    Author : William Tirmén; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Artificial intelligence; Digital pathology; Image processing; Generative adversarial networks; Image-to-image translation;

    Abstract : In digital pathology, hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) is a routine stain which is performed on most clinical cases and it often provides clinicians with sufficient information for diagnosis. However, when making decisions on how to guide breast cancer treatment, immunohistochemical staining of human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2 staining) is also needed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Exploring a unique pocket in Galectin-8N by the synthesis of D-galactoside-based benzimidazole inhibitors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Sid Bartold; [2023]
    Keywords : organic chemistry; synthesis; gal; gal-8; gal-8N; galectin; galectin-8; galectin-8N; inhibitor; drug development; benzimidazole; galactoside; carbohydrate; carbohydrate chemistry; Suzuki-coupling; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Galectins are a family of glycan-binding proteins where galectin-8 is a part of the subgroup known as tandem-repeat type galectins. Galectin-8 is composed of two homologous CRDs, one N- and one C-terminal CRD. As it stands now, galectin-8N has been found to bind to a larger number of glycans than galectin-8C. READ MORE

  5. 4. Seeing Lithium Extraction : Countering the Myth of ‘Green’ Transition through Contemporary Art
