  1. 1. Exploring adaptation of self-supervised representation learning to histopathology images for liver cancer detection

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Markus Jonsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Self-supervised learning; Representation learning; Computer vision;

    Abstract : This thesis explores adapting self-supervised representation learning to visual domains beyond natural scenes, focusing on medical imaging. The research addresses the central question: "How can self-supervised representation learning be specifically adapted for detecting liver cancer in histopathology images?" The study utilizes the PAIP 2019 dataset for liver cancer segmentation and employs a self-supervised approach based on the VICReg method. READ MORE

  3. 2. A novel assay for the detection of Hepatitis C virus in blood plasma, using padlock probes and rolling circle amplification

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Andréa Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hepatitis C viral infection is a globally widespread blood-borne disease affecting the liver, causing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This type of liver cancer is mainly caused by chronic Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B. Specific detection with the following correct treatment is crucial to reduce the overall burden of the disease.

  4. 3. Investigating ERβ chromatin binding and its potential interaction with LRH-1 in an ovarian context

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Mick Phenphak; [2023]
    Keywords : estrogen receptor beta; ovary; granulosa cells; ChIP; qPCR; östrogen receptor beta; äggstock; granulosa celler; ChIP; qPCR;

    Abstract : Invasiv äggstockscancer anses vara en av de mest dödligaste gynekologiska maligniteterna. Granulosacelltumör i äggstocken är en sällsynt subtyp av äggstockstumör, som utgör 1–5% av alla äggstockstumörer. De kan kännetecknas av den långsamma tillväxthastigheten och produktionen av höga östrogennivåer. READ MORE

  5. 4. CYP2D6 loss of heterozygosity - a potential target for neuroblastoma therapy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jordan Dupuis; [2023]
    Keywords : Loss of Heterozygosity; CYP2D6; Neuroblastoma; Collateral Lethality; Precision Cancer Medicine;

    Abstract : Loss of heterozygosity events, whereby alleles are lost at heterozygous chromosomal loci, are associated with cancer formation and may result in the deletion of numerous genes encoding enzymes that have critical activities within the cell. Consequently, vulnerabilities are created that are absent in normal cells which can be targeted using a precision medicine approach called collateral lethality. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of Microfluidic 3D Cell Culture with a Nanocellulose-Based Scaffold for Spheroid Formation as a Potential Tool for Drug Screening

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sara Payande; [2022]
    Keywords : 3D cell culture; Scaffold; Microfluidics; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulose Nanofibrils; Spheroids; HepG2; 3D cellodling; Matris; Mikrofluidik; Layer-by-Layer; Cellulosa Nanofibriller; Sfäroider; HepG2;

    Abstract : Abstract  Lack of clinical relevance is assumed to be the main reason behind the high failure rate of medical drugs in the very initial phases of clinical trials. Clinical relevance is difficult to achieve with current tools as they lack the biological and physiological cues found in vivo. READ MORE
