  2. 1. Genomic characterization of ETV6/RUNX1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    Author : Henrik Lilljebjörn; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SNP array; array CGH; ETV6 RUNX1-positive ALL; childhood ALL; exome sequencing;

    Abstract : The t(12;21) translocation generates the ETV6/RUNX1 fusion gene, present in 25% of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This fusion gene is important for leukemia development but is not sufficient for leukemia to arise. READ MORE

  4. 2. Stem and progenitor cell involvement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    Abstract : Leukemic stem cells (LSCs) share the capacity of self renewal and extensive proliferation with normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and are therefore obvious targets for therapy. As such, they need to be identified and characterized in order to elucidate what drives them, and what separates them from their normal counterparts. READ MORE

    Abstract : During the last decades there has been a dramatic increase in survival rates for childhood leukemia, resulting today in an overall survival close to 90 % for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This accomplishment is largely due to treatment protocols based on careful risk group assessment guiding the type and intensity of the anti-leukemic treatment. READ MORE

  7. 5. On the origin of B cells. Elucidating the Role of Tyrosine Kinase Receptors in B Cell Development

    Author : Alya Zriwil; Avdelningen för molekylär hematologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hematopoiesis; B cell development; cytokine; tyrosine kinase receptors;

    Abstract : B cells are essential cells that are part of the adaptive immune system with the capacity to produce antibodies against exogenous antigens. These cells are produced through a process called hematopoiesis, tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. READ MORE
