21. Modeling of multi-step oral carcinogenesis in vitro : assessment of growth, differentiation and apoptosis markers
Abstract : Human oral mucosa, especially the buccal epithelium, is worldwide a common site for cancer. Cancer development frequently results in inactivation of tumor suppressor p53, a central regulator of growth and programmed cell death, and deregulated expression of structural elements like cytokeratins.

22. Immune response and tumour cell detection in lymph nodes of head and neck cancer
Abstract : Many patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma present with regional spread to the cervical lymph nodes. Lymph nodes metastases are today the most important factor influencing both the treatment and outcome for this type of cancer. READ MORE

23. Studies of p63 and p63 related proteins in patients diagnosed with oral lichen planus
Abstract : Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa and also one of the more common mucosal conditions mostly affecting middle aged individuals. Even though OLP is well investigated the etiology of this disease is still unknown, even if autoimmunity as a possible etiologic factor has been suggested. READ MORE

24. Occurrence of human papillomaviruses (HPV) types in HPV related cancer and in the genital and oral tracts of young adults
Abstract : Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated to cancer of the uterine cervix, the third most common cancer among women, but also to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the sixth most common type of cancer in the world. HPV occurs in most cervical cancer (CC). READ MORE

25. Cancer biomarker discovery by in vitro systems biology
Abstract : This Thesis was made with the intention to mechanistically assess and further develop a multi-stage cell line-based (in vitro) model for oral cancer development. Efforts of establishing additional tumor cell lines for expanding the model were coupled with the application of systems biology technologies for characterization of the three entities of the start-up model, including: 1) normal, 2) immortal and non-tumorigenic, versus 3) immortal and tumorigenic stages.
