  2. 11. Searching for Synergy : Radiosensitization of 177Lu-DOTATATE

    Author : Sara Lundsten; Marika Nestor; Hanna Björkelund; Katarina Edwards; Julie Nonnekens; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; targeted radionuclide therapy; radiosensitization; p53; MDM2 MDM4 inhibition; HSP90; drug synergy; drug delivery; lipid nanoparticles; lipodisks; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Cancers presents a major health challenge, and there is a pressing need to develop new therapeutic strategies. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the most commonly used treatments for cancer today. Radiation can be given as targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT), i.e. READ MORE

  4. 12. Tumour targeting with stable and radioactive nuclides : Dosimetric aspects at the cellular level

    Author : Torbjörn Hartman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Biomedical Radiation Science; biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Targeting with radioactive nuclides or nuclides that can be activated by neutrons may be a powerful tool for treatment of invasive tumours and disseminated tumour cells. The targeting agents are designed to find tumour cells and deliver the nuclides. READ MORE

  5. 13. Indirect Radiohalogenation of Targeting Proteins : Labelling Chemistry and Biological Characterisation

    Author : Anna Orlova; Hans Lundqvist; Jörgen Carlsson; Lars Gedda; Jacek Capala; D.Scott Wilbur; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; radiohalogenation; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Biomedical Radiation Science; biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : In about half of all newly diagnosed cancer cases, conventional treatment is not adequately curative, mainly due to the failure of conventional techniques to find and kill residual cells and metastases, which might consist of only a few malignant cells, without causing unacceptable complications to healthy tissue. To solve the problem a more selective delivery of cytotoxic substances to tumour cells is needed. READ MORE

  6. 14. Tumor Cell Targeting of Stabilized Liposome Conjugates : Experimental studies using boronated DNA-binding agents

    Author : Erika Bohl Kullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicine; Liposome; EGF; HER-2; Targeting; boron; Biomedicin; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Biomedical Radiation Science; biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : To further develop cancer therapy, targeted delivery of cell killing agents directly to tumor cells is an interesting approach. This thesis describes the development of PEG-stabilized liposome conjugates targeting either epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) using its natural ligand EGF, or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) using the antibody trastuzumab.

  7. 15. Harnessing the molecular Trojan horse : Evaluating properties of preclinical Aβ immunoPET radioligands for optimized brain delivery via the transferrin receptor

    Author : Gillian Bonvicini; Stina Syvänen; Johanna Fälting; Dag Sehlin; Ken Honek; Sahar Roshanbin; Joy Zuchero; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transferrin receptor TfR ; bispecific antibody; brain delivery; positron emission tomography PET ; Alzheimer’s disease; pharmacokinetics; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik; Biomedical Radiation Science; Biomedicinsk strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : With high specificity and selectivity to targets, antibodies are prime candidates for positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands. They do not passively cross the blood-brain barrier which has hindered their development for imaging intrabrain targets, like amyloid-β (Aβ) in Alzheimer’s disease. READ MORE
