During the Edo Period of Japanese history, many loanwords entered the Japanese language through communication with the Dutch. Now, 164 years after the last significant linguistic exchange took place between the Dutch and the Japanese, it is interesting to see what lexical influence still exists in contemporary modern Japanese and which loanwords have fallen out of use. Therefore, the aim of this b

Transfer RNAs are adaptor molecules, which decode mRNA into protein and,thereby, play a central role in gene expression. During the maturation of a primarytRNA transcript, specific subsets of the four normal nucleosides adenosine,cytidine, guanosine, and uridine are modified. The formation of a modified nucleosidecan require more than one gene product and may involve several enzymaticsteps. In the

By far the largest number of Swedish citizens permanently residing in Portugal settles on the Algarve or in the Lisbon area, generally close to their compatriots. Those

This paper discusses the growing regional socio-economic disparity in Sweden and investigates two regions’ power relationship with the economically and politically dominant Stockholm region: one region with a negative economic trajectory and the other with a positive economic development over 25 years. The conceptual framework is based on the topography/topology nexus, using the key concepts of ‘r

The past few decades have seen a full resurgence of the question of whether speakers of different languages think differently, also known as the Whorfian question. A characteristic of this neo-Whorfian enterprise is that the knowledge it has generated stems from psycholinguistic laboratory methods. As a consequence, our knowledge about how Whorfian effects play out in naturally occurring behaviour

Immunotherapies with antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC) and CAR-T cells, targeted at tumor surface antigens (surfaceome), currently revolutionize clinical oncology. However, target identification warrants a better understanding of the surfaceome and how it is modulated by the tumor microenvironment. Here, we decode the surfaceome and endocytome and its remodeling by hypoxic stress in glioblastoma (GBM
