    • Age-dependent association between protein expression of the embryonic stem cell marker Cripto-1 and survival of glioblastoma patients 

      Tysnes, Berit Bølge; Sætran, Hege Aase; Mørk, Sverre; Margaryan, Naira v.; Eide, Geir Egil; Petersen, Kjell; Strizzi, Luigi; Hendrix, J. C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-12)
      Exploring the re-emergence of embryonic signaling pathways may reveal important information for cancer biology. Nodal is a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-related morphogen that plays a critical role during embryonic ...

    • CDR2 antigen and Yo antibodies 

      Totland, Cecilie; Aarskog, Nina K.; Eichler, Tilo W.; Haugen, Mette; Nøstbakken, Jane K.; Monstad, Sissel E.; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte; Mørk, Sverre; Haukanes, Bjørn Ivar; Vedeler, Christian A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)
      Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is often associated with Yo antibodies that are directed against human cerebellar degeneration-related protein 2 (CDR2). Such antibodies may also be found in ovarian cancer ...

    • Cellular heterogeneity contributes to subtype-specific expression of ZEB1 in human glioblastoma 

      Euskirchen, Philipp; Radke, Josefine; Schmidt, Marc Sören; Heuling, Eva Schulze; Kadikowski, Eric; Maricos, Meron; Knab, Felix; Grittner, Ulrike; Zerbe, Norman; Czabanka, Marcus; Dieterich, Christoph; Miletic, Hrvoje; Mørk, Sverre; Koch, Arend; Endres, Matthias; Harms, Christoph (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-25)
      The transcription factor ZEB1 has gained attention in tumor biology of epithelial cancers because of its function in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, DNA repair, stem cell biology and tumor-induced immunosuppression, but ...

    • Dietary Vitamin D3 Supplements Reduce Demyelination in the Cuprizone Model 

      Wergeland, Stig; Torkildsen, Øivind; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Aksnes, Lage; Mørk, Sverre; Bø, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-20)
      Vitamin D is emerging as a probably important environmental risk factor in multiple sclerosis, affecting both susceptibility and disease progression. It is not known to what extent this effect is due to a modulation of ...

    • Gamma knife surgery as monotherapy with clinically relevant doses prolongs survival in a Human GBM Xenograft Model 

      Skeie, Bente Sandvei; Wang, Jian; Dodoo, Ernest; Heggdal, Jan Ingemann; Grønli, Janne; Sleire, Linda; Bragstad, Sidsel Marit; Ganz, Jeremy Christopher; Chekenya, Martha; Mørk, Sverre; Pedersen, Paal-Henning; Enger, Per Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      Object. Gamma knife surgery (GKS) may be used for recurring glioblastomas (GBMs). However, patients have then usually undergone multimodal treatment, which makes it difficult to specifically validate GKS independent of ...

    • mtDNA nt13708A Variant Increases the Risk of Multiple Sclerosis 

      Yu, Xinhua; Koczan, Dirk; Sulonen, Anna-Maija; Akkad, Denis A.; Kroner, Antje; Comabella, Manuel; Costa, Gianna; Corongiu, Daniela; Goertsches, Robert; Camina-Tato, Montserrat; Thiese, Hans-Juergen; Nyland, Harald Inge; Mørk, Sverre; Montalban, Xavier; Rieckmann, Peter; Marrosu, Maria G.; Myhr, Kjell-Morten; Epplen, Joerg T.; Saarela, Sanna; Ibrahim, Saleh M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-02-13)
      Background: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphism is a possible factor contributing to the maternal parent-of-origin effect in multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility. Methods and Findings: In order to investigate the role ...

    • A reproducible brain tumour model established from human glioblastoma biopsies 

      Wang, Jian; Miletic, Hrvoje; Sakariassen, Per Øystein; Huszthy, Peter Csaba; Jacobsen, Hege; Brekkå, Narve; Li, Xingang; Zhao, Peng; Mørk, Sverre; Chekenya, Martha; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Enger, Per Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-12-29)
      Background: Establishing clinically relevant animal models of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains a challenge, and many commonly used cell line-based models do not recapitulate the invasive growth patterns of patient ...
