  2. 1. Biological optimization of angle of incidence and intensity modulation in breast and cervix cancer radiation therapy

    Author : Brigida Costa Ferreira; Anders Brahme; Roger Svensson; Ion Christian Chiricuta; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; biological treatment planning; angle of incidence optimization; intensity modulation; breast and cervix cancer; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi;

    Abstract : Biological treatment optimization aim at improving radiation therapy by accounting for the radiobiological tumour and normal tissues response properties when optimizing the dose delivery. Generally traditional methods, using only dosimetrical measures, disregard the nonlinear radiation response of different tumours and normal tissues. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular and cytogenic studies of oncogene alterations in human breast and cervical carcinomas

    Author : Anju Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Breast cancer; cervical cancer; oncogene; gene amplification; hTERT;

    Abstract : Characterization of human tumors with associated genetic changes is of importance for better understanding the tumor's basic biological behavior and of great value for clinical management of cancer patients. We therefore investigated oncogene amplifications in human breast and cervical carcinomas using molecular and cytogenetic methods, especially FISH. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mitotic failure and genome stability in benign, premalignant and malignant human tissues

    Author : Rüdiger G Steinbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : aneuploidy; CDF; clonal selection; DNA content; image microphotometry; interphase; microsection; nondisjunction; unbalanced telophase;

    Abstract : Mitotic failure may occur throughout the human lifespan. Individual nuclear mistakes will escape detection within the mass of somatic cells. The probability of nondetection increases with progression in development. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterizing cancer cell signaling at the protein level : from targeted to proteome and phosphoproteome­‐wide analyses

    Author : Elena Panizza; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Proteins are the effectors of cellular functions and the constituting elements of cellular signaling cascades. The ability to analyze the abundances and the dynamics of proteins is central to dissect cellular signaling and its effects on cell physiology. READ MORE

  7. 5. The human antimicrobial peptide hCAP18 in epithelial defense

    Author : Margareta Frohm Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Innate immunity; host defense; antimicrobial peptide; hCAP 18; LL-37; epithelia; wounds; breast cancer;

    Abstract : Gene-encoded antimicrobial peptides serve a protective role in host defense. They are multifunctional effector molecules in innate immunity - the nonadaptive immune system -with the capacity to kill a broad spectrum of microorganisms. READ MORE
