    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Julia Wahldén; [2023]
    Keywords : Brain; cancer; glioblastoma; immune cells; immunofluorescence; tumor microenvironment; Cancer; glioblastom; immunceller; immunofluorescens; hjärnan; tumörmikromiljö;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults and represents one of the most aggressive tumor types. Despite treatment GBM remains incurable and when treated the tumor recurs more aggressive and treatment resistant than before. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identification of Immunological Targets for Brain Cancer Immunotherapy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Zhenda Wang; [2022]
    Keywords : Cancer immunotherapy; brain cancer; neoantigen; MHC HLA; TCR;

    Abstract : Background Cancer immunotherapy has yielded many successes. Yet to some hard-to-treat brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), it still lacks substantial improvement. Neoantigens resulting from mutations in malignant cells are the key targets for employing adoptive cell therapies. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigating the subcellular localisation and function(s) of dystrophin protein Dp71 isoforms in glioma

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Abdullah Al-Ani; [2022]
    Keywords : DMD; Dp71; glioblastoma; Lamin B1; cell migration;

    Abstract : The Dp71 protein is the most expressed product of the DMD gene in the nervous system. Mutation in the region codes dystrophin protein (Dp71) linked to cognitive disturbances in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. There is growing evidence that the gene is contributing to the development of Central Nervous System related cancers. READ MORE

  5. 4. Brain Tumor Grade Classification in MR images using Deep Learning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning
