1. Small-Scale Dosimetry for the Testis: Applications in Nuclear Medicine Diagnostics and Therapy
Sammanfattning : It is well known that the testicles are among the most radiosensitive tissue, and constitute an important critical target for both external and internal radiation during diagnostic and therapeutic use of radionuclides. In systemic radionuclide therapy where very high activities are administered, the testis may become a dose-limiting organ; often with a complex, non-uniform activity distribution and a resulting non-uniform absorbed-dose distribution.

2. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons : DNA damage and cell signaling
Sammanfattning : Oxidative stress is a threat to our wellbeing. The formation of reactive oxygen species may result in oxidative lesions in DNA and RNA. When challenging A549 cells with 18O-labeled hydrogen peroxide, we found that RNA was between 14-25 times more sensitive to [18O]-8-oxoGuo formation than [18O]-8-oxodGuo formation in DNA. LÄS MER
3. Modulation of activity of the tumour suppressor p53 by small molecules and damaged DNA
Sammanfattning : The p53 is a potent tumor suppressor, which becomes activated in response to stress. The activated p53 triggers a cell cycle arrest in GI or apoptosis, ensuring a suppression of a tumor development by the elimination of cells carrying potentially tumorigenic lesions. LÄS MER
