α1-microglobulin (A1M) is a small protein present in vertebrates including humans. It has several physiologically relevant properties, including binding of heme and radicals as well as enzymatic reduction, that are used in the protection of cells and tissue. Research has revealed that A1M can ameliorate heme and ROS-induced injuries in cell cultures, organs, explants and animal models. Recently, i
As cardio metabolic disease manifestations tend to cluster in families there is a need to better understand the underlying mechanisms in order to further develop preventive strategies. In fact, genetic markers used in genetic risk scores, important as they are, will not be able alone to explain these family clusters. Therefore, the search goes on for the so called missing heritability to better ex
Transcription factor cooperation is essential for specifying the heterogeneous dendritic cell (DC) lineages that orchestrate adaptive immunity, yet how it drives subset diversification remains poorly understood. Here, we employed a sequential anchored screen of 70 transcription factors using direct cellular reprogramming to identify regulators that specify type 2 conventional DCs (cDC2s) and plasm
The incidence of cutaneous melanoma (CM) has risen sharply over the past 30 years, coinciding with the rapidly growing tattoo trend. In Sweden, 20% of the population is tattooed. Repeated reports of the presence of carcinogenic chemicals, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic amines and heavy metals in tattoo ink justifies the investigation of CM risk in relation to tattooing. We aimed to in
Background Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is a spirometry pattern of interest regarding incident airflow obstruction and higher mortality risk. We applied a proteomic approach to gain more insight into the biological mechanisms associated with PRISm. Methods From the population-based Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study (SCAPIS), participants in the Main (n=4835) and Pilot (n=1054)
Background: Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a life-threatening condition reported as often misdiagnosed. Advancements in CT availability and diagnostic algorithms, including high-sensitivity troponin and D-dimer for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and pulmonary embolism (PE), may reduce AAS misdiagnosis, but the impact remains unclear. This study evaluated the incidence, characteristics, and clinical
Nanoplastics are emerging environmental contaminants that increasingly threaten soil ecosystems, yet their effects on microbial behavior remain poorly understood. This is mainly due to the lack of experimental tools capable of directly observing microbial dynamics in situ under realistic soil-like conditions. Here, we present a proof-of-concept system that enables real-time, high-throughput monito
Catalytic active phases are often separated from inactive ones by their appearance/removal in heating/cooling experiments. Such experiments can reveal ignition, extinction, and often an associated hysteresis. The corresponding behavior and hysteresis under rapid gas composition changes in the milliseconds regime remain largely unexplored. However, such experiments can potentially be highly rewardi
A cell’s ability to sense and respond to the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis, and its disruption contributes to diseases such as fibrosis, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. Effective mechanical coupling between the plasma membrane, the underlying filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton, and integrin-based adhesion complex
Abstract Gathering information about the environment is crucial to living organisms as it makes up the foundation upon which decisions are made. In a diverse environment a huge amount of information sources arise. An individual can choose to follow other’s decision (social information use) or to gather its’ own information. Which sources are used and how well they are perceived vary between indi
Women in the humanities : scientific ideals during the second half of the 20th century This thesis examines scientific ideals of female humanists during the second half of the 20th century through the analytical concept scientific or scholarly persona. The aim with this thesis is to show how scientific ideals have been negotiated in the context of obituaries of female scholars active in the humani
In this study, soil cores (0–20 cm) were collected at 45 sites located within a 30-km radius zone around the Belarusian nuclear power plant (BelNPP) in 2019 before its commissioning. Activity of gamma-emitting radionuclides was measured in the samples using HPGe detectors. The study revealed low levels of 137Cs in the soil: the weighted average dry weight (d.w.) activity concentration (ACw) varied
Objectives: To investigate the relation between adherence to dietary recommendations, the quantified intake of the components of these recommendations, and the risk of developing giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods: Participants in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort who subsequently developed GCA were identified through register linkage and validated in a structured review. Four controls, matc
Abstract Vad skulle vi göra utan modersmålslärare? Forskningsbaserade reflektioner Christina Hedman Den här presentationen tar avstamp i en serie studier som jag medverkat i under 2013–2019, vilka åskådliggör olika aspekter av modersmålsundervisning såsom: · lärar- och undervisningsperspektiv (Ganuza & Hedman 2015, 2018a), · utveckling av litteracitet på modersmålet (somaliska) och på svenska (Gan
