1. Pancreatic Cancer - Early Detection, Prognostic Factors, and Treatment
Sammanfattning : Background: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. Only about 6% of patients are alive 5 years after diagnosis. One reason for this low survival rate is that most patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when the tumor has spread to surrounding tissues or distant organs. LÄS MER
2. Development of a targeted Drug Delivery System for treatment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinom
Sammanfattning : Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death with a 5-year survival of less than 6%. The only potential cure for pancreatic cancer is by surgical removal of the tumor. However, most patients present with an advanced and metastasized disease at the time of diagnosis, leaving only around 15% of patients eligible for surgery. LÄS MER
3. Transcriptomic and taxonomic profiling of periodontitis by massively parallel sequencing
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is a microbial-induced, chronic inflammatory disease that affects tissue and bone anchoring the teeth, and can ultimately lead to tooth loss. In addition, periodontitis may contribute to systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory bowel diseases. LÄS MER
4. Evolution of Transmembrane and Gel-forming Mucins Studied with Bioinformatic Methods
Sammanfattning : All mucosal membranes of the body are covered by mucus, largely made up of the family of large glycoproteins called mucins. These are instrumental for the protection of the underlying epithelia and involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases in the lungs and the intestine. LÄS MER
5. Gene expression profiling in periodontitis
Sammanfattning : The chronic inflammatory disease periodontitis is characterized by destruction of periodontal tissue, i.e. the tissues that surround and support the teeth. LÄS MER
