11. Modulation of activity of the tumour suppressor p53 by small molecules and damaged DNA
Sammanfattning : The p53 is a potent tumor suppressor, which becomes activated in response to stress. The activated p53 triggers a cell cycle arrest in GI or apoptosis, ensuring a suppression of a tumor development by the elimination of cells carrying potentially tumorigenic lesions. LÄS MER
12. Replication Fork Stability in Mammalian Cells
Sammanfattning : Maintaining replication fork integrity is vital to preserve genomic stability and avoid cancer. Physical DNA damage and altered nucleotide or protein pools represent replication obstacles, generating replicative stress. Numerous cellular responses have evolved to ensure faithful DNA replication despite such challenges. LÄS MER
13. Cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer in pregnancy: diagnosis and outcome
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT:Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer that is diagnosed during pregnancy. The primary aim in investigation of atypical cervical cytology during pregnancy is to exclude cancer so that further treatment of the lesion can be postponed until after delivery. LÄS MER
14. Use of neural progenitor cell lines and astrocytes for transplantation and gene transfer to the CNS
Sammanfattning : Intracerebral neuronal transplantation have been shown to ameliorate symptoms of brain dysfunction in both animals models and Parkinson's disease, although problems still remain. The newly introduced technique of ex vivo gene transfer could serve as an alternative approach, possible avoiding some of the draw-backs of the embryonal tissue used in neuronal grafting. LÄS MER
15. Molecular aspects of cellular radiosensitivity in small cell lung carcinoma
Sammanfattning : To clarify some important molecular aspects of radiosensitivity (RS) in small cell (SCLC) compared with non small cell (NSCLC) lung carcinoma, five studies focusing on DNA damage repair, cell cycle checkpoints and apoptosis were performed. As repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DNA dsb), a critical DNA lesion, may be an important determinant of cellular RS, induction and rejoining of DNA dsb were studied using pulsed field gel electrophoresis in a radiosensitive SCLC line, U-1285 and a radioresistant NSCLC line, U-1810 (paper I).
