  1. 6. Aggrecan fragments as biomarkers in osteoarthritis

    Författare :Staffan Larsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protease; Aggrecan; osteoarthritis; proteoglycan; knee injury; biomarker; aggrecanase;

    Sammanfattning : Background: In osteoarthritis (OA) the balance of cartilage matrix synthesis and degradation is disturbed, resulting in a gradual destruction of the articular cartilage. Matrix components released into body fluids by proteolytic cleavage can be used as biomarkers of ongoing processes. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Proteomic profiling of bacterial host adaptation : Racing the Red Queen

    Författare :Ola Kilsgård; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteomics; Mass Spectrometry; Systems biology; Biomarker; Host adaptation; Bacteria; Streptococcus pyogenes;

    Sammanfattning : Despite the discovery of antibiotics almost a century ago, infectious diseases continue to be a substantial cause of human mortality and morbidity worldwide, especially in developing countries. The adverse affects of infectious diseases are thought to increase over the coming years as the widespread misuse of antibiotic leads to the emergence of strains for which current therapies are ineffective.

  4. 8. Image Analysis Methods and Tools for Digital Histopathology Applications Relevant to Breast Cancer Diagnosis

    Författare :Andreas Kårsnäs; Robin Strand; Carolina Wählby; Ewert Bengtsson; Anant Madabhushi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; image analysis; breast cancer diagnosis; digital histopathology; immunohistochemistry; biomarker quantification; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

    Sammanfattning : In 2012, more than 1.6 million new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed and about half a million women died of breast cancer. The incidence has increased in the developing world. The mortality, however, has decreased. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Evaluation of amyloid precursor protein and ß-amyloid as biomarkers for Alzheimer s disease

    Författare :Annika Olsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Alzheimer s disease; amyloid precursor protein; ß-amyloid; biomarker; cerebrospinal fluid; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; plasma;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by accumulations of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. The major components of the amyloid deposits are the ß-amyloid (Aß) peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP). LÄS MER

  7. 10. A multivariate approach to computational molecular biology

    Författare :Fredrik Pettersson; Michael Sjöström; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PLS; PCA; biomarker; Drosophila; SNP; linkage; disequilibrium; bioinformatics; computational; molecular; biology; genomics; microarray; SELDI; proteomics; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the application of multivariate methods in analyses of genomic DNA sequences, gene expression and protein synthesis, which represent each of the steps in the central dogma of biology. The recent finalisation of large sequencing projects has given us a definable core of genetic data and large-scale methods for the dynamic quantification of gene expression and protein synthesis.
