  2. 1. Homeobox B13 in breast cancer : Prediction of tamoxifen benefit

    Author : Piiha-Lotta Jerevall; Olle Stål; Agneta Jansson; Håkan Hedman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : A major issue in the management of breast cancer is to identify patients who are less likely to be cured after primary treatment and would benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Of great importance is also identification of patients with only local disease who traditionally would be given chemotherapy but would survive without. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Role of the Homeobox Gene ATHB16 in Development Regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Author : Yan Wang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Arabidopsis thaliana; Homeobox gene; Functional genomics; Plant development; ATHB16; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; fysiologisk botanik; Physiological Botany;

    Abstract : There are 42 members of the homeodomain-leucine zipper (HDZip) family of transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana. This thesis focuses on the functional analysis of one member of this family, ATHB16, and on the biochemical properties of HDZip proteins. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Role of HoxB4 in Hematopoiesis

    Author : Ann Brun; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hematologi; extracellulära vätskor; Haematology; extracellular fluids; adenovirus; gene transfer; knock out; HOXB4; HOXB3; homeobox genes; hematopoietic stem cells; Transcription factors; hematopoiesis;

    Abstract : HOXB4 is one of 39 members of the homeobox (HOX) family, a family of transcription factors involved in embryonic development. Several HOX transcription factors, including HOXB4, are highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) but are downregulated upon differentiation towards more mature progeny cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biological signature of HER2-positive breast cancer

    Author : Breezy Malakkaran Lindqvist; Sten Wingren; Torbjörn Nilsson; Ingrid Hedenfalk; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HER2 breast cancer; SLC25A43; CpG island; DNA methylation; Homeobox genes; FOXO3a; FOXG1; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpressing breast cancers (HER2+ breast cancer) are associated with an aggressive disease course. This thesis is focused on improving the understanding of the biological signature of HER2+ breast cancer. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regulatory function of homeobox genes in the development of C. elegans

    Author : Yong-Guang Tong; Södertörns högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans has been widely used as a genetic model for over 40 years to investigate developmental control genes. In this thesis, I studied the roles of several homeobox genes and a novel RNA binding protein (RBD) in the development of C. elegans to understand the function of these genes in higher organisms.
