    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; Obstetrics; gynaecology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancerology; secretion; Biology; Biologi; Cytology; oncology; implantation; human; endometrium; mRNA; MMP-26; TIMP-4; reproduktion; andrologi; gynekologi; Obstetrik; sexuality; reproduction; sexualitet; andrology;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to study matrix metalloproteinase-26 (MMP-26) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-4 (TIMP-4) in normal, hyperplastic, and malignant endometrium. Most importantnly, both these molecules may be ivolved in the implantation process. Trophoblast tissue from human as well as mouse embryos produces pro-MMP-9. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mesothelial differentiation, mesothelioma and tumor markers in serous cavities

    Author : Miklós Gulyás; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Mesothelium; mesothelioma; differentiation; differential gene expression; proteoglycans; tumor markers; effusion;

    Abstract : Mesothelial cells covering the serous membranes are of mesodermal origin although they acquire several characteristics of epithelial cells. The cytological and histological diagnosis of malignant tumors in serous cavities is sometimes a major challenge: the main diagnostic alternatives are reactive benign mesothelium, mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma.

  6. 4. Molecular aspects of post-Chornobyl and sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma

    Author : Andrii Dinets; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : papillary thyroid carcinoma;

    Abstract : Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) exhibits various molecular abnormalities, both when sporadic and radiation-related. PTC is still diagnosed in adult individuals who were younger than 18 years at the time of the Chornobyl accident in 1986 and lived within the contaminated area. READ MORE

  7. 5. Significance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Analysis for the Detection of Precancerous Cervical Lesions : Impact of Self Sampling

    Author : Karin Sanner; Matts Olovsson; Ingrid Wikström; Erik Wilander; Sven-Eric Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : human papilloma virus; HPV; self-sampling; organized screening; cervical cancer screening; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Abstract : Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer, with about 500 000 new cases per year among women worldwide. With a well-organized screening programme the number of cases can be reduced by more than 50%. In spite of having such a screening programme there are still around 450 new cases yearly in Sweden.
