  2. 1. Malignant glioma : experimental studies with an estrogen-linked cytostatic

    Author : Eva von Schoultz; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; malignant glioma; meningioma; glioma cells; sex steroids; estramustine; nor-nitrogen mustard; estramustine- binding protein; DNA damage; cell membrane;

    Abstract : Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Patients with these highly malignant tumors have an extremely poor prognosis. The situation with a highly proliferative tumor in a non-proliferating tissue should favor cytostatic treatment but so far the role of conventional chemotherapy has been adjunctive. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulatory Proteins in Progenitors and Differentiated Cells of the Human Prostate

    Author : Jens Ceder; Malmö (Abrahamsson) Urologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mesenchymal stem cells; somatostatin; transit amplifying cells; cell differentiation; adult stem cells; Prostate gland; prostatic benign hyperplasia; neuroendocrine cells; prostate cancer;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) develops from an androgen-dependent tissue that contains androgen receptors in both the stromal and glandular compartments. Surgical removal of the prostate may cure the patient, but if metastatic spread has occurred, androgen suppression therapy is the standard treatment. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hypoxia and differentiation in human neuroblastoma cells

    Author : Helén Nilsson; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ontogeny; embryology human ; Utvecklingsbiologi; teratologi; embryologi människa ; teratology; cytogenetik; Development biology; cytogenetics; Genetik; Genetics; Medicin människa och djur ; HIF; Medicine human and vertebrates ; MYCN; Hypoxia; differentiation; Neuroblastoma;

    Abstract : The childhood tumour neuroblastoma is derived from immature cells of the sympathetic nervous system, which have become arrested at different maturation stages. Neuroblastoma is a malignancy with a high degree of heterogeneity, and there is a correlation between a poor differentiation status and a more aggressive phenotype. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genomic and Molecular Aspects of Mature Human B Cells

    Author : Carl-Magnus Högerkorp; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Human; B-cell; Germinal center; Centroblast; serology; Immunology; onkologi; cancer; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Microarray; Cytology; Mantel cell lymphoma; Immunologi; serologi; Centrocyte;

    Abstract : This thesis covers aspects of the mature human B cell and its different guises on its way to become a fully differentiated antibody forming plasma cell (AFC), the key player in the humoral immune system. The understanding of the complex molecular mechanisms taking place in the B cell, as it first encounters antigen, enters the germinal center (GC) reaction, giving rise to memory cells and plasma cells, is not only of importance for the curious scientist, but will also benefit the understanding of B cells in disease.
