1. Evolving the Methodology for Detection of Primary DNA Damage : Development, adaptation and assessment of the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay
Sammanfattning : Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is one of the most important molecules in nature. It is the fundamental carrier of evolutionary information and constitutes the genetic blueprint of all living organisms. Being the sole source of information, it is vital for the cell to transmit the correct genetic information from generation to generation. LÄS MER
2. The role of MTH1 in ultraviolet radiation-induced mutagenesis
Sammanfattning : Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is known to be highly mutagenic. What types of DNA lesions that are induced by different UVR wavelengths are still a matter of debate. UVR induces mutagenesis mostly by the formation of photoproducts and the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). LÄS MER
3. Role of MTH1 and MYH proteins in genotoxic effects of radiation
Sammanfattning : Humans are constantly exposed to different types of radiations. It has been suggested that low dose and low dose rate of γ-radiation as well as ultra violet A (UVA) induce oxidative stress in cells that may promote mutations. LÄS MER
4. In vitro and in vivo aspects of intrinsic radiosensitivity
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on how physical and biological factors influence the outcome of exposures to γ/X-rays. That the dose rate changes during real life exposure scenarios is well-known, but radiobiological data from exposures performed at increasing or decreasing dose rates is lacking. LÄS MER
5. Developing methods for mapping genetic heterogeneity in tumors : from bulk to single-cell resolution
Sammanfattning : Tumors are complex ecosystems composed of billions of cells that constantly evolve over time. Intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) represents the diversity of this complex environment quantifiable both at the genetic and phenotypic level. Recently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) costs have dropped and NGS has become the standard tool for studying ITH. LÄS MER
