    • Et nettverk av førstehjelpere i det minelagte Nord-Irak. Et spørsmål om liv eller død. 

      Edvardsen, Odd (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2006-11-08)
      Etter krigen mellom Iran og Irak var grenseområdene i det kurdiske Nord-Irak et av verdens verste mineområder. Tvangsevakuerte landsbyboere kom tilbake til en minelagt slagmark. Skade- og dødstallene var høye og det var lange transportveier til nærmeste medisinske hjelpetilbud. Den norske hjelpeorganisasjonen Trauma Care Foundation,TCF (se ordliste) startet i 1996 et opplæringsprogram av førstehjelpere ...

    • Etablering av et system for å studere funksjonelle konsekvenser av kreftspesifikke DDR2 mutasjoner 

      Aburayya, Mahmoud (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-20)
      Discoidin domene reseptor 2 (DDR2) er en unik reseptor tyrosinkinase (RTK) som aktiveres av ulike typer kollagen. DDR2 er involvert i regulering av celledifferensiering, remodelering av ekstracellulær matriks, cellemigrasjon, og celleproliferasjon. Nye studier viser at DDR2 er mutert i flere kreftformer, og spesielt lungekreft. Konsekvensen av disse kreftspesifikke mutasjoner er i midlertidig ikke ...

    • Etablering av forhold for stabil antistoffproduksjon fra EBV-transformerte humane B-celler 

      Nicholls, Emma (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-06-02)
      Føtal neonatal alloimmun trombocytopeni (FNAIT) er en alvorlig tilstand som kan oppstå under graviditeten der morens immunforsvar angriper fosterets trombocytter. I arbeidet med å forstå den cellulære responsen knyttet til blodplatereaktive antistoffer er det gjort forsøk på å hente ut spesifikke B-celler fra alloimmuniserte gravide. Utfordringen er at de isolerte B-cellene er ustabile; de dør, ...

    • Etablering av metode for måling av inhibitorisk aktivitet mot cysteinproteaser og studier av cystatiner i makrofager og kreftceller 

      Rakvaag, Hilde (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-06-19)
      Makrofager kan utgjøre en betydelig del av en kreftsvulst. Det er tidligere vist at monocytter ved differensiering mot makrofager uttrykker økte mengder av enkelte cysteinproteaser. Maligne celler er vist å bruke cysteinproteaser i forbindelse med metastasering, og endogene cysteinproteasehemmere antas å kunne hemme denne prosessen. Det var derfor interessant å studere reguleringen i uttrykk og ...

    • Etablering av testrepertoar med høy klinisk sensitivitet og spesifisitet for heparin-indusert trombocytopeni
