      Fack, Fred; Espedal, Heidi; Keunen, Olivier; Golebiewska, Anna; Obad, Nina; Harter, Patrick N.; Mittelbronn, Michel; Bähr, Oliver; Weyerbrock, Astrid; Stuhr, Linda Elin Birkhaug; Miletic, Hrvoje; Sakariassen, Per Øystein; Stieber, Daniel; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Zheng, Liang; Gottlieb, Eyal; Niclou, Simone P.; Bjerkvig, Rolf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01)
      Anti-angiogenic therapy in glioblastoma (GBM) has unfortunately not led to the anticipated improvement in patient prognosis. We here describe how human GBM adapts to bevacizumab treatment at the metabolic level. By performing ...

    • Can adults with cerebral palsy perform and beneft from ballistic strength training to improve walking outcomes? A mixed methods feasibility study

      Background Power bursts of hips and ankle plantar flexors are prerequisites to walking propulsion. However, these power bursts are reduced during gait for persons with cerebral palsy (CP) and mainly in the ankle plantar ...

    • Epac1 null mice have nephrogenic diabetes insipidus with deficient corticopapillary osmotic gradient and weaker collecting duct tight junctions 

      Åsrud, Kathrine Sivertsen; Bjørnstad, Ronja; Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Pedersen, Line; van der Hoeven, Barbara; Karlsen, Tine Veronica; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Curry, Fitz-Roy; Bakke, Marit; Reed, Rolf K.; Tenstad, Olav; Døskeland, Stein Ove (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Aim The cAMP‐mediator Epac1 (RapGef3) has high renal expression. Preliminary observations revealed increased diuresis in Epac1−/− mice. We hypothesized that Epac1 could restrict diuresis by promoting transcellular collecting ...

    • Increased microvascular permeability in mice lacking Epac1 (Rapgef3) 

      Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Karlsen, Tine Veronica; Krakstad, Camilla; Kleppe, Rune; Høivik, Erling Andre; Bakke, Marit; Tenstad, Olav; Selheim, Frode; Liden, Åsa; Madsen, Lise; Pavlin, Tina; Taxt, Torfinn; Kristiansen, K.; Curry, FE; Reed, Rolf K.; Doskeland, Stein Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)
      Aim: Maintenance of the blood and extracellular volume requires tight control of endothelial macromolecule permeability, which is regulated by cAMP signalling. This study probes the role of the cAMP mediators rap guanine ...

    • Investigation of tumour characteristics and treatment strategies in animal models using multiparametric MRI and novel contrast agents 

      Rygh, Cecilie Brekke (Doctoral thesis, 2007-06-21)

    • Lack of functional normalisation of tumour vessels following anti-angiogenic therapy in glioblastoma 

      Obad, Nina; Espedal, Heidi; Jirík, Radovan; Sakariassen, Per Øystein; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Taxt, Torfinn; Niclou, Simone Pierrette; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Keunen, Olivier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Neo-angiogenesis represents an important factor for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to a growing tumour, and is considered to be one of the main pathodiagnostic features of glioblastomas (GBM). Anti-angiogenic therapy ...

    • Multimodal Imaging of Orthotopic Mouse Model of Endometrial Carcinoma 

      Haldorsen, Ingfrid S.; Popa, Mihaela Lucia; Fonnes, Tina; Brekke, Njål; Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Visser, Nicole C.; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Pavlin, Tina; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte; McCormack, Emmet; Krakstad, Camilla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-07)
      Background: Orthotopic endometrial cancer models provide a unique tool for studies of tumour growth and metastatic spread. Novel preclinical imaging methods also have the potential to quantify functional tumour characteristics ...

    • Repurposing 18F-FMISO as a PET tracer for translational imaging of nitroreductase-based gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy 

      Ruiz de Garibay, Gorka; García de Jalón, Elvira; Stigen, Endre; Lund, Kjetil B.; Popa, Mihaela-Lucia; Davidson, Ben; Mayoral Safont, Mireia; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Espedal, Heidi; Barrett, Torill; Haug, Bengt Erik; McCormack, Emmet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Nitroreductases (NTR) are a family of bacterial enzymes used in gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) that selectively activate prodrugs containing aromatic nitro groups to exert cytotoxic effects following gene ...

    • Sequential bortezomib and temozolomide treatment promotes immunological responses in glioblastoma patients with positive clinical outcomes: A phase 1B study 

      Rahman, Mohummad Aminur; Brekke, Jorunn; Arnesen, Victoria Smith; Hannisdal, Marianne; Navarro, Andrea Gras; Waha, Andreas; Herfindal, Lars; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Bratland, Eirik; Brandal, Petter; Haász, Judit; Oltedal, Leif; Miletic, Hrvoje; Lundervold, Arvid; Lie, Stein Atle; Goplen, Dorota; Chekenya, Martha (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive malignant brain tumor where median survival is approximately 15 months after best available multimodal treatment. Recurrence is inevitable, largely due to O6 methylguanine ...
