  2. 16. Functional studies of microRNAs in development and cancer

    Author : Jakob Lovén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : MicroRNAs (miRNAs) COMPRISE a large family of small (~23 nucleotide in length), endogenous RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. Functional studies have indicated that miRNAs participate in the regulation of nearly all cellular processes investigated so far, including differentiation, apoptosis, and proliferation. READ MORE

  4. 17. Novel Cutaneous Human Papillomaviruses and Biomarkers in the Skin Lesions

    Author : Natasa Vasiljevic; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prevalence; E7 protein; Non-melanoma skin cancer; biomarkers; keratoachantoma; Human papillomavirus;

    Abstract : Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), comprising of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), is the most prevalent cancer amongst Caucasians. The main risk factor for the development of NMSC is UV-irradiation but human papillo-mavirus (HPV) might be a co-factor. READ MORE

  5. 18. MiRNAs in cancer

    Author : Masako Harada; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There are many layers of complexity involving the processes through which somatic cells transform into malignant cancers. Historically, cancer was considered to be a disease primarily caused by gene mutations, however it is now well established that the dysregulated expression of the genes leading to the tumorigenic phenotype involves not only mutations but also epigenetic changes.

  6. 19. Understanding Skin Cancer Risk and Prevention : with Emphasis on Actinic Keratosis Patients

    Author : Ghassan Guorgis; Magnus Falk; Chris Anderson; Magdalena Claeson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The rising incidence of skin cancer globally makes it important to emphasize preventive measures that promote sun protection, particularly among individuals with phenotypic predisposition and/or risky sun habits. Actinic keratosis (AK) is the predominant actinic lesion observed in fair-skinned populations, recognized as a sign of actinic skin damage and as an occasional precursor to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

  7. 20. Urinary thymine dimer as a biomarker of exposure to ultraviolet radiation

    Author : Tove Sandberg Liljendahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is associated with all three major forms of skin cancer; squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). Different exposure patterns are suggested to influence the development; SCC and BCC have been linked to occupational (continuous) expo-sure and CMM, and to some extent BCC to intermittent exposure.
