2. 21. Repressing the hedgehog signalling pathway

   Author : Jessica Svärd; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway is essential for metazoan development and aberrant activation of the pathway is found in tumours. Mutations in Hh pathway components are found in several tumour types, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and medulloblastoma (MB). READ MORE

4. 22. Regulation of Hedgehog signalling during development and carcinogenesis

   Author : Marie Fiaschi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hedgehog (Hh) signalling is one of the most important signalling networks in the body and, when miss-regulated, has been implicated in many human tumours, particularly that of skin (Basal Cell Carcinoma, BCC) and brain (medulloblastoma). BCC most commonly arises due to mutations in the gene sequence of the Hh receptor protein PATCHED1 (PTCH1). READ MORE

5. 23. Photodynamic therapy- pain and aspects of pain relief

   Author : Christina Halldin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : actinic keratosis; field cancerization; interviews; nerve block; pain; photodynamic therapy; transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation;

   Abstract : Photodynamic therapy – pain and aspects of pain relief Christina Halldin Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute of Clinical Sciences at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment option for superficial basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ or Bowen’s disease (BD), and actinic keratoses (AK). One of the advantages of PDT is the possibility to treat field cancerization. READ MORE

6. 24. Stem cells and development : studies on SUFU and LGR5

   Author : Maria Hölzl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Embryonic development and cancer formation appear quite different from each other at first glance, yet they share common characteristics such as the reliance on certain signalling pathways. The Hedgehog (HH) and WNT signalling cascades play key roles in a variety of developmental processes where deregulation of these pathways result in a diversity of birth defects. READ MORE

7. 25. ALA and m-ALA in bicontinuous lipid formulations: -Characterization and Transdermal Delivery

   Author : Johanna Bender; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; passive diffusion; SAXS; monoolein; methyl 5-aminolevulinate hydrochloride; NMRD; sponge phase; 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride; iontophoresis;

   Abstract : δ-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and its methyl ester (m-ALA) are both used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of certain non melanoma skin cancers as the basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In PDT the cancer cells are destroyed by a photochemical reaction that occurs when a photosensitive molecule is irradiated with light of a certain wavelength. READ MORE
