  2. 6. Resident T cells steer tissue responses in human skin

    Author : Borislav Ignatov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The human skin constitutes a biological barrier against threats to the body from the surrounding environment. Tissue-resident memory cells (TRM) reside in the skin and provide local memory of previous encounters with microbes and pathogens, are poised to promptly eliminating infected cells and elicit tissue-wide defense state.

  4. 7. Sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer : aspects on validation, diagnostics and lymphatic drainage pattern

    Author : Fuat Celebioglu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Axillary lymph node status is the most important pathological determinant of prognosis in early breast cancer. Determination of axillary status is crucial in clinical decision-making. Total axillary lymphadenectomy is generally accepted as a reliable staging procedure. READ MORE

  5. 8. Quantification of Radiation Induced DNA Damage Response in Normal Skin Exposed in Clinical Settings

    Author : Martin Simonsson; Ingela Turesson; Gunilla Enblad; Dag Rune Olsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; DNA damage response; low-dose hypersensitivity; dose response; normal tissue; epidermis; dermis; keratinocyte; fractionated radiotherapy; DNA double strand break; DSB; foci; gamma-H2AX; 53BP1; p21; checkpoint; apoptosis; mitosis; micro-RNA; miR-34a; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : The structure, function and accessibility of epidermal skin provide aunique opportunity to study the DNA damage response (DDR) of a normaltissue. The in vivo response can be examined in detail, at a molecularlevel, and further associated to the structural changes, observed at atissue level. READ MORE

  6. 9. Optical Coherence Tomography for Dermatological Applications

    Author : Jakob Borup Thomsen; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical imaging; skin cancer diagnostics; optical imaging; blood flow; treatment monitoring;

    Abstract : Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging technique providing approximately 10 micrometer resolution of tissue in vivo. Within ophthalmology, OCT has already proven its value and is routinely used for diagnosing retinal diseases. READ MORE

  7. 10. PET and MRI of Prostate Cancer

    Author : Catrin von Below; Håkan Ahlström; Cecilia Wassberg; Mauritz Waldén; Jens Sörensen; Michael Häggman; Joel Kullberg; Katrine Åhlström Riklund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; lymph nodes; lymph node staging; PET CT; MRI DWI; extended pelvic lymph node dissection; targeted biopsies; multi-parametric MRI; TRUS guided biopsy; multiple regression analysis;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-skin malignancy of men in developed countries. In spite of treatment with curative intent up to 30-40% of patients have disease recurrence after treatment, resulting from any combination of lymphatic, hematogenous, or contiguous local spread.
