Project description:To systematically evaluate the effect of embryo lysates feeding, we conducted small RNA sequencing on day 7 N2 worms treated with either embryo or day 6 worm lysates. Our findings revealed that embryo lysates affected the 21ur-6059 expression.
Project description:To systematically evaluate the effect of embryo lysates feeding, we conducted RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on day 7 N2 worms treated with embryo lysates. Our findings revealed that embryo lysates affected the expression of genes related to fatty acid metabolism, degradation of branched-chain amino acids, and lysosome functions. Notably, worms treated with embryo lysates showed increased fatty acid degradation gene expression and decreased fatty acid elongation gene expression.
Project description:In order to improve and individualize cancer treatment, personalized treatment needs to be developed much further. Liver metastasizing colorectal cancer is treated with a combination of oncological and surgical interventions. The selection of chemotherapy is today mainly done according to best guess. Today only a small fraction of oncological treatment may be known to be effective in a person before treatment start, most often it is trial and error. A fast reliable system for looking at response to different treatments in each unique patient is much needed and would, if successful, completely change the way we give oncological treatment today. Patient’s tumor tissue will be evaluated with use of zebrafish embryo avatars to evaluate tumour growth and response to different combinations of chemotherapy. If successful interventional studies are planned.
