  1. 1. Effects of phosphorylation on the ADP-ribosylation activity of PARP16

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Virginia Martín Cristóbal; [2023]
    Keywords : ADP-ribosylation; Kinases; PARP16; Phosphorylation; UPR biochemistry; Biochemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : PARP16/ARTD15 is an intracellular mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase that catalyzes auto- and heteromodification by transfer of a single ADP-ribose moiety. It belongs to the ADP-ribosyltransferase (ART) superfamily. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tuning physical and chemical attributes of the synthetic implant poly(L-lactic acid) and its effects on biological stimulation

    University essay from

    Author : Gabriella Sverlinger; Felicia Norman; Nora Othman; Wilma Hämäläinen; Michaela Thyberg; Maja Jonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Polylactic acid; degradation rate of PLLA; physio- chemical properties of PLA; injectable PLLA;

    Abstract : Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a polymer chain consisting of repeating units of lactic acid (LA) used in various biomedical applications because of its biocompatible features. It is commonly used as a subdermal filler and constitutes as the main ingredient in SculptraR, which is a collagen regenerating filler used to treat lipoatrophy of the cheeks or to rejuvenate the skin.

  4. 3. Development and testing of in-house automatized spatial omics data analysis tool : NIPMAP (Niche-Phenotype Mapping)

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Raziyeh Mohseni; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The functional and anatomical characteristics of cancer cells vary among patients. Additionally, therapeutic approaches display varying responses in different individuals and cancer types due to the anatomical and functional complexity of tumor. READ MORE

  5. 4. Comparison of deep learning and model-based approaches for spatial profiling of the immune tumor environment on multiplex image data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Esraa Ahmed; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The demographics of the tumor microenvironment (TME) impact the Immunotherapy responses for lung cancer patients. Given the heterogeneity of immune cells present within TME, the distribution patterns of different subpopulations of T-cells can be exploited to predict short-term or long-term survival of lung cancer patients.

  6. 5. 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
