2. 6. Regulation of growth, differentiation and survival of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells

   Author : Ola Söderberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pathology; B-CLL; B cells; IL-2; IL-4; IL-10; IL-15; CD40-stimulation; SAC; Thioredoxin; proliferation; differentiation; survival; in vitro; EBV; Patologi; Pathology; Patologi; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia of B cell type (B-CLL) is the most commonform of leukemia in the Western countries. The signals regulating theexpansion of the B-CLL clone in vivo is yet far from being fully understood. READ MORE

4. 7. DNA methylation as a prognostic marker i acute lymphoblastic leukemia

   Author : Magnus Borssén; Sofie Degerman; Kim Vettenranta; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA methylation; acute lymphoblastic leukemia; T-ALL; Relapse; Telomere length; patologi; Pathology; Pediatrics; pediatrik;

   Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy. Most ALL cases originate from immature B-cells (BCP-ALL) and are characterized by reoccurring structural genetic aberrations. These aberrations hold information of the pathogenesis of ALL and are used for risk stratification in treatment. READ MORE

5. 8. The immortalization process of T cells : with focus on the regulation of telomere length and telomerase activity

   Author : Sofie Degerman; Göran Roos; John Sedivy; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : immortalization; senescence; T cells; Nijmegen breakage syndrome; telomere; telomerase; hTERT; generic aberrations; methylation; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : Cellular immortalization is a major hallmark of cancer and is a multi-step process that requires numerous cell-type specific changes, including inactivation of control mechanisms and stabilization of telomere length. The telomeres at the chromosome ends are essential for genomic stability, and limit the growth potential of most cells. READ MORE

6. 9. Misfolded superoxide dismutase-1 in sporadic and familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

   Author : Karin Forsberg; Thomas Brännström; Irina Alafuzoff; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; SOD-1 motor neuron; protein misfolding; intranuclear; antibodies; CNS; brain; patologi; Pathology;

   Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative syndrome of unknown etiology that most commonly affects people in middle and high age. The hallmark of ALS is a progressive and simultaneous loss of upper and lower motor neurons in the central nervous system that leads to a progressive muscle atrophy, paralysis and death usually by respiratory failure.

7. 10. Androgen controlled regulatory systems in prostate cancer : potential new therapeutic targets and prognostic markers

   Author : Peter Hammarsten; Anders Bergh; Stina Häggström Rudolfsson; Pernilla Wikström; Sten Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; prostate cancer; angiogenesis; human biopsy; androgen ablation; castration; prognostic marker; prognostic factor; growth control; VEGF; vascular endothelial growth factor; EGFR; epidermal growth factor receptor; pEGFR; phosphorylated EGFR; phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor; Pathology; Patologi;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is by far the most common cancer among Swedish men. Some patients have an aggressive lethal disease, but the majority of affected men have long expected survival. Unfortunately, the diagnostic tools available are insufficient in predicting disease aggressiveness. Novel prognostic markers are therefore urgently needed. READ MORE
