3D Modelling of Brain Metastasis Microenvironment for Evaluation of Tumour-Stromal Interactions
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Brain metastases (BM) occur when cancer cells from the primary location spread to the brain through the bloodstream. BM affects approximately 20-40 % of cancer patients, with the majority originating from lung, breast, and ... -
CEL in pancreatic disease: Do alcohol and smoking have an effect on the CEL-HYB1 protein?
(Master thesis, 2020-06-23) -
Cellular clearance and protein binding partners of pathogenic CEL-HYB
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)The CEL gene encodes the digestive enzyme carboxyl ester lipase, which is mainly expressed in the acinar cells of the pancreas. In 2015, our research group discovered a CEL hybrid gene, named CEL-HYB, resulting from ... -
Characterization and Tracking of Melanoma and Lung Brain Metastasis-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in vitro
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Brain metastasis (BM) occurs when cancer cells from a primary tumor elsewhere in the body spread to the brain. It poses significant challenges in cancer treatment due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options, ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF IMMUNE CELL SUBSETS IN A MODEL DISEASE FOR ENDOCRINE AUTOIMMUNITY BY MASS AND FLOW CYTOMETRY
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)The autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a complex and rare monogenic form of autoimmunity caused by pathogenic variants of the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene; a transcription factor primarily expressed in ... -
Characterization of Melanoma Brain Metastasis Cell Lines
(Master thesis, 2019-06-03)Brain metastasis is a major public health problem. Metastatic brain tumors are ten times more common than that of all other primary brain tumors combined. The estimated annual incidence in Europe is around 1.5 million cases ... -
Development and Characterization of an ex vivo Organotypic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Model to Study the Effect of Elevated Oxygen Treatment
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, and also the cancer-form responsible for most cancer related deaths in Norway. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately ... -
Development of 3D in vitro Interaction Models for the Evaluation and Treatment of Brain Metastases
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01) -
Effect of miR-582-5p modulated cancer-associated fibroblasts on vulvar cancer cells
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01) -
Exploring the IBS Brain: Resting State Functional Connectivity and Machine Learning
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28) -
Expression, Purification, and Small Molecule Binding to Cysteine Sulfinic Acid Decarboxylase
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Cysteine Sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) is a PLP-dependent enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of taurine. It converts cysteine sulfinic acid (CSA) into hypotaurine. Hypotaurine is later oxidized into taurine, one of ... -
High-dimensional Characterisation of rare cerebrospinal fluid cells in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and is the leading cause of neurological disability in young adults in North America and Europe, affecting ... -
Image Registration for Automated Alignment and Ordering of Non-neoplastic Kidney Biopsy Sections
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The kidney, a vital organ responsible for waste excretion and hormone regulation, is frequently afflicted by non-neoplastic diseases affecting components like glomeruli and tubules. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), often ... -
Improvement of a 3D model system for the evaluation and treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01) -
In vitro study of a selective PI3K inhibitor on brain metastases
(Master thesis, 2020-06-17) -
Interplay of the proteotoxic CEL-MODY protein and oncogenic KRAS in pancreatic cancer development
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Challenges in diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer make it the fourth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Survival rates remain dismally low, and the molecular mechanisms driving this malignancy are still inadequately ... -
Investigation of the apoptotic pathway in glioblastoma in the context of suicide gene therapy
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Glioblastoma is a highly malignant, aggressive and most common primary brain tumor in adults. Tremendous research efforts have been conducted in the field of GBM treatment discovery and succcess has only been achieved at ... -
Investigation of the Role of BCR/ABL1 in Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) Formation in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) represent a rather newly discovered antimicrobial mechanism first described by Brinkmann and co-workers in 2004. NETs are extracellular structures composed of decondensed chromatin ... -
LPS quantification of oral samples from the RHINESSA study population
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)The human immune system defends the body against threats through a complex network of organs, cells, and proteins. It has two subsystems: the innate immune system provides immediate defense, while the adaptive immune system ... -
Making in vivo models viable again: Synthetic lethality between DNA repair factors Xlf and Paxx is rescued by inactivation of Trp53
(Master thesis, 2019-06-28)Non-Homologous End-Joining (NHEJ) is the major DNA repair pathway that senses, processes and ligates DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in higher eukaryotes, functionally throughout the cell cycle. The NHEJ involves four core ...
