- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
To which family of membrane receptors does the ErbB2 receptor belong?
ERBB2 = HER2
On which biomarker does Transtuzumab work, and which pathway is inhibited?
Where does FISH stand for, and what is it?
- Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization
- use of: tissue slides, well defined probes, a hybridisation protocol and a visualisation tool such as fluorescence microscopy
- focus on a specific gene
- mainly used for detection of amplifications, numerical alterations
What is HER2 amplification?
What is in the pathology FFPE tissue?
What does MLPA stand for, and what does it mean?
- Multiplex Ligation Dependent Probe Amplification
- Amplification of MLPA probes, not of sample DNA
- Probes are composed of synthetic oligonucleotides complementary to the target sequence, primers sequence X and Y that are needed for PCR after probe hybridization and a stuffer sequence which differs in length between the different probes in the assay.
- up to 50 probes are present in one DNA sample
- Detection of chromosomal deletions (losses)
- Multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification
- focus on multiple genes
How do MLPA result look like?
Translocation, gene fusion > Biological effect
- By the fusion; the coding region of gene X fuses to the coding region of gene Y
- Generation of a chimeric fusion gene
- chimaera transcript
- chimaera protein
- Oncogenic properties, by merge of protein domains that originate from both fusion partners
- examples: gene fusions/translocations that are associated with sarcoma or with lung cancer.
Are break points in fusion genes mostly in intronic or exotic?
- Breakpoints in fusion genes are mostly intronic
- different breakpoints in an intron and / or breakpoints in different introns
- RT-PCR:
- chromosomal translocations (in sarcoma) result in a fusion transcript
- analysis of mRNA > cDNA (and need for 1 forward primer to detect multiple breakpoints.
What should be kept in mind by using DNA/RNA from tissue?
- Sufficient tissue, DNA/RNA
- DNA/RNA quality (from FFPE) sufficient for the analysis?
- from tissue that is representative
To what can chromosomal translocations lead ?
