Roten till cancer? Cancer är en ledande orsak till en stor mängd dödsfall i världen och därför en fruktad sjukdom. Forskningen gör dock framsteg och man kommer allt närmre svaren på gåtorna. På senare år har det föreslagits att en speciell typ av celler, cancerstamceller, är drivande och ligger bakom flera av cancersjukdomarnas egenskaper. Alla organismer är uppbyggda av celler, den stora majoriIn recent years increasing evidence supporting the stem cell hypothesis have emerged and cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been reported to have been isolated in a wide variety of cancers. This CSC population has been attributed to contribute to the therapeutic resistance of many cancers and it is thus of great interest to find new therapeutic options targeting these cells. In ileal carcinoids however

This letter proposes a novel, low-cost, single-layer filtering antenna (filtenna) for wireless communications. The design consists of a compact circular substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity, a centrally offset metal post for feeding, and a slot radiator for efficient radiation. It is based on an SIW coaxial line and utilizes multiple TM and quasi-TM modes. Unlike filtennas that rely on inli

Supercritical heat transfer deterioration can be found in active regenerative cooling processes. Thermal pyrolysis occurs once the temperature of the hydrocarbon fuel exceeds a certain value. To investigate the influence of thermal pyrolysis on the heat transfer behavior and flow-upward characteristics in a rectangular channel, the wall temperature distribution, thermal acceleration, mass fraction

Objective: To examine and compare the adult outcome in a representative sample of hospitalized adolescent-onset psychoses including occupational and social aspects. Method: A total of 81 patients with a first episode of early-onset psychosis (before age 19 years) presenting to the University Hospital of Lund, Sweden, between 1982 and 1993 were followed up an average of 10.5 years (range 5.1-18.2)

Purpose: To report a severe phenotype of retinitis pigmentosa associated with novel mutations in CNGB1. Observations: Six siblings, age range 50–75 years old, were examined using optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescene, electroretinogram testing, Goldman visual field testing, and genetic testing using next generation sequencing. In four affected siblings, two novel compound heteroz

Ray-Triangle intersection is a fundamental computation in most ray tracing algorithms. The prohibitive cost of the ray-triangle test algorithms, however, limits the utilization of these algorithms in settings with low power budgets, such as mobile systems. In this work, we analyze the precision requirements for ray-triangle intersection and observe that for most of the rays a low-precision is suff

Background: In Sweden, cobalt chloride 0.5% has been included in the baseline series since the mid-1980s. A recent study from Stockholm showed that cobalt chloride 1% petrolatum (pet.) was more suitable than 0.5%. Cobalt chloride at 1.0% has been patch tested for decades in many European countries and around the world. Objectives: To study the suitability of patch testing to cobalt 1.0% vs 0.5% an

Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) is one of the key drivers of anthropogenic climate change. In addition to greenhouse gases such as CO2 or CH4, LULCC affects also the emission of other carbon trace gases such as biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). We investigate the impact of changing LULCC on the emission of isoprene and monoterpenes during the 21st century using seven different la

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the event-by-event variation of the elliptic flow v2 reflects fluctuations in the shape of the initial state of the system. This allows to select events with the same centrality but different initial geometry. This selection technique, Event Shape Engineering, has been used in the analysis of charge-dependent two- and three-particle correlations in Pb–Pb

This study explores the renewable energy cooperation between China and the Gulf countries, particularly Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, focusing on how this collaboration addresses underlying structural asymmetries. These asymmetries include China's technological advancements, institutional frameworks, and discursive power, as well as the Gulf's resource and capital endowments.

Real-time 3D reconstruction is crucial for immersive AR/VR but is hard to achieve with traditional photogrammetry and mesh-based pipelines due to latency and limited scalability. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) enable high-quality novel view synthesis but suffer from long training and slow rendering, while Gaussian Splatting (GS) achieves real-time rendering at the cost of heavy preprocessing and me

Microbial bio-aroma synthesized from biowaste, and its marketing is an emerging aspect of future research due to their benefits. However, the sensory lexicon of bio-aroma has not yet been developed so far. This study aims to identify the smell characteristics of bio-aroma produced by fermentative yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus by solid-state fermentation, where the sample was extracted from ferment

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) provides great potential to experimentally investigate effects of peers on student learning in class and to strategically deploy virtual peer learners to improve learning. The present study examined how three social-related classroom configurations (i.e., students' position in the classroom, visualization style of virtual avatars, and virtual classmates' performance

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between self-perceived voice problems and social participation among older adults (65-80 years). A complementary aim was to investigate the association between self-perceived voice problems and physical activity. Method Participants were recruited through social media and asked to complete an online questionnaire. In total, 152 individuals we
