  2. 1. Mechanisms of therapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    Author : Kinjal Shah; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALL; B-ALL; T-ALL; dexamethasone; FLT3; Signaling pathways; BCL2; resistance; PLK1; synergy;

    Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a highly aggressive pediatric cancer that can affect both B cells and T cells. The advent of new therapies has increased the cure rates for both B-ALL and T-ALL patients. However, some patients still experience relapse with a variable response to the treatment and display poor survival. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cell cycle regulation and DNA damage response : a record of polo-like kinase 1 activity

    Author : Elvira Hukasova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Division and cell proliferation is an essence of life. A human cell has in its core a very simple yet a very complex machinery to coordinate cell cycle activities and events. READ MORE

  5. 3. Targeting polo-like kinase 1 in pediatric leukemia

    Author : Oksana Goroshchuk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most common cancers among children in the world, with almost 90% complete remission rate after the primary treatment. However, some patients are resistant to treatment and some relapse later. Moreover, existing treatments are toxic and induce life-long adverse effects. READ MORE

  6. 4. Adhesion-dependent mechanisms regulating mitosis

    Author : Deepesh Kumar Gupta; Staffan Johansson; Kaisa Haglund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytokinesis; Centrosome; Septin; Abscission; Mitosis; Integrin; Adhesion; Binucleation; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Integrin-mediated cell adhesion is required for normal cell cycle progression during G1-S transition and for the completion of cytokinesis. Cancer cells have ability to grow anchorage-independently, but the underlying mechanisms and the functional significance for cancer development are unclear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanisms of multicellular drug resistance and novel approaches for targeted therapy in cancer

    Author : Elin Edsbäcker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dysregulated gene expression, due to genetic and epigenetic aberrations, as well as cancer cell-stroma interactions underlie both tumorigenesis and resistance to anti-cancer therapy. Although governed by common mechanisms, these features are unique to each individual tumor and therefore a personalized treatment regimen needs to be composed for each patient. READ MORE
