    Abstract : Internal fertilization usually implies that a spermatozoon, with intact attributes for zygote formation, passes all hurdles during its transport through the female genitalia and reaches the oocyte. During this journey, millions to billions of other spermatozoa perish. READ MORE

  4. 2. Microphysiometry in the evaluation of cytotoxic drugs with special emphasis on the novel cyanoguanidine CHS 828

    Author : Sara Ekelund; Sigurd Vitols; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Cytotoxic drug development; Cytosensor microphysiometer; cellular metabolism; CHS 828; guanidino-containing compound; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; klinisk farmakologi; Clinical Pharmacology;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the use of a new technology, the Cytosensor® microphysiometer, in the in vitro evaluation of cytotoxic drugs, using the lymphoma cell line U-937 GTB and primary cultures of tumour cells from patients as model systems. The method was specifically applied to study the metabolic effects of the novel cyanoguanidine N-(6-(4-chlorophenoxy)hexyl)-N’-cyano-N’’-4-pyridylguanidine, CHS 828, currently in phase I/II clinical trials.

  5. 3. Adaptive mechanisms in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Functional role of proteoglycans and identification of potential treatment targets

    Author : Julien Menard; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Keywords : Hypoxia; Acidosis; Proteoglycans; Endocytosis; Glioblastoma; Lipid; Caveolin-1; Antibody-drug conjugate;

    Abstract : Cancer cells reside in a complex microenvironment comprising stromal cells and immune cells embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM). Early on in tumor progression, cells reach a critical volume beyond which blood supply is impaired, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels (hypoxia) and nutrient supply. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cisplatin-induced tumor cell death signaling and potentiation by energy metabolism inhibitors

    Author : Linda Strandberg Ihrlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Treatment of cancer is associated with challenges including the tumor development of resistance. By elucidating intracellular signal transduction pathways elicited by therapy it is possible to identify structures and processes crucial for induction of cell death. The aim is to exploit this knowledge to improve treatment strategies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in pancreatic cancer cell aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance and the potential role for pancreatic endocrine cells in islet transplantation

    Author : Xiaohui Jia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tissue hypoxia results from an inadequate supply of oxygen (O2) that compromises biologic functions in various tissues, including both normal and malignant. It is known that a heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) mainly mediates this critical adaptation. READ MORE
