11. Erythropoietin receptor in growth control and anti-estrogen resistance of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer
Sammanfattning : The main function of Erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPOR) is the stimulation of erythropoiesis. Therefore, recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) is used to treat anemia in cancer patients, but some studies have reported that rhEPO treatment might promote tumor progression. Additionally, EPOR expression has been detected in various cancer forms. LÄS MER
12. Structural and Functional Aspects of β1 Integrin Signalling
Sammanfattning : Integrins are transmembrane glycoproteins primarily mediating interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix. Each receptor is a complex of one α- and one β-subunit with affinity for a diverse set of ligands. LÄS MER
13. Ultrasensitive Molecular Monitoring of Breast Cancer and Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Sammanfattning : Cancer is the common name to a group of biologically diverse malignant neoplastic diseases. Approximately 18 million people are diagnosed with cancer annually and 8.8 million patients die from it. Tumorigenesis and progression of cancer are driven by alterations in the cancer cell genome.

14. Genetic and Epigenetic Characterisation of Breast Tumours
Sammanfattning : Breast tumours harbour a large amount of genetic and epigenetic alterations, which are associated with e.g. tumour aggressiveness, prognosis, and response to therapy. LÄS MER
15. Regulation of survival and proliferation of human intestinal epithelial cells by leukotriene D4
Sammanfattning : The pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. LÄS MER
