Analysis of Extracellular Vesicle-Associated Proteoglycans

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a central mechanism of intercellular communication in physiology and disease. EVs participate in paracrine exchange of nucleic acids as well as lipids, proteins, and glycans to elicit a complex biological response in target cells. Proteoglycans (PGs) are widely expressed in EV-producing cells and are sorted to the membrane of secreted EVs to participate

Kommunikation i samband med sanering efter radioaktivt nedfall

Denna vägledning har som syfte att bidra till vägledning kring kommunikation i samband med sanering efter kärnteknisk olycka med nedfall. Fokus är inriktat på kommunikation med allmänheten. Vägledningen består av resonemang, principer att beakta, frågor att reflektera över och några konkreta råd.

Jungfraujoch : hardware-accelerated data-acquisition system for kilohertz pixel-array X-ray detectors

The JUNGFRAU 4-megapixel (4M) charge-integrating pixel-array detector, when operated at a full 2 kHz frame rate, streams data at a rate of 17 GB s-1. To operate this detector for macromolecular crystallography beamlines, a data-acquisition system called Jungfraujoch was developed. The system, running on a single server with field-programmable gate arrays and general-purpose graphics processing uni

The Swedish medical birth register during five decades : documentation of the content and quality of the register

Pregnancy-related factors are important for short- and long-term health in mothers and offspring. The nationwide population-based Swedish Medical Birth Register (MBR) was established in 1973. The present study describes the content and quality of the MBR, using original MBR data, Swedish-language and international publications based on the MBR. The MBR includes around 98% of all births in Sweden.

JFeature : Know Your Corpus

Software corpora are crucial for evaluating research artifacts and ensuring repeatability of outcomes. Corpora such as DaCapo and Defects4J provide a collection of real-world open-source projects for evaluating the robustness and performance of software tools like static analysers. However, what do we know about these corpora? What do we know about their composition? Are they really suited for our

No New Rights in Fedotova

In Fedotova and others v Russia issued on 17 January 2023, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court), held that Russia had breached its positive obligation to secure the applicants’ right to respect for their private and family life under Article 8 of the Convention by failing to provide any form of legal recognition and protection for same sex couples.In a post

Multienzyme deep learning models improve peptide de novo sequencing by mass spectrometry proteomics

Generating and analyzing overlapping peptides through multienzymatic digestion is an efficient procedure for de novo protein using from bottom-up mass spectrometry (MS). Despite improved instrumentation and software, de novo MS data analysis remains challenging. In recent years, deep learning models have represented a performance breakthrough. Incorporating that technology into de novo protein seq

Borgar i Skåne : Guide till historiska platser

En presentation av den allmänna borgutvecklingen inleder en katalogisering av 166 skånska borgplatser. Därefter presenteras 44 borgar med en fyllig beskrivning, bilder, rekonstruktioner samt analogt kartmaterial och en digital möjlighet att finna den aktuella lokalen.

Manganese efflux transporter SLC30A10 missense polymorphism T95I associated with liver injury retains manganese efflux activity

The activity of the manganese (Mn) efflux transporter SLC30A10 in the liver and intestines is critical for Mn excretion and preventing Mn toxicity. Homozygous loss-of-function mutations in SLC30A10 are a well-established cause of hereditary Mn toxicity. But, the relationship between more common SLC30A10 polymorphisms, Mn homeostasis, and disease is only recently emerging. In 2021, the first coding

Digital Transformation of the Automotive Industry : An Integrating Framework to Analyse Technological Novelty and Breadth

Research demonstrates that digital technologies stimulate industrial transformation by enabling new interdependencies with firms outside and across firm and industry boundaries. However, we know little about the degree of novelty and breadth of digital technologies that have the potential to transform industries. Understanding the degree of novelty (spanning from radical to incremental) and breadt

Adaptive Water Management : On the Need for Using the Post-WWII Science in Water Governance

Although the UN concluded, already in 1997, that water would be the most contentious issue of the 21st century, water governance is still confused, nearly everywhere. Even the severe impacts of escalating water bankruptcy and global warming have so far failed to incur a marked improvement in governance systems. The global community has adopted sustainable development as a common vision and guide f

Shear bond and compressive strength of clay stabilised with lime/cement jet grouting and deep mixing : A case of Norvik, Nynäshamn

The strength of soil can significantly increase by stabilisation with binders. Adding binders in correct proportions to improve soil parameters is of paramount importance for earthworks. In this article, we presented a framework to explore strength characteristics of soil stabilised by several binders and evaluated using applied geophysical methods by estimated P-wave velocities. The core of our w

A Social Sciences and Humanities research agenda for transport and mobility in Europe : key themes and 100 research questions

Transport and mobility systems need to be transformed to meet climate change goals and reduce negative environmental and social effects. Despite EU policies having targeted such problems for more than three decades, transitions have been slow and geographically uneven. For effective change to happen, transport and mobility research needs fresh perspectives and better integration of knowledge from

Injury-related cell death and proteoglycan loss in articular cartilage : Numerical model combining necrosis, reactive oxygen species, and inflammatory cytokines

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disease that leads to deterioration of articular cartilage, joint pain, and decreased quality of life. When OA develops after a joint injury, it is designated as post-traumatic OA (PTOA). The etiology of PTOA remains poorly understood, but it is known that proteoglycan (PG) loss, cell dysfunction, and cell death in cartilage are among the first signs

Prespacer Glycosides in Glycoconjugate Chemistry. Dibromoisobutyl (DIB) Glycosides for the Synthesis of Neoglycolipids, Neoglycoproteins, Neoglycoparticles, and Soluble Glycosides

3-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)propyl (dibromoisobutyl or DIB) mono- to tetrasaccharide glycosides were prepared in moderate to high yields by treatment of the corresponding 1-0-acetyl saccharides with 3-bromo-2-(bromo-methyl)propanol (DIBOL) and boron trifluoride etherate. Treatment of the DIB glycosides with alkyl- and ω-methoxycarbonylalkyl thiols gave the corresponding bis-sulfide glycolipids and spac

A phenome-wide comparative analysis of genetic discordance between obesity and type 2 diabetes

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are causally related, yet there is considerable heterogeneity in the consequences of both conditions and the mechanisms of action are poorly defined. Here we show a genetic-driven approach defining two obesity profiles that convey highly concordant and discordant diabetogenic effects. We annotate and then compare association signals for these profiles across clinical an

The link between body size, colouration and thermoregulation and their integration into ecogeographical rules : a critical appraisal in light of climate change

Biological rules describe general morphological, structural and genetic patterns within and across species. Within these, ecogeographical rules correlate phenotypic variation of organisms with biogeography. The latter have been developed over the last 150 years, and recently have gained renewed attention due to climate change, as researchers try to predict how species will respond to different env

How melanism affects the sensitivity of lizards to climate change

The impact of climate change on global biodiversity is firmly established, but the differential effect of climate change on populations within the same species is rarely considered. In ectotherms, melanism (i.e. darker integument due to heavier deposition of melanin) can significantly influence thermoregulation, as dark individuals generally heat more and faster than bright ones. Therefore, darker
