    Abstract : Neuroblastom är en barncancer som uppstår ur det sympatiska nervsystemet och drabbar omkring 15 barn i Sverige varje år. Högriskvarianten är associerad med mycket hög dödlighet och risk för återfall, vilket tros ha att göra med att tumörernas ovanligt heterogena sammansättning tillåter resistenta subpopulationer att motstå konventionella behandlingsmetoder.

  3. 2. Identification and network analysis of candidate microRNA biomarkers in neuroblastoma : A meta-analysis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Andreas Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma constitutes roughly 8% of all childhood cancers where 95% of all neuroblastoma cases occur before the age of 10. The survival rate of infants and young children is very poor, which alone contributes to research novel biomarkers for classification methods, improved diagnosis and better anti-tumor therapies.

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, emerging from cells of the neural crest. In Sweden, neuroblastoma accounts for 20 cases out of all, 300-350, pediatric cancer cases each year (Barncancerfonden 2019, Turup on behalf of Cancer Centrum 2019). READ MORE

  5. 4. Utilizing data from a new, quantitative ChIP-sequencing method to investigate the dynamics of histone H3.3

    Author : Turid Everitt; [2018]
    Keywords : Epigenomics; Histone H3.3; Chromatin dynamics; ChIP-seq;

    Abstract : DNA is a key component of almost all cells, but it is not the sole determinant of the cellular functions and features. A great number of histones, transcription factors and other proteins interact with the DNA, regulating fundamental processes such as DNA accessibility and gene expression. READ MORE

  6. 5. Assessment of two optimization strategies for pediatric computed tomography examinations: Bismuth shielding & organ-based tube current modulation

    Abstract : Background: It is well known that pediatric patients are different from adult patients. Not only are children of a smaller physical size, but their anatomy differs as well. They are also more vulnerable to ionizing radiation than adults are, since their larger attributable life-time risk for cancer. READ MORE
