U-251 revisited: genetic drift and phenotypic consequences of long-term cultures of glioblastoma cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08)It is well known that in vitro subculture represents a selection pressure on cell lines, and over time this may result in a genetic drift in the cancer cells. In addition, long-term cultures harbor the risk of cross-contamination ... -
UCP1 induction during recruitment of Brown Adipocytes in White Adipose tissue is dependent on Cyclooxygenase activity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-06-30)Background The uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a hallmark of brown adipocytes and pivotal for cold- and diet-induced thermogenesis. Methodology/Principal Findings Here we report that cyclooxygenase (COX) activity and ... -
Ultrasound-mediated delivery and distribution of polymeric nanoparticles in the normal brain parenchyma of a metastatic brain tumour model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-16)The treatment of brain diseases is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) preventing most drugs from entering the brain. Focused ultrasound (FUS) with microbubbles can open the BBB safely and reversibly. Systemic drug ... -
Understanding the interaction between the co-chaperone DNAJC12 and tyrosine hydroxylase
(Master thesis, 2020-06-23) -
Upregulated PDK4 expression is a sensitive marker of increased fatty acid oxidation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Fatty acid oxidation is a central fueling pathway for mitochondrial ATP production. Regulation occurs through multiple nutrient- and energy-sensitive molecular mechanisms. We explored if upregulated mRNA expression of the ... -
Use of stable isotope dimethyl labeling coupled to selected reaction monitoring to enhance throughput by multiplexing relative quantitation of targeted proteins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)In this manuscript, we present a proof-of-concept study for targeted relative protein quantitation workflow using chemical labeling in the form of dimethylation, coupled with selected reaction monitoring (dimethyl-SRM). ... -
Validity and accuracy of the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) symptom checklists in discriminating between adults with and without ADHD
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective To validate the Adult ADHD Self‐Report Scale (ASRS) and the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) in a well‐characterized sample of adult attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients and population ... -
Vascular endothelial growth factors and receptors - from normal dental pulp to apical pathology
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-02-12)The VEGFs -A, -B, -C, -D are important signaling molecules with pivotal implication in the growth of blood and lymphatic vessels, the so-called angio- and lymphangiogenesis. They exert their activities by binding to their ... -
Viewing the proteome: How to visualize proteomics data?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)Proteomics has become one of the main approaches for analyzing and understanding biological systems. Yet similar to other high-throughput analysis methods, the presentation of the large amounts of obtained data in easily ... -
Virtual Source Modelling of Photon Beams for Monte Carlo Based Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-10-13)Modern radiotherapy (RT) techniques such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) carries the potential of improving the quality of treatment. ... -
Visualization of metastatic melanoma cells by fluorescence microscopy and MRI using a novel glycogen nanoprobe
(Master thesis, 2014-06-05)The incidence of malignant melanoma has increased steadily during the last decades. Large portions of individuals with this particular skin cancer develop multiple brain metastases, which is associated with a particular ... -
Voxel dimension optimization for probabilistic tractography in rat brain using 7T scanner
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Brain connectivity is an increasingly important research field within neuroscience. Using MRI technology it is now possible to measure diffusion to approximate the location of anatomical tracts in the brain or correlate ... -
Widespread promoter methylation of synaptic plasticity genes in long-term potentiation in the adult brain in vivo.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-23)Background: DNA methylation is a key modulator of gene expression in mammalian development and cellular differentiation, including neurons. To date, the role of DNA modifications in long-term potentiation (LTP) has not ... -
Work participation in ADHD and associations with social characteristics, education, lifetime depression, and ADHD symptom severity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06)The literature refers to high rates of occupational failure in the population of adults with ADHD. The explanation for this is less known. The aim of the present study was to examine associations between social characteristics ... -
α11β1 integrin is induced in a subset of cancer- associated fibroblasts in desmoplastic tumor stroma and mediates in vitro cell migration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-01)Integrin α11β1 is a collagen receptor that has been reported to be overexpressed in the stroma of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In the current study, we further ...
