Varje år, diagnostiseras ungefär 500 000 kvinnor och 270 000 dör i sjukdomen, varav de flesta dödsfallen sker i utvecklingsländer. Livmoderhalscancer orsakas av det vanligt förekommande viruset humant papillomvirus (HPV) och för att hitta bättre behandling mot sHuman papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small DNA viruses that have evolved over millions of years and are well-adapted to humans. Persistent infections with HPVs, can result in cancer development. There are over 200 different HPV types that can be divided into high- and low risk types based on their ability to cause cancer.

In recent years, overall survival was significantly prolonged in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) patients due to improved treatment regimen. However, there is still a subgroup of patients that relapse after a short time. Better understanding of the underlying genetic and non-genetic events can be used to achieve personalized medicine for each patient. MCL is associated with the translocation t(11;14)(q

Neurala progenitorceller kan rädda din mentala hälsa Ett utsträckt mänskliga genom hade varit nästan 2 meter långt och kräver därför sofistikerade packningsmetoder för att få plats i en organisms alla celler. Ett viktigt protein för detta ändamål är Heterokromatin Protein 1 (HP1) som paketerar genomet till en struktur som kallas Heterokromatin. Denna kompakta form av genomet är inte bara ett sät

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is the most predominant protein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which is an essential component for reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). ApoA-I has many health-promoting functions, such as anti-atherosclerosis and antioxidant properties; however, carriers of certain rare mutations in the APOA1 gene suffer from a disease called hereditary ApoA-I-related amyloidosis. A

LL-37 peptidens roll i det orala immunsystemet Munhålan exponeras för en stor mängd bakterier varje dag, vilket gör det viktigt att ha ett fungerande immunförsvar. Vid kariesangrepp urlakas mineraler från tandens hårda vävnader (dentin) på grund av lokala pH-sänkningar orsakade av bakterier i munhålan. De första cellerna som bakterierna stöter på när de invaderar och bryter ner tandsubstans kalla
