  2. 1. Utilization of single-cell RNA-Seq and genome-scale modeling for investigating cancer metabolism

    Author : Johan Gustafsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; genome-scale metabolic modeling; cancer; metabolism; single-cell RNA-Seq;

    Abstract : Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, and its dysregulated metabolism is a promising target for therapy. However, metabolism is complex to study – the metabolism of a cell involves the interplay of thousands of chemical reactions that are combined in different ways across tissues and cell types.

  4. 2. Development of Computational Methods for Cancer Research: Strategies for closing the feedback loop in omics workflows

    Author : Ufuk Kirik; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cancer; proteome profiling; bioinformatics; pathway analysis; mass spectrometry; Quantitative proteomics;

    Abstract : As the ultimate workhorses of the living things, proteins undergo significant regulatory activity throughout the lifetime of a cell or an organism. Many complex diseases effect the protein composition, expression or modification in the cells or tissues they arise in. READ MORE

  5. 3. Molecular Genetic Alterations In Endometrial And Ovarian Cancers

    Author : Anjila Koul; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; KRAS; PTEN; TP53; Overexpression; Mutation; Microsatellite instability; Complex atypical hyperplasia; Endometrial cancer; Ovarian cancer; cancer; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Cytology; CNS metastasis; Cytogenetic analysis; BRCA2; BRCA1; B-catenin; CDKN2A;

    Abstract : Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer diagnosed in western countries. Complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) reflects a state of hyperestrinism and its role as a precursor lesion of this cancer is established. READ MORE

  6. 4. Immunosuppressive and metastasis-promoting matrisome proteins in pancreatic cancer : the role of galectin 4 and SERPINB5

    Author : Tommy Lidström; Daniel Öhlund; Håkan Hedman; Ola Billing; Andreas Lundqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pancreatic cancer; galectin 4; immunotherapy; SERPINB5; metastasis; extracellular matrix; drug target; Oncology; onkologi; immunologi; Immunology; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : In Sweden 1200-1300 people are diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) every year. Late diagnosis, together with poor treatment response and resistance to checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, contributes to the poor prognosis of the disease. READ MORE

  7. 5. Computational studies of mutational sequence signatures in cancer genomes

    Author : Markus Lindberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Genomcis; Mutational signatures; Ultraviolet light; Multifocal tumors;

    Abstract : Cancer typically forms when mutational processes modify key cancer driver genes, resulting in positive selection and tumor growth. As such, mutational processes are at the core of the disease. Trinucleotide mutational signatures have emerged in the last decade as essential tools for analysis of mutational processes. READ MORE
