Investigation of protein signalling pathways activated by sonoporation in cancer
(Master thesis, 2018-06-29)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. patients with a metastatic PDAC only survive 3 – 5 months if left untreated and less than 25% of diagnosed patients are eligible for ... -
Investigations of the cancer therapeutic and protective effects of warfarin-mediated inhibition of the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-17)Cancer is a major health issue all over the world. Cancer related deaths are one of the major causes of deaths, and are in > 90 % of the cases related to metastatic development, and spread of the cancer outside the primary ... -
Involvement of the 14-3-3 Gene Family in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Schizophrenia: Genetics, Transcriptomics and Functional Analyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The 14-3-3 protein family are molecular chaperones involved in several biological functions and neurological diseases. We previously pinpointed YWHAZ (encoding 14-3-3ζ) as a candidate gene for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ... -
Iodinin (1,6-dihydroxyphenazine 5,10-dioxide) from Streptosporangium sp. induces apoptosis selectively in myeloid leukemia cell lines and patient cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-30)Despite recent improvement in therapy, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still associated with high lethality. In the presented study, we analyzed the bioactive compound iodinin (1,6-dihydroxyphenazine 5,10-dioxide) from a ... -
Ionic strength and calcium regulate membrane interactions of myelin basic protein and the cytoplasmic domain of myelin protein zero
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The formation of a mature myelin sheath in the vertebrate nervous system requires specific protein-membrane interactions. Several myelin-specific proteins are involved in stacking lipid membranes into multilayered structures ... -
