    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Angiogenesis; Dosimetry; Hypoxia; Modelling; Radionuclide therapy; Radiotherapy; Tumour Control Probability;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate theoretically how parameters such as vessel density, blood oxygenation, blood velocity, spatial oxygen variation along vessels, tissue oxygen consumption and their distributions in uence the radiosensitivity of tumours. Numerical calculations are made in Matlab using voxel-based models. READ MORE

  6. 4. Functional Characterization of the Yeast Tumour Suppressor Homologue Sro7p

    Author : Annabelle Forsmark; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Keywords : Yeast; protein sorting; protein secretion; L 2 GL; tumour suppressor; SRO7; SRO77; ENA1; exocytosis; post-Golgi vesicles; ART5; E3 adaptor; ubiquitylation; ATLGL1; ATLGL2;

    Abstract : Correct targeting of newly synthesized proteins to appropriate domains of the cell membrane is crucial to cellular architecture, polarity and function, making it no surprise that many proteins of the secretory machinery are conserved throughout evolution. This work presents a functional characterisation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell polarity protein and tumour suppressor homologue, Sro7p. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) of an adenocarcinoma implanted into rat liver - methodology and effects
