  1. 21. Classification of Neuronal Subtypes in the Striatum and the Effect of Neuronal Heterogeneity on the Activity Dynamics

    University essay from KTH/Beräkningsvetenskap och beräkningsteknik (CST)

    Author : Bo Bekkouche; [2016]
    Keywords : Computational neuroscience; Striatum; Single-cell sequencing; Medium spiny neuron;

    Abstract : Clustering of single-cell RNA sequencing data is often used to show what states and subtypes cells have. Using this technique, striatal cells were clustered into subtypes using different clustering algorithms. Previously known subtypes were confirmed and new subtypes were found. One of them is a third medium spiny neuron subtype. READ MORE

  3. 22. Green and red fluorescent protein tagging of endogenous proteins in glioblastoma using the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jenny Lindvall; [2016]
    Keywords : Glioblastoma; Cancer stem cells; CRISPR Cas9; Nestin; GFAP; GFP; RFP;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma multiforme is the most malignant primary brain tumor that affects adults, recognized by the World Health Organization as an aggressive grade IV astrocytoma. Patients diagnosed with this type of tumor are left with a poor prognosis even with the most advanced treatment available. READ MORE

  4. 23. Trends in Incidence of Haematological Malignancies in Kenya: 2000-2013

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Epidemiologi och global hälsa

    Author : Linda Akinyi Ogol; [2016]
    Keywords : Haematological Malignancies; HMs; Kenya; 2000-2013; Cancer;

    Abstract : Introduction: Haematological malignancies (HMs) are a rare and diverse group of malignancies accounting for 9% of cancers globally. These group of malignancies differ by age, sex, subtypes, morphology and geography. The burden and the patterns of diversity of HMs is poorly understood in low and middle-income countries including Kenya. READ MORE

  5. 24. Increased expression, but not insertion of L1 retrotransposons in aged neural stem and progenitor cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Jonas Fritze; [2015]
    Keywords : Retrotransposons; Aging; Neural Stem Cells; LINE1; APOBEC3; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Retrotransposons are mobile elements that build up an extensive part of our genome, and can create genomic instability through new insertions. LINE1 is a subtype of transposons that are still active in human and mice, and can both copy themselves, and assist other retroelements to new insertions, but are strongly regulated by different enzymes.

  6. 25. Role of Aurora kinase in Medulloblastoma development with correlation to MYCN activity

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Rashmi Chowath; [2015]
    Keywords : brain tumor; N-Myc; primary cilium; aurora kinase;

    Abstract : Brain tumors are abnormal tissue masses found, either malignant or benign in nature. Medulloblastoma is a brain tumor subtype found to arise in the hind region of the brain, which is highly malignant and has poor long term prospects in general. READ MORE
