Use of big data and machine learning algorithms to extract possible treatment targets in neurodevelopmental disorders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) impact multiple aspects of an individual's functioning, including social interactions, communication, and behaviors. The underlying biological mechanisms of NDDs are not yet fully ... -
The pancreas remembers: epigenetic memory of obesity as subtle, coordinated changes in promoter accessibility
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Background: Epigenetic memory involves heritable gene expression changes without DNA sequence alterations, impacting cellular functions long after the initial triggers have ceased. The impact of obesity on pancreatic ... -
Probing cellular interactions in breast cancer and mouse models thereof
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)The thesis is divided into two different topics: 1. Identifying which receptor, the S100A8 protein is binding to in obesity-induced breast cancer. 2. Implementing a new model for breast cancer in the proper cellular ... -
Molecular pathways of mitochondria transfer in Glioblastoma cells
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant brain tumor and the most aggressive form of brain cancer in adults. The aggressive nature and invasive properties of GBM cells contribute to the poor prognosis and increased rate of ... -
HER2, Tissue Factor, TROP2 and NECTIN4 as targets for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy in cervical cancer
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Early-stage cervical cancers are generally associated with good prognosis. However, for late stage or recurrent disease, survival rates drop significantly, with limited treatment options available. Antibody drug conjugates ... -
eIF4E phosphorylation recruits β-catenin to mRNA cap and promotes Wnt pathway translation in dentate gyrus LTP maintenance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The mRNA cap-binding protein, eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), is crucial for translation and regulated by Ser209 phosphorylation. However, the biochemical and physiological role of eIF4E phosphorylation in ... -
Valtrate, an iridoid compound in Valeriana, elicits anti-glioblastoma activity through inhibition of the PDGFRA/MEK/ERK signaling pathway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Valtrate, a natural compound isolated from the root of Valeriana, exhibits antitumor activity in many cancers through different mechanisms. However, its efficacy for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), a ... -
Structural properties of the HNF-1A transactivation domain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF-1A) is a transcription factor with important gene regulatory roles in pancreatic β-cells. HNF1A gene variants are associated with a monogenic form of diabetes (HNF1A-MODY) or an increased ... -
Potassium channels in behavioral brain disorders. Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential: A narrative review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Potassium channels (K+-channels) selectively control the passive flow of potassium ions across biological membranes and thereby also regulate membrane excitability. Genetic variants affecting many of the human K+-channels ... -
Tryptophan and kynurenine pathway metabolites in neuropsychiatric disorders
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-21)Bakgrunn: Kynureninar er ei gruppe metabolittar av den kosthaldsavhengige aminosyra tryptofan (Trp) som er involverte i ei rekkje biologiske mekanismar, mellom anna inflammasjon og reguleringa av nevrotransmitteren glutamat. ... -
Survival in a consecutive series of 467 glioblastoma patients: Association with prognostic factors and treatment at recurrence at two independent institutions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)Therapy of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) is challenging due to lack of standard treatment. We investigated physicians’ treatment choice at recurrence and prognostic and predictive factors for survival in GBM patients from ... -
Identification of a core EMT signature that separates basal-like breast cancers into partial- and post-EMT subtypes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular plasticity program critical for embryonic development and tissue regeneration, and aberrant EMT is associated with disease including cancer. The high degree of plasticity ... -
Cardiac Involvement in Systemic and Local Vasculitides: The Value of Noninvasive Multimodality Imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Despite significant advances in managing systemic vasculitides, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality are still of primary concern. Advances in noninvasive imaging have broadened our understanding of the clinical ... -
Quality indicators and early adverse in surgery for atypical meningiomas: A 16-year single centre study and systematic review of the literature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction Atypical meningiomas represent approximately 20% of all intracranial meningiomas and are characterized by distinct histopathological criteria and an increased risk of postoperative recurrence. Recently, ... -
Monoamine synthesis in neurometabolic disorders affecting catecholaminergic functioning: biochemical mechanisms and treatment implications
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-02-14)Løpet av de siste 100 år er det oppdaget hundrevis av arvelige metabolske forstyrrelser. Slike tilstander har ofte recessiv Mendelsk arv og kalles også medfødte metabolismefeil. Symptomene debuterer vanligvis like etter ... -
The effects of phenylalanine and tyrosine levels on dopamine production in rat PC12 cells. Implications for treatment of phenylketonuria, tyrosinemia type 1 and comorbid neurodevelopmental disorders
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, resulting in phenylalanine accumulation and impaired tyrosine production. In Tyrosinemia ... -
