  2. 6. Mantle cell lymphoma strategies in primary treatment

    Author : Alexandra Albertsson Lindblad; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mantle cell lymphoma; registry data; Clinical Trial; Phase I; Clinical Trial; Phase II; rituximab; bendamustine; lenalidomid; ibrutinib; ADCC; in vitro model; TP53 mutations; watchful waiting; mantle cell lymphoma; real-world data; lenalidomide; rituximab; bendamustin; ibrutinib; ADCC; TP53 mutation; CDKN2A; NGS; MIPI; Watchful waiting;

    Abstract : Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is associated with poor prognosis due to an aggressive clinical course. Being a rare disease, there are few randomized trials in MCL and there is no defined golden standard in primary treatment. READ MORE

  4. 7. Advancing Evolutionary Biology: Genomics, Bayesian Statistics, and Machine Learning

    Author : Tobias Andermann; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computational biology; bioinformatics; phylogenetics; neural networks; NGS; target capture; Illumina sequencing; fossils; IUCN conservation status; extinction rates;

    Abstract : During the recent decades the field of evolutionary biology has entered the era of big data, which has transformed the field into an increasingly computational discipline. In this thesis I present novel computational method developments, including their application in empirical case studies. READ MORE

  5. 8. Hunting a Silent Killer. Biomolecular Approaches in Ovarian Cancer

    Author : Nicolai Arildsen; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ovarian cancer; Molecular biology; genetic variant; TP53 mutation; early detection; Drug Screening Assays; Antitumor; bioinformatics; next generation sequencing; NGS; prognostic and predictive biomarkers; ovarian clear cell cancer; high-grade serous ovarian cancer;

    Abstract : Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease and recent advances in improving patient outcome havebeen limited. It is estimated that a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 70, making it a frequently occurring cancer type in women. READ MORE

  6. 9. Using genetics to identify epigenetic and signal transduction targets in cancer

    Author : Joydeep Bhadury; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; BETi; HDACi; ATRi; miRNA; NGS; PDX; CDX;

    Abstract : Cancer arises mostly due to the stepwise acquisition of untamed growth capabilities by various means, ranging from genetic, epigenetic to environmental factors. With the advancement made in molecular biology and associated fields, the complex biological circuits leading to these pathological conditions have now started to be deciphered in-depth. READ MORE

  7. 10. Genetic Studies of Immunological Diseases in Dogs and Humans

    Author : Matteo Bianchi; Gerli Rosengren Pielberg; Marta Alarcón-Riquelme; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; complex disease; immunogenetics; autoimmunity; GWAS; NGS; canine model; dog; hypothyroidism; Addison s disease; IFNA; BACH2; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents genetic studies aiming at enlarging our knowledge regarding the genetic factors underlying two immune-mediated diseases, hypothyroidism and autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD), in dogs and humans, respectively.Genetic and environmental factors are indicated to contribute to canine hypothyroidism, which can be considered a model for human Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT).
