BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but more mechanistic studies are needed. Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) can elicit a strong response in many COPD-related cell types, but no studies have been performed in lung fibroblasts. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of CSE on gene expression in lung fibroblasts from hea

The objectives of this study were to explore active aging among people listed with an interest in relocation, and the relationships between active aging and aspects of perceived home. Using cross-sectional data from the 2022 RELOC-AGE project ( N = 1,509, mean age = 70 years), linear regression analysis was conducted. Women and individuals with higher self-rated health and education reported highe

Single cell sequencing technologies (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, etc.) have revolutionized the study of complex tissues and unique organisms, providing researchers with a much needed species agnostic tool to study biological processes at the cellular level. To date, scRNA-seq technologies are expensive, require sufficient cell quantities, and need biological replicates to avoid batch effects or artifac

Proper arterial versus venous endothelial lineage identity is required to establish a hierarchical network of arteries and veins and prevent the occurrence of life-threatening arteriovenous malformations. The molecular mechanisms that govern arteriovenous lineage specification remain however incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that the transcription factor Prdm16 is expressed in arterial

The Iberian ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl) constitutes a central model for probing the basis of vertebrate regeneration. Here, we present the sequencing and chromosome-scale assembly of the 20.3Gb P. waltl genome, which exhibits the highest level of contiguity and completeness among giant genome assemblies. We uncover that DNA transposable elements are the major contributors to its expansion, wit

INTRODUCTIONThis study examines medication reviews (MRs) among people living with dementia (PWD) in Sweden, focusing on frequency and factors influencing access.METHODSUsing nationwide register data, all diagnosed PWD from 2010 to 2016 were assessed for MR receipt in 2015 and/or 2016. The analysis guided by the Andersen healthcare utilization framework, considered predisposing, enabling, and need-

Background: Glioblastoma, IDH wildtype is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite best available treatment, prognosis remains poor. Current standard therapy consists of surgical tumor removal followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy with the alkylating agent temozolomide. Antisecretory factor (AF), an endogenous protein, may potentiate the effect of temozolomide and allev

This study presents the first direct measurement of aluminum monohydride (AlH) distribution and dynamics during aluminum combustion. Single micron-sized aluminum droplets were burned in a controlled H₂O/N₂/O₂ environment to ensure repeatable conditions. A dual-wavelength laser absorption imaging system is used to quantify the AlH concentration with high temporal and spatial resolution. The results

Acoustic forces occurring in resonant microfluidic chambers allow the handling of micrometer-sized particles. Trapping of nanoparticles has been shown for high particle concentrations and after preseeding the chamber with larger particles. We show that the trapping mechanism is due to synergy between hydrodynamic shielding and acoustic forces. Acoustic interactions are significant only when seed p

Elevated levels of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been reported in primary graft dysfunction, making methods to reduce or remove them highly valuable. The mechanisms behind primary graft dysfunction remain rudimentarily understood but its relation to higher rates of acute and chronic rejection necessitates the development of preventative treatments. This case series explores the use of

Strupfladder och flämtandning är några av tricken som fåglar tar till för att överleva höga temperaturer. I en allt varmare framtid kanske det inte räcker, skriver fågelforskarna Andreas Nord och Susan J. Cunningham.

The physicochemical properties of two root suspensions, parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), were studied and compared at different concentrations and after being subjected to processes such as homogenization and heating. The study and the evaluation of the physicochemical properties of these plant materials in the form of pastes might help to increase the interest in t

This study indicates valuable contributions of narrative criticism and rhetorical criticism. Together with the traditional historical-critical approach, these methods can help us toward an interpretation that lets us better understand the purpose and the function of the gospel-story. One purpose is for it to function as an argument in favour of the standpoint that Jesus is the Son of God, the Mess
