• Complex I and its role in aerobic and anaerobic growth of Cereibacter sphaeroides 

      Fondevik, Eline (Bachelor thesis, 2022)
      Complex I is a big protein complex in the electron transport chain and works as the entry point of electrons from NADH into the electron transport chain. Complex I in Cereibacter sphaeroides differs from complex I in many ...
    • Determining the impact of the R249S mutation on Tp53 gene on cell survivability during AFB1 exposure 

      Fonnes, Helene (Bachelor thesis, 2022)
      Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent and malignant cancers worldwide and is found to be endemic in the same geographically areas as high exposure with Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). AFB1 is a mycotoxin, naturally ...
    • GREM1 is associated with metastasis and predicts poor prognosis in ER-negative breast cancer patients 

      Neckmann, Ulrike; Wolowczyk, Camilla; Hall, Martina; Almaas, Eivind; Ren, Jiang; Zhao, Sen; Johannessen, Bjarne; Skotheim, Rolf I.; Bjørkøy, Geir; Dijke, Peter Ten; Holien, Toril (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background In breast cancer, activation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling and elevated levels of BMP-antagonists have been linked to tumor progression and metastasis. However, the simultaneous upregulation of ...
    • Heterogeneity within the 66cl4 cell line from the 4T1 model of metastatic breast cancer 

      Tran, Tuong Vy Thi (Master thesis, 2018)
      Breast cancer is one of the most common form of cancer among women globally and metastasis is the primary cause of death in breast cancer patients. In the past decades it has been increasingly known that tumors are ...
    • NRF2 drives an oxidative stress response predictive of breast cancer 

      Wolowczyk, Camilla; Neckmann, Ulrike; Aure, Miriam Ragle; Hall, Martina; Johannessen, Bjarne; Zhao, Sen; Skotheim, Rolf I.; Andersen, Sonja Benedikte; Zwiggelaar, Rosalie Theda Margien; Steigedal, Tonje S.; Lingjærde, Ole Christian; Sahlberg, Kristine Kleivi; Almaas, Eivind; Bjørkøy, Geir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Many breast cancer patients are diagnosed with small, well-differentiated, hormone receptor-positive tumors. Risk of relapse is not easily identified in these patients, resulting in overtreatment. To identify metastasis-related ...
    • The Impact of Temperature on Developmental Morphology and LR Asymmetry in Astyanax mexicanus 

      Strand, Sara Hayashi (Bachelor thesis, 2023)
      Organer som hjertet, leveren og bukspyttkjertelen viser asymmetri på tvers av venstre-høyre akse hos de fleste virveldyr. Riktig etablering av venstre-høyre asymmetri er avgjørende for riktig organisering og funksjon av ...
