  2. 1. Cancer Evolution under Chemotherapy Treatment

    Author : Kaname Uno; Cancercellers evolution; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian cancer; Wilms tumor; chemotherapy resistance; ascites; spheroids; diffuse anaplasia;

    Abstract : Background: Chemotherapy resistance is a critical issue in oncology, being responsible for the majority of deaths in modern cancer care. My PhD work has focused on two cancer types where such drug resistance is a major clinical issue: epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and Wilms tumor (WT). READ MORE

  4. 2. Inter and intra-tumor models of somatic evolution in cancer

    Author : Mohammadreza Mohaghegh Neyshabouri; Jens Lagergren; Ben Raphael; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cancer progression models; MCMC; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Abstract : Cancer is a disease caused by the accumulation of somatic mutations in an evolutionary process. Mutations in so-called cancer driver genes provide the harboring cells with particular selective advantages and result in cancer progression. READ MORE

  6. 4. Affibody molecules targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor for tumor imaging applications

    Author : Mikaela Friedman; Stefan Ståhl; Fredrik Nilsson; James S. Huston; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affibody; affinity maturation; phage display selection; EGFR; molecular imaging; protein engineering; tumor targeting; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Tumor targeting and molecular imaging of protein markers specific for or overexpressed in tumors can add useful information in deciding upon treatment and assessing the response to treatment for a cancer patient. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one such tumor-associated receptor, which expression is abnormal or upregulated in various cancers and associated with a poor patient prognosis.

  7. 5. Staphylococcal surface display in directed evolution

    Author : Nina Kronqvist; Stefan Ståhl; Mats A. A. Persson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; affibody; combinatorial library; directed evoluation; Gram-positive bacteria. protein engineering; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Engineered affinity proteins have together with naturally derived antibodies becomeindispensable tools in many areas of life-science and with the increasing number ofapplications, the need for high-throughput methods for generation of such different affinityproteins is evident. Today, combinatorial protein engineering is the most successful strategy toisolate novel non-immunoglobulin affinity proteins. READ MORE
