Abstract
A type of cancer which originates from the breast tissue is referred to as breast cancer. Globally, it is the most common cause of death in women. Treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy are the main strategies in the fight against breast cancer. The present study aims at investigating the effects of the combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy as a way to treat breast cancer, and different treatment approaches are incorporated into the model. Also, the model is fitted to data on patients with breast cancer in Tanzania. We determine new treatment strategies, and finally, we show that when sufficient amount of chemotherapy and radiotherapy with a low decay rate is used, the drug will be significantly more effective in combating the disease while health cells remain above the threshold.

Project description:116 Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) samples from the TB-DAR study, based on a cohort of adult pulmonary tuberculosis patients recruited in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
WGS was performed at the Health2030 Genome Center in Geneva on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 instrument (Illumina Inc, San Diego CA, USA), starting from1μg of whole blood genomic DNA and using Illumina TruSeq DNA PCR-Free reagents for library preparation and the 150nt paired-end sequencing configuration. Average coverage was above 30X for 75 samples, between 10X and 30Xfor 40 samples, and approximately 8X for a single sample. Sequencing reads were aligned to the GRCh38 (GCA_000001405.15) reference genome using bwa (Version 0.7.17).

Project description:Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) generates chronic systemic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. The liver is the master regulator of metabolism and to determine the impact of pulmonary TB on this organ we undertook unbiased mRNA analyses of the liver in mice with TB. Pulmonary TB led to upregulation of genes in the liver related to interferon signalling and glycolysis, and downregulation of genes encoding gluconeogenesis rate-limiting enzyme

Project description:Most individuals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis can control the infection by forming and maintaining TB granulomas at the local infection foci. However, when the chronic infection (also known as latency) becomes active, the caseous center of TB granuloma enlarges, and it liquefies and cavitates, ultimately releasing bacilli into airway. Deciphering how genes are regulated within TB granulomas will help to understand the granuloma biology. Therefore, we performed genome-wide microarray on caseous human pulmonary TB granulomas and compared with normal lung tissues.
