Zebrafish Larvae as a Model Organism to Study Biotransformation
(Master thesis, 2023-05-22)The zebrafish larva is an increasingly used model organism in many fields of research, including drug development. Due to traits like their small size, rapid development, and high degree of genetic similarity with humans, ... -
Zebrafish Larvae as a Model to Study Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity
(Master thesis, 2020-06-30)Doxorubicin is one of the most versatile cytostatic drugs available and shows efficacy on most cancer forms. However, it also possesses the risk of cardiotoxicity that is hard to predict, can occur decades after treatment, ... -
β-blocker use and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with coronary heart disease: effect modification by serum vitamin A
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aims Blockade of β-adrenoceptors reduces sympathetic nervous system activity and improves survival in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF); however, any improvement in ... -
β2-adrenergic receptor expression in patients receiving bevacizumab therapy for metastatic melanoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was initially known as vascular permeability factor and identified as a driver of tumour angiogenesis. Recently, its role in supporting an immunosuppressive tumour ...
