Exploratory analyses on the effect of time since last meal on concentrations of amino acids, lipids, one-carbon metabolites, and vitamins in the Hordaland Health Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Purpose Dietary intake may have pronounced effects on circulating biomarker concentrations. Therefore, the aim was to provide a descriptive overview of serum metabolite concentrations in relation to time since last meal, ... -
Exploring and redefining Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-02-08)Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) is a rare, monogenic, childhood-onset disorder caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene. Multi-organ autoimmune disease and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis ... -
Exploring lithium's transcriptional mechanisms of action in bipolar disorder: a multi-step study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Lithium has been the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder (BD) for more than six decades. Although the molecular effects of lithium have been studied extensively and gene expression changes are generally believed to ... -
Exploring protocol bias in airway microbiome studies: one versus two PCR steps and 16S rRNA gene region V3 V4 versus V4
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Studies on the airway microbiome have been performed using a wide range of laboratory protocols for high-throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene. We sought to determine the ... -
Exploring the boundaries of precision haemato-oncology : The case of FLT3 length mutated acute myeloid leukaemia
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-02-14)This dissertation explores the astounding biological heterogeneity of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). In three research papers, we study FLT3 length mutated (LM) AML to contribute to the characterisation of genetic diversity ... -
Exploring the Patient Perspective of Bone Sarcoma Survivors Who Have Undergone Particle Radiotherapy Abroad
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background/Aim: Sarcoma patients’ experiences of their health-related quality of life and late effects following particle therapy are sparse. Such knowledge is essential to optimize treatment compliance and follow-up care ... -
Exploring the Wnt signaling pathway in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)The Wnt signaling pathway plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment and in regulating the function and structure of the adult nervous system. Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are severe mental disorders with ... -
Exposure to Antibacterial Chemicals Is Associated With Altered Composition of Oral Microbiome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Antimicrobial chemicals are used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in the products. Unintentional exposure in humans to such chemicals is well documented, ... -
Exposure to preeclampsia growth from birth to late childhood dependent on child’s sex and severity of exposure: Follow-up of a nested case-control study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05-09)Background and objective An adverse intrauterine environment may affect offspring growth and development. Our aim was to explore whether preeclampsia (PE) exposure in utero influences growth from birth to 13 years. Methods ... -
The expressed mutational landscape of microsatellite stable colorectal cancers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths with few patients benefiting from biomarker-guided therapy. Mutation expression is essential for accurate interpretation of mutations as ... -
Expression of ANK3 moderates the association between childhood trauma and affective traits in severe mental disorders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Exposure to early life trauma increases the risk of psychopathology later in life. Here we investigated if ANK3 mRNA levels influence the relationship between childhood trauma experiences and clinical characteristics in ... -
The expression of B & T cell activation markers in children’s tonsils following live attenuated influenza vaccine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-06)Live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIV) can prevent influenza illness and death in children. The absence of known correlates of protection induced by LAIV requires human studies of underlying mechanisms of vaccine-induced ... -
Expression of circadian clock genes and proteins in urothelial cancer is related to cancer-associated genes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-27)Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate invasive and metastatic potential of urothelial cancer by investigating differential expression of various clock genes/proteins participating in the 24 h circadian ... -
Expression of full-length p53 and its isoform Δp53 in breast carcinomas in relation to mutation status and clinical parameters
(Molecular Cancer 5(47), Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-10-20)Background: The tumor suppressor gene p53 (TP53) controls numerous signaling pathways and is frequently mutated in human cancers. Novel p53 isoforms suggest alternative splicing as a regulatory feature of p53 activity. ... -
Expression of L1CAM in curettage or high L1CAM level in preoperative blood samples predicts lymph node metastases and poor outcome in endometrial cancer patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09)Background: Several studies have identified L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) as a strong prognostic marker in endometrial cancer. To further underline the clinical usefulness of this biomarker, we investigated L1CAM as a ... -
Expression of TCN1 in Blood is Negatively Associated with Verbal Declarative Memory Performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-23)Memory is indispensable for normal cognitive functioning, and the ability to store and retrieve information is central to mental health and disease. The molecular mechanisms underlying complex memory functions are largely ... -
