2. 1. Strategies for Miniaturized Biomarker Detection

   Author : Belinda Adler; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomarker; miniturization; lab-on-a-chip; proteomics; PSA; microarray; mass spectrometry; MALDI MS; SPE; sample preparation; immunoaffinity; antibody; aptamer; mass tag; ISET.;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is development and application of different miniaturized strategies for detection of biomarkers. The biomarker PSA (prostate specific antigen), which is prostate cancer specific, has been the main focus of the thesis. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular Tools for Biomarker Detection

   Author : Lei Chen; Ulf Landegren; Niko Hildebrandt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rolling circle amplification; padlock probe;

   Abstract : The advance of biological research promotes the emerging of new methods and solutions to answer the biological questions. This thesis describes several new molecular tools and their applications for the detection of genomic and proteomic information with extremely high sensitivity and specificity or simplify such detection procedures without compromising the performance.

5. 3. Type IV collagen in breast and colorectal cancer : a potential biomarker of metastatic disease

   Author : Moa Lindgren; Hanna Nyström; Ingrid Ljuslinder; Malin Sund; Kristian Pietras; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Colorectal cancer; colorectal liver metastases; breast cancer; breast cancer metastases; tumor marker; biomarker; stroma; type IV collagen;

   Abstract : Background: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic breast cancer (mBC) are two leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Early detection of metastatic disease is critical, and sensitive, easily accessed and cost-effective biomarkers that can diagnose mBC and mCRC at an early stage would have high clinical value.

6. 4. Nuclease Activity as a Biomarker in Cancer Detection

   Author : Alien Balian; Frank Hernandez; Kajsa Uvdal; Baris Ata Borsa; Ester Boix Borrás; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nucleases; Nuclease activity; Cancer detection; Diagnosis; Oligonucleotides; Nucleic acid probes; MRI-probes; Activatable probes;

   Abstract : Nucleases are a group of enzymes that cleave the phosphodiester bonds in nucleic acids. As such, nucleases act as biological scissors that exhibit a plethora of fundamental roles, in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, dependent or non-dependent on their catalytic capability. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of novel bioanalytical assays with single-molecule readout for biomarker detection and drug candidate characterization

   Author : Olov Wahlsten; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; QCM-D; biomarker detection; TIRF microscopy.; Bioanalytical assay; spectrofluorometry; fluorescence; single-molecule readout; drug discovery; liposomes;

   Abstract : Bioanalytical assays with single-molecule readout for studying molecular interactions have in the past decades received increasing attention. The high sensitivity often offered by this readout scheme has for example enabled ultra-sensitive analyte detection, having important implications for monitoring early disease progression and the effects of drug treatment.
