Background The implementation of immunological biomarkers for radiotherapy (RT) individualization in breast cancer requires consideration of tumor-intrinsic factors. This study aimed to investigate whether the integration of histological grade, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) can identify tumors with aggressive ch

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning (1) En stor del av världens befolkning dabbas av cancer någon gång under deras livstid.

Det finns därför en stor efterfrågan av nya substanser som kan hjälpa oss att förstå de fundamentala orsakerna till olika typer av cancer och eventuellt fungera som botemedel. KolhydraAbstract (1) Carbohydrates are a class of biomolecules that play important roles within the cellular biochemistry. Functionalized carbohydrates are building blocks in our DNA in addition to being major components of the cell’s signaling molecules called proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Certain carbohydrates with aromatic side chains have been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of these signali

While calls to reduce air travel have emerged in many high-income countries, Nepal, with only one international airport, is still striving to improve its air connectivity. In 2015, the government resumed its 1995 plan to build a second international airport near Nijgadh, a town in the southern plains. The project has since come under scrutiny from conservationists after plans emerged for extensive
