1. From 1p3 to PI3K - Studies of neuroblastoma
Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma (NB) is a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system and is the most common extra-cranial tumor of childhood, accounting for 7% of all pediatric malignancies. Despite recent advances in therapeutics, outcome is still fatal for patients with aggressive NB and side-effects of treatment are severe. LÄS MER
2. Non-canonical TGFb signaling pathways in prostate cancer
Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men in the Western world. Deregulation of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathway is frequently detected in prostate cancer and contributes to tumor growth, migration, and invasion. LÄS MER
3. Stem Cell Factor Induced Signal Transduction
Sammanfattning : Stem Cell Factor (SCF) can function as a survival factor, a mitogen or a chemoattractant depending on cell type. Binding of SCF to c-Kit induces dimerization and subsequent autophosphorylation of the receptor. This thesis describes the intracellular signal transduction elicited by c-Kit. LÄS MER
4. Exploration of host cells during old world alphavirus infection : modulation of RNA granules and the PI3K/AKT pathway
Sammanfattning : As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses have to explore and modulate cellular pathways for their survival. Mechanistic studies of virus–host interactions provide a better understanding of viral infection and cellular responses and help to identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention. LÄS MER
5. Hitting the right targets : a study of molecular mediators of sensitivity to novel potential targeted therapies in cutaneous malignant melanoma
Sammanfattning : Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is the deadliest form of skin cancer with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of less than 10% among patients diagnosed with disseminated disease. During the past decade the emergence and use of novel targeted therapy and immunotherapy has significantly increased the 5-year OS rate (34%). LÄS MER
