      Tangedal, Solveig; Nielsen, Rune; Aanerud, Marianne; Persson, Louise Jeanette Pauline; Wiker, Harald G; Bakke, Per S.; Hiemstra, Pieter S.; Eagan, Tomas Mikal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-17)
      Background: Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are debilitating events and spur disease progression. Infectious causes are frequent; however, it is unknown to what extent exacerbations are caused ...

    • Stathmin Protein Level, a Potential Predictive Marker for Taxane Treatment Response in Endometrial Cancer 

      Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Trovik, Jone; Halle, Mari Kyllesø; Wik, Elisabeth; Akslen, Lars A.; Birkeland, Even; Bredholt, Therese; Tangen, Ingvild Løberg; Krakstad, Camilla; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-25)
