A 1-year pilot study of intralymphatic injections of GAD-alum in individuals with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) with signs of high immunity: No safety concerns and resemblance to juvenile type 1 diabetes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aims To test, for the first time in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), the effects of autoantigen-specific immunotherapy by intralymphatic administration of aluminium-formulated recombinant human glutamic acid ... -
18F-FACBC PET/MRI in diagnostic assessment and neurosurgery of gliomas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Purpose This pilot study aimed to evaluate the amino acid tracer 18F-FACBC with simultaneous PET/MRI in diagnostic assessment and neurosurgery of gliomas. Materials and Methods Eleven patients with suspected primary or ... -
18F-FACBC PET/MRI in the evaluation of human brain metastases: a case report
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Abstract Background: Patients with metastatic cancer to the brain have a poor prognosis. In clinical practice, MRI is used to delineate, diagnose and plan treatment of brain metastases. However, MRI alone is limited in ... -
18F-Fluciclovine PET/MRI for preoperative lymph node staging in high-risk prostate cancer patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objective To investigate the diagnostic potential of simultaneous 18F-fluciclovine PET/MRI for pelvic lymph node (LN) staging in patients with high-risk prostate cancer. Methods High-risk prostate cancer patients (n=28) ... -
A 39 kb structural variant causing Lynch Syndrome detected by optical genome mapping and nanopore sequencing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by pathogenic germline variants in one of the four mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2. It is characterized by a significantly increased risk of ... -
3CAPS - A structural AP-site analogue as a tool to investigate DNA base excision repair
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Abasic sites (AP-sites) are frequent DNA lesions, arising by spontaneous base hydrolysis or as intermediates of base excision repair (BER). The hemiacetal at the anomeric centre renders them chemically reactive, which ... -
5-hydroxymethylcytosine marks mammalian origins acting as a barrier to replication
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In most mammalian cells, DNA replication occurs once, and only once between cell divisions. Replication initiation is a highly regulated process with redundant mechanisms that prevent errant initiation events. In lower ... -
53BP1 and BRCA1 control pathway choice for stalled replication restart
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The cellular pathways that restart stalled replication forks are essential for genome stability and tumor prevention. However, how many of these pathways exist in cells and how these pathways are selectively activated ... -
8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) controls hepatic gluconeogenesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) resides in close proximity to metabolic reactions, and is maintained by the 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) and other members of the base excision repair pathway. Here, we tested the hypothesis ... -
A balanced tissue composition reveals new metabolic and gene expression markers in prostate cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Molecular analysis of patient tissue samples is essential to characterize the in vivo variability in human cancers which are not accessible in cell-lines or animal models. This applies particularly to studies of tumor ... -
A ChIP-Seq Benchmark Shows That Sequence Conservation Mainly Improves Detection of Strong Transcription Factor Binding Sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background: Transcription factors are important controllers of gene expression and mapping transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) is key to inferring transcription factor regulatory networks. Several methods for ... -
A comparison of CT based measures of skeletal muscle mass and density from the Th4 and L3 levels in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Muscle mass and density assessed from CT-images at the L3 level are prognostic for survival and predict toxicity in cancer patients. However, L3 is not always included on routine CT-scans. We aimed to investigate ... -
A comprehensive analysis of the structure-function relationship in proteins based on local structure similarity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Background:Sequence similarity to characterized proteins provides testable functional hypotheses for less than 50% of the proteins identified by genome sequencing projects. With structural genomics it is believed that ... -
A conservative weight loss intervention relieves bowel symptoms in morbidly obese subjects with irritable bowel syndrome: a prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common in subjects with morbid obesity; the effect of weight loss programs on bowel symptoms is largely unknown. Methods. This prospective cohort study explored bowel symptoms, ... -
A cross-sectional study examining the prevalence of cachexia and areas of unmet need in patients with cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Purpose The semantics of defining cancer cachexia over the last decade has resulted in uncertainty as to the prevalence. This has further hindered the recognition and subsequent treatment of this condition. Following the ... -
A data driven approach reveals disease similarity on a molecular level
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Could there be unexpected similarities between different studies, diseases, or treatments, on a molecular level due to common biological mechanisms involved? To answer this question, we develop a method for computing ... -
A discrete dopaminergic projection from the incertohypothalamic A13 cell group to the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray in rat
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Several findings have indicated an involvement of dopamine in panic and defensive behaviors. The dorsolateral column of the periaqueductal gray (dlPAG) is crucially involved in the expression of panic attacks in humans and ... -
