Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are recognized for their ability to self-renew and create more stem cells while also being able to differentiate into all different types of blood cells. Stem cells can do symmetric or asymmetric divisions but the biological relevance of different types of divisions is still unclear. Steady state HSCs have been found to perform both symmetric and asymmetric division

In contrast to the upfront setting in which the role of high-dose therapy with autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as consolidation of a first remission in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is well established, the role of high-dose therapy with autologous or allogeneic HCT has not been extensively studied in MM patients relapsing after primary therapy. The International Myeloma
BACKGROUND: The FFAR1 receptor is expressed mainly in pancreatic beta cells and is activated by medium to long chain free fatty acids (FFAs), as well as by thiazolidinediones, resulting in elevated Ca(2+) concentrations and promotion of insulin secretion. These properties suggest that FFAR1 could be a mediator of lipotoxicity and a potential candidate gene for Type 2 diabetes (T2D). We therefore i
Background: It is a critical challenge to diagnose leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), given its technical difficulty and the lack of typical symptoms. The existing gold standard of diagnosing LM is to use positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology, which consumes significantly more time to classify cells under a microscope.Objective: This study aims to establish a deep learning model to classify can
To study how mechanical factors influence the spread of cancer and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), it is crucial that cancer cell populations be sorted without labels in relevant subpopulations with respect to mechanical properties. It is also important to confine subpopulations for long-term observation to track changes, in inherent properties of the subpopulations, and on the influen
The sporulating, filamentous soil bacterium Streptomyces venezuelae ATCC 10712 differentiates under submerged and surface growth conditions. In order to lay a solid foundation for the study of development-associated division for this organism, a congenic set of mutants was isolated, individually deleted for a gene encoding either a cytoplasmic (i.e. ftsZ) or core inner membrane (i.e. divIC, ftsL,
Background: Myocardial fibrosis, expressed as late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), is an important risk factor for malignant cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, CMR is not easily available, expensive, also needing intravenous access and contrast. Objective: To determine if derived vectorcardiographic spatial QRS-T angles, an aspec

Ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCC) constitute a rare subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer, lacking efficient treatment options. Based on previous studies, we assessed the anti-proliferative effect of simvastatin, a Rho GTPase interfering drug, in three OCCC cell lines: JHOC-5, OVMANA and TOV-21G, and one high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) cell line, Caov3. We used the Rho GTPase interferin
This thesis presents the results from a study of the first four years of diabetes in 879 patients aged 15-34 years at diagnosis. The aims of this study were to compare clinical classification with the presence of autoantibodies, to study the natural course of beta cell function during the first years of disease and to define predictive factors for the remaining beta cell function after diagnosis.
The main information in DNA is its four-letter sequence that builds up the genetic information and that is traditionally read using sequencing methodologies. DNA can, however, also carry other important information, such as epigenetic marks and DNA damage. This information has recently been visualized along single DNA molecules using fluorescent labels. Quantifying fluorescent labels along DNA is
Purification of proteins for the biophysical analysis of protein interactions occurring in human cells can benefit from methods that facilitate the capture of small amounts of natively processed protein obtained using transient mammalian expression systems. We have used a novel calcium-dependent fragment complementation-based affinity method to effectively purify full length glycogen synthase kina
We have accomplished deep tissue optical imaging of upconverting nanoparticles at 800 nm, using millisecond single pulse excitation with high peak power. This is achieved by carefully choosing the pulse parameters, derived from time-resolved rate-equation analysis, which result in higher intrinsic quantum yield that is utilized by upconverting nanoparticles for generating this near infrared upconv
Popular science summary Cancer is a disease of growth. The cancerous cells have lost the ability to stop themselves from growing and dividing. They often grow so fast that they can't get enough oxygen, the blood vessels can't keep up with their demand. We call this hypoxia. One might think this is a good thing, we don't want cancers to grow unchecked. But our cells have ways to deal w
