    Abstract : High-throughput drug screening (HTS) in live cells is often a vital part of the preclinical anticancer drug discovery process. So far, two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell cultures have been the most prevalent model in HTS endeavors. However, 2D cell cultures often fail to recapitulate the complex microenvironments of in vivo tumors. READ MORE

  4. 12. The receptor tyrosine kinase Met and the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN2 in breast cancer

    Author : Cynthia Veenstra; Olle Stål; Gizeh Perez-Tenorio; Pietras Kristian; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer death. It is a heterogeneous disease and is subdivided into different subtypes, all with different treatment responses and survival outcomes. READ MORE

  5. 13. DNA methylation signatures in precursor lymphoid neoplasms : with focus on clinical implications & the biology behind

    Author : Zahra Haider; Sofie Degerman; Magnus Hultdin; Göran Roos; Pieter van Vlierberghe; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Precursor lymphoid neoplasms, namely acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphomas (LBL), are characterized by an aggressive proliferation of malignant progenitor B- or T-cells. To improve risk classification at diagnosis, better prognostic and treatment stratifying biomarkers are needed. READ MORE

  6. 14. Development and evaluation of a subunit DIVA vaccine against bluetongue virus serotype 8 in cattle

    Author : Jenna Anderson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []

    Abstract : Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes the primarily vector-borne bluetongue disease of ruminants, which poses a permanent threat to Europe since new serotypes and strains are frequently introduced. Vaccination of cattle is essential to control BTV outbreaks. READ MORE

  7. 15. Lutetium-177-octreotate treatment of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors - Radiation biology as basis for optimization

    Author : Johan Spetz; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Abstract : Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often have metastatic spread at the time of diagnosis. NETs frequently express somatostatin receptors (SSTR) that can be targeted by radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (e.g. 177Lu-octreotate). READ MORE
