  2. 1. Transcriptomic and functional studies of fusion oncogene-driven salivary gland tumors

    Author : Maryam K. Afshari; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fusion oncogene; MYB; NFIB; PLAG1; HMGA2; adenoid cystic carcinoma; pleomorphic adenoma; targeted therapy;

    Abstract : Fusion genes are potent oncogenic drivers resulting from exchange of regulatory/coding sequences between two genes. They were originally identified in leukemias but are now recognized as key oncogenic events also in many solid tumors, including salivary gland tumors (SGTs). READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of gene fusions and copy number alterations in salivary and adnexal neoplasms

    Author : Marta Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : cancer genetics; fusion oncogenes; chromosome translocation; MYB; NFIB; CRTC1; MAML2; salivary gland; breast; adenoid cystic carcinoma; mucoepidermoid carcinoma; hidradenoma;

    Abstract : Cancer is a genetic disease caused by the accumulation of genetic changes such as mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. An increasing number of genetic studies of both hematological and solid neoplasms have shown that recurrent chromosome translocations often result in fusion oncogenes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Generation of human astrocytes for disease modeling. A study based on stem cells, direct conversion and genome engineering to dissect the role of astrocytes in leukodystrophies

    Author : Ella Quist; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Astrocytes; Stem Cells; transcription factor programming; direct conversion; genome engineering; CRISPR Cas9; leukodystrophy;

    Abstract : Astrocytes are one of the major cell types in the central nervous system and are indispensable for brain development and function. The human brain and human astrocytes have unique structures and functions that are not present in other animal species. READ MORE
