Clay is described as an ancient material with a great future. “The potential areas of application are huge,” says an enthusiastic Marie Skepö, professor of theoretical chemistry whom we recently welcomed as an affiliated faculty member of NanoLund. Clay is a material that has been used since ancient times for protecting, building, and carrying things. If we learn more about how to change various p

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. 5G handlar inte bara om snabbare surf. En minst lika stor ”game changer” är att 5G gör mer kommunikation trådlös än idag. Forskaren Emma Fitzgerald listar prylarna som kan kopplas upp - och de tekniska utmaningar som först måste lösas för att förändringen verkligen ska hända. Teknikskiften förändrar samhället, hur v

OBJECTIVE: Mapping coreceptor epitopes used by the prototypic R5 and X4 strains, HIV-1BaL and HIV-1IIIB, in comparison with epitopes involved in the activation and signaling induced by the natural ligands, RANTES and SDF-1beta. DESIGN: Receptor hybrids between CCR5 and CXCR4 were constructed. METHODS: Using single-overlap and extension PCR, increasing portions of CCR5 were replaced with correspond

The aim of present study was to arrange an experimental rabbit model for IgA-nephropathy. To this purpose, an approach was attempted which was previously successfully applied in rabbits, aiming for induction of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN). To induce the nephropathy, we used two Streptococcus pyogenes strains of M4 and M60 serotypes which showed differential IgA-binding capacity me

GAD65 autoantibodies (GAD65Ab) are highly prevalent in type 1 diabetes, but their functional role in the pathogenesis of the disease and their relationship to T-cell reactivity to GAD65 is still unclear. We tested the hypothesis that GAD65Ab modulate presentation of GAD65 to T-cells. T-cell hybridoma T33.1, which recognizes the GAD65 274-286 epitope in the context of HLA-DRB1*0401, was incubated w

Supersonic combustion is a critical area of research for advancing high-speed flight technologies, particularly for the development of scramjet engines for hypersonic vehicles. This study employs Finite Rate Chemistry (FRC) Large Eddy Simulation (LES) together with different experimental techniques to study the supersonic flow and thermochemical processes in the Small Scale Flight Experiment (SSFE

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiological agent of gonorrhea, the second most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Reproductive sequelae of gonorrhea include infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain. Most antibiotics currently in clinical use have been rendered ineffective due to the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance among gonococci. The developmental pipe

Ny forskning bidrar till ökad förståelse av allergiska reaktioner Allergi har ökat dramatiskt under de senaste åren. Det är därför högst väsentligt att få ökad kunskap om hur beståndsdelarna i immunförsvaret hos allergiska personer samspelar. Förekomsten av allergi har kommit att öka dramatiskt under de senaste åren och har blivit ett betydande problem för folkhälsan. Allergi drabbar en så stor dThe prevalence of allergic disease is continuing to increase worldwide, and it has even become a major concern in public health. Allergic reactions are developed to otherwise harmless substances and may be both life-threatening as well as discomforting for patients in their daily life. Therefore, a more detailed knowledge about how antibodies interact with allergens and effector cells in allergic

Den argentinska konstnären Monica Girón gjorde en utställning som bestod av stickade dräkter åt utrotningshotade fågelarter i Patagonien. Utställningen utgör avstampet i antropologen Annika Capelán Köhlers avhandling där hon låter merinoull vara navet i en historia som spänner över allt från världshistoria till små

Palestinians in the occupied territories experience great despair and resignation. Social anthropologist Nina Gren's research in the area and contact with residents over 20 years has consistently revealed frustration and feelings of hopelessness. In her article 'Palestinian conflict: how despair can drive people to violence, even if it puts their lives in danger' in The Conversation, Nina Gren des
