• Angiogenesis and radiological tumor growth in patients with glioblastoma 

      Mikkelsen, Vilde Elisabeth; Stensjøen, Anne Line; Granli, Unn Sophie; Berntsen, Erik Magnus; Salvesen, Øyvind; Solheim, Ole; Torp, Sverre Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background The preoperative growth of human glioblastomas (GBMs) has been shown to vary among patients. In animal studies, angiogenesis has been linked to hypoxia and faster growth of GBM, however, its relation to the ...
    • The histological representativeness of glioblastoma tissue samples 

      Mikkelsen, Vilde Elisabeth; Solheim, Ole; Salvesen, Øyvind; Torp, Sverre Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background Glioblastomas (GBMs) are known for having a vastly heterogenous histopathology. Several studies have shown that GBMs can be histologically undergraded due to sampling errors of small tissue samples. We sought ...
    • Human Glioblastomas: Histopathology, Tumor Growth, and MGMT Status 

      Mikkelsen, Vilde Elisabeth (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:22, Doctoral thesis, 2021)
      Glioblastomer er den vanligste og mest aggressive typen hjernesvulst som oppstår i hjernen hos voksne. Glioblastomene har en meget aggressiv og kompleks biologi, som medfører en dårlig prognose på omtrent 10 måneder etter ...
    • MGMT Promoter Methylation Status Is Not Related to Histological or Radiological Features in IDH Wild-type Glioblastomas 

      Mikkelsen, Vilde Elisabeth; Hong, Yan Dai; Stensjøen, Anne Line; Berntsen, Erik Magnus; Salvesen, Øyvind; Solheim, Ole; Torp, Sverre Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation is an important favorable predictive marker in patients with glioblastoma (GBM). We hypothesized that MGMT status could be a surrogate marker of pretreatment ...
    • Microglia and macrophages in human glioblastomas: A morphological and immunohistochemical study 

      Kvisten, Magnus; Mikkelsen, Vilde Elisabeth; Stensjøen, Anne Line; Solheim, Ole; van der Want, Johannes Jacobus Leendert; Torp, Sverre Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Glioblastomas (GBMs), a type of highly malignant brain tumour, contain various macrophages/microglia that are known as tumour‑associated macrophages (TAMs). These TAMs have various roles in tumour biology. Histopathological ...
