are being investigated as tools to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), cell death capable of activating the immune system. READ MORE

  5. 4. Patch-level classification of brain tumor tissue in digital histopathology slides with Deep Learning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

    Author : Vasileia Kampouraki; [2021]
    Keywords : histology; digital pathology; glioblastoma; deep learning; classification;

    Abstract : Histopathology refers to the visual inspection of tissue under the microscope and it is the core part of diagnosis. The process of manual inspection of histopathology slides is very time-consuming for pathologists and error-prone. Furthermore, diagnosis can sometimes differ among specialists. READ MORE

  6. 5. Differences in tumor volume for treated glioblastoma patients examined with 18F-fluorothymidine PET and contrast-enhanced MRI

    Abstract : Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor. It is a rapidly progressing tumor that infiltrates the adjacent healthy brain tissue and is difficult to treat. Despite modern treatment including surgical resection followed by radiochemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy, the outcome remains poor. READ MORE
