There is a positive association between bacteraemia with Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between the timing of SBSEC bacteraemia and CRC is not well-established. Associations with other gastrointestinal cancers have also been suggested. Using national registries, we retrospectively examined the incidence of CRC and ot

Background: Previous population-based studies investigating the relationship between physical activity and the gut microbiota have relied on self-reported activity, prone to reporting bias. Here, we investigated the associations of accelerometer-based sedentary (SED), moderate-intensity (MPA), and vigorous-intensity (VPA) physical activity with the gut microbiota using cross-sectional data from th

Objectives Better understanding of societal factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination can have important implications for public health policy to increase uptake.Methods This study investigated sociodemographic determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake with ≥2 doses vs 0 doses, and ≥3 doses vs 2 doses, among adults (≥18 years) in a general population from Sweden followed from 27 December 2020 (n=

Whereas the characterization of B lymphoid progenitors has been facilitated by the identification of lineage-and stage-specific surface markers, the continued identification of differentially expressed proteins increases our capacity to explore normal and malignant B cell development. To identify novel surface markers with stage-specific expression patterns, we explored the reactivity of CD19+ B c

THM Moomsteatern 2004, samma år som Teaterhögskolan i Malmö fyllde 40 år beställde Moomsteatern i Malmö en uppdragsutbildning. Fem av teaterns skådespelare, som alla har intellektuell funktionsnedsättning, antogs till högskoleutbildning. Det var ett stort steg för alla parter. Utbildningen väckte stort intresse och bidrog till att Moomsteaterns skådespelare fick status som professionella scenkonst

Background: The Southern Swedish Malignant Melanoma (SSMM) research team is a truly cross functional group with members from oncology, clinical, surgery, bioinformatics, proteomics, and genomics initiatives. The SSMM’s objectives and goals are to develop, build and utilize cutting edge biobanks and OMICS platforms to better understand disease pathology and drug mechanisms. Within the research team

Background: Although case-control studies have identified numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with prostate cancer, the clinical role of these SNPs remains unclear. Objective: Evaluate previously identified SNPs for association with prostate cancer and accuracy in predicting prostate cancer in a large prospective population-based cohort of unscreened men. Design, setting, an

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) stem cells appear resistant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in vitro, but their impact and drug sensitivity in vivo has not been systematically assessed. We prospectively analyzed the proportion of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemic stem cells (LSCs, Ph+CD34+CD38=) and progenitor cells (LPCs, Ph+CD34+CD38+) from 46 newly diagnosed CML patients both at the

Background:The microRNA-205 (miR-205) has been shown to be deregulated in prostate cancer (PCa). Here we continue to investigate the prognostic and therapeutic potential of this microRNA.Methods:The expression of miR-205 is measured by qRT-PCR and in situ hybridisation in a well-documented PCa cohort. An AGO2-based RIP-Chip assay is used to identify targets that are verified with western blots, lu

The antibody microarrays have become widespread, but their use for quantitative analyses in clinical samples has not yet been established. We investigated an immunoassay based on nanoporous silicon antibody microarrays for quantification of total prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) in 80 clinical plasma samples, and provide quantitative data from a duplex microarray assay that simultaneously quantifie

Stretching DNA in nanochannels allows for direct, visual studies of genomic DNA at the single molecule level. In order to facilitate the study of the interaction of linear DNA with proteins in nanochannels, we have implemented a highly effective passivation scheme based on lipid bilayers. We show long-term passivation of nanochannel surfaces to several relevant reagents and demonstrate that the pe

To better understand how deformable and non-spherical particles behave in sorting devices based on deterministic lateral displacement we generate models of biological particles with tunable size, shape and mechanical properties using stop-flow lithography and we explore how these parameters play a role in our separation devices. Hollow and solid cylinders are compared with respect to their deforma

We present a simple and rapid microfluidic device capable of extracting and concentrating the parasite causing the fatal disease sleeping sickness (SS) from blood. The device is based on deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) and constructed with a single inlet with flow induced by an ordinary syringe. The simplicity is crucial as the device is intended for use in the resource depraved areas whe

Human tumors xenografted in immunodeficient mice are crucial models in nuclear medicine to evaluate the effectiveness of candidate diagnostic and therapeutic compounds. However, little attention has been focused on the biological profile of the host model and its potential effects on the bio-distribution and tumor targeting of the tracer compound under study. We specifically investigated the dissi

Previous studies of prostate cancer (PCa) risk and anthropometrics (ie, body measurements) were based on single measurements or obtained over limited time spans.

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a well-established tumor marker, which is frequently employed as model biomarker to develop and evaluate emerging quantitative proteomics techniques, partially due to wide access to commercialized immunoassays serving as "gold standard". We designed a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assay to detect PSA proteoforms in clinical samples (n=72), utilizing specific

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. There have been several reports of miRNA deregulation in prostate cancer and the biological evidence for an involvement of miRNAs in prostate tumorigenesis is increasing. In this study, we show that miR-34c is downregulated in prostate cancer (p = 0.0005) by performing qRT-PCR on 49 TURPs from prosta

Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA) is a rare congenital disease causing severe anaemia and progressive bone marrow failure. The majority of patients carry mutations in ribosomal proteins, which leads to depletion of erythroid progenitors in the bone marrow. As many as 40% of all DBA patients receive glucocorticoids to alleviate their anaemia. However, despite their use in DBA treatment for more than h
