2. 1. Building a map of the breast cancer proteome - Strategies to increase coverage

   Author : Paolo Cifani; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Quantitative proteomics; Mass-Spectrometry; Cancer; DNA repair; Hypoxia; PTMs; Sample fractionation; Database;

   Abstract : Amongst the various –omics sciences, proteomics has the highest potential for functional characterization and consequently can contribute significantly to the field of cancer research. In particular, the focus of this thesis is on breast cancer. READ MORE

4. 2. From Physicochemical Features to Interdependency Networks : A Monte Carlo Approach to Modeling HIV-1 Resistome and Post-translational Modifications

   Author : Marcin Kierczak; Jan Komorowski; Anna Tramontano; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; HIV-1; resistome analysis; drug resistance; predicting PTMs; molecular interdependency networks; MCFS-ID; feature selection; interactome; machine-learning; rough sets; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Computer Science; datavetenskap; Biology; with specialization in structural biology; biologi; med inriktning mot strukturbiologi;

   Abstract : The availability of new technologies supplied life scientists with large amounts of experimental data. The data sets are large not only in terms of the number of observations, but also in terms of the number of recorded features. READ MORE

5. 3. Post-translational modifications of proteins in human breast cancer : proteomics studies of phosphorylation and nitration and implication of these PTMs in tumorigenesis

   Author : Min Jia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Even though improvements in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have been made, it is still the most common cause of cancer death in women. There is a great need to find biomarkers for early detection of the disease and novel drug targets to fight the cancer. READ MORE

6. 4. Visualizing Interacting Biomolecules In Situ

   Author : Irene Weibrecht; Ola Söderberg; Ulf Landegren; Banafshe Larijani; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; proximity ligation; in situ PLA; padlock probe; rolling circle amplification; flow cytometry; in situ; single cell; single molecule; protein interaction; protein-DNA interaction; posttranslational modification; Molecular medicine; Molekylär medicin; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

   Abstract : Intra- and intercellular information is communicated by posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and protein-protein interactions, transducing information over cell membranes and to the nucleus. A cells capability to respond to stimuli by several highly complex and dynamic signaling networks provides the basis for rapid responses and is fundamental for the cellular collaborations required in a multicellular organism.

7. 5. Development and Application of Proximity Assays for Proteome Analysis in Medicine

   Author : Felipe Marques Souza de Oliveira; Masood Kamali-Moghaddam; Ulf Landegren; Mats Gullberg; Janne Lehtiö; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Solid-phase proximity ligation assay; post-translational modifications; glycosylation; phosphorylation; Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; immunoassay and rolling circle amplification; Proximity Extension Assay; inflammation protein biomarkers; autoantibodies; autoimmune disease;

   Abstract : Along with proteins, a myriad of different molecular biomarkers, such as post-translational modifications and autoantibodies, could be used in an attempt to improve disease detection and progression. In this thesis, I build on several iterations of the proximity ligation assay to develop and apply new adaptable methods to facilitate detection of proteins, autoantibodies and post-translational modifications.
