21. Characterization and environmental influences on inflammatory and physiological responses
Sammanfattning : Pharmaceuticals are regularly released into the environment, in particular nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics. The measuredconcentrations are relatively low and have therefore been considered to be harmless. LÄS MER
22. Molecular signatures of progression and chemoresistance in epithelial ovarian carcinoma
Sammanfattning : Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is a heterogeneous disease generally classified into five histopathological subtypes; low- and high-grade serous, endometrioid, clear cell and mucinous carcinomas. Although each subtype has distinct clinical and molecular characteristics, they are all treated with surgery and platinum/ taxane chemotherapy. LÄS MER
23. Innate immunity in diabetes mellitus. Complement components C4BP and C3 promote survival of β cells under metabolic challenges
Sammanfattning : The Complement system is a main effector mechanism of the innate immune system, acting to enhance clearance of pathogens, but also aids removal of biological debris from the body, including immunocomplexes, apoptotic/necrotic cells and protein aggregates. Complement regulators serve to prevent excessive inflammation and their interaction with the same materials targeted by the complement system results in ‘silent’ cleaning of wastes. LÄS MER
24. Mitochondria targeting and its consequences for cell death in neuroblastoma
Sammanfattning : Mitochondria are one of the central regulators of several physiological and pathological processes. For instance, homeostatic glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are all regulated by mitochondria. In addition, these organelles play a pivotal role in apoptosis, a process of programmed cell death. LÄS MER
25. Predictive and prognostic factors of epithelial ovarian cancer and pseudomyxoma peritonei
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of my thesis was to investigate potential prognostic and predictive factors associated with the tumor cells of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and the gastrointestinal tumor pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) to improve and individualize cancer therapy. Both PMP and EOC can develop into peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), which is characterized by widespread metastasis of cancer tumors in the peritoneal cavity. LÄS MER
