6. Small Cajal body-associated RNA 2 and RNA-binding protein WRAP53β in DNA repair and Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome
Sammanfattning : The DNA in our cells can be damaged through many different mechanisms and correct repair of DNA lesions is of utmost importance to ensure genomic integrity and prevent alteration in the genetic code contributing to diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and premature aging. Non-coding RNAs were for a long time considered as non-functional transcriptional byproducts. LÄS MER
7. Cell cycle regulatory proteins and miRNAs in premalignant lesions and breast cancer
Sammanfattning : Early diagnosis and reliable prognosis and treatment prediction of breast cancer will ultimately lead to a decreased mortality rate. This can be achieved by identification of prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers, and by understanding the mechanisms behind early changes in the breast. LÄS MER

9. 3D Verification of Dynamic and Breathing Adapted Radiotherapy using Polymer Gel Dosimetry
Sammanfattning : Polymer gel dosimetry has been used since the 1990s, and several studies have shown that this detector system can be used for verification of static absorbed dose distributions in three dimensions (3D). Its unique properties, such as high resolution, normal tissue equivalence and independency of energy, field size and direction of the incident radiation, should also be advantageous for dosimetric verification of radiotherapy using today’s and tomorrow’s dynamic delivery techniques.
