Mutational Signature 3 Detected from Clinical Panel Sequencing is Associated with Responses to Olaparib in Breast and Ovarian Cancers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Purpose: The identification of patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) beyond BRCA1/2 mutations is an urgent task, as they may benefit from PARP inhibitors. We have previously developed a method to detect ... -
Mutations and gene amplifications in Endometrial Carcinomas. “Clinical characteristics and potential targets for therapy related to KRAS, MYC, ATAD2, PIK3CA and FGFR2 alterations”
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-09-20)Background: Incidence of endometrial cancer is increasing in industrialised countries. Despite early diagnosis and generally good prognosis, around one fourth of cases follow an aggressive path with few effective treatment ... -
Mutations in TP53 increase the risk of SOX2 copy number alterations and silencing of TP53 reduces SOX2 expression in non-small cell lung cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-19)Background: Amplifications of the transcription factor, SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX2), are common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SOX2 signaling is important in maintaining the stem cell-like phenotype ... -
Mutations of the p53 gene in oral squamous-cell carcinomas from sudanese dippers of nitrosamine-rich toombak and non-snuff-dippers from the Sudan and Scandinavia
(Journal article, 1999-11-08)Using PCR-SSCP/DNA sequencing methods, we analyzed 14 oral squamous-cell carcinomas (OSCCs) and 8 pre-malignant oral lesions from different Sudanese patients for prevalence of mutations in exons 5 to 9 of the p53 gene in ... -
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): Clinical trials, medical treatment and pathomechanisms
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-02)Myalgisk encefalomyelitt/kronisk utmattelsessyndrom (ME/CFS) er en underprioritert sykdom som rammer 0,2-0,8 % av befolkningen, med ukjent etiologi, høy symptombelastning, ingen biomarkør, og ingen godkjent effektiv ... -
Myasthenia gravis can have consequences for pregnancy and the developing child
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Myasthenia gravis (MG) with onset below 50 years, thymic hyperplasia and acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies is more common in females than in males. For a relatively large group of MG patients, pregnancy represents ... -
Myasthenia gravis, respiratory function, and respiratory tract disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by muscle weakness caused by autoantibodies that bind to the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction and impair acetylcholine receptor function. Weakness of respiratory ... -
Myasthenia gravis; cytotoxic potential of human sera in vitro and novel non-antibody, disease-modifying factors
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-10-22) -
MYC-induced miR-203b-3p and miR-203a-3p control Bcl-xL expression and paclitaxel sensitivity in tumor cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Taxanes are chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of solid tumors, particularly of breast, ovarian, and lung origin. However, patients show divergent therapy responses, and the molecular determinants of taxane ... -
Mycobacteria in northern Tanzania: Exposure and risk of disease among agropastoralists and programmatic challenges in investigation of re-treatment cases
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-06-14)Background: The genus mycobacterium includes several species that can cause disease. Mycobacterium tuberculosis-complex is transmitted from person to person by air and usually affects the lungs. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria ... -
Mycobacterial antigen MPT64 specific polyclonal antibody production and validation for an immunohistochemistry based diagnostic test for extrapulmonary tuberculosis
(Master thesis, 2020-06-27)Mycobacterial antigen MPT64 specific polyclonal antibody production and validation for an immunohistochemistry based diagnostic test for extrapulmonary tuberculosis Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem, ... -
Mycobacterial antigens accumulation in foamy macrophages in murine pulmonary tuberculosis lesions: Association with necrosis and making of cavities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding mechanisms of cavitation in tuberculosis (TB) is the missing link that could advance the field towards better control of the infection. Descriptions of human TB suggest that postprimary TB begins as lipid ... -
Mycobacterial antigens in pleural fluid mononuclear cells to diagnose pleural tuberculosis in HIV co-infected patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Extra pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis (TB) accounts for approximately one-half of TB cases in HIV-infected individuals with pleural TB as the second most common location. Even though mycobacteria are ... -
The mycobiome in COPD: Descriptive and longitudinal analysis, and participation in research bronchoscopy studies
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-06-25)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a high-prevalent lung disease with high mortality rates. The COPD pathogenesis is only partly understood, and we do not know why some risk factor exposed subjects ... -
Myelin-derived and putative molecular mimic peptides share structural properties in aqueous and membrane-like environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-24)Background: Despite intense research, the causes of various neurological diseases remain enigmatic to date. A role for viral or bacterial infection and associated molecular mimicry has frequently been suggested in the ... -
