The early transition of knowledge from highly specialised and sophisticated proteomics research to a diverse community in need of know-how is a challenge that requires backing from advanced research centres and groups, and a coordinating body for the dissemination of this knowledge. The European Proteomics Association (EuPA) Education Committee signified this as a priority area when the EuPA was f

Haemate P/Humate-P, the first plasma-derived von Willebrand factor (VWF)/factor VIII (FVIII)-containing concentrate that was pasteurized to reduce the risk of virus infection, was developed in the 1970s and approved for use in Germany in 1981. Today, Haemate P is marketed in over 35 countries worldwide for on-demand treatment and long-term prophylaxis in patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD)

The new challenge of the Gas Turbine industry is to develop new technologies for meeting electricity demand growth and reducing harmful emissions. Thus a better understanding of the combustion phenomenon and an improvement in simulation capabilities are needed. Large Eddy Simulation tools brought the hope of meeting these two conditions and enabling the design of safe and clean burners. In the pre

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tensider, eller amfifiler, är molekyler som består av en hydrofil (”vattenälskande”) och en hydrofob (”vattenskyende”) del. Denna dualistiska karaktär ger tensider speciella egenskaper av vilken den viktigaste är att den självaggregerar i en del lösningsmedel, som i de allra flesta tillämpningar är vatten. Självaggregeringen i vattenlösningar beror på att vattnet vill h

The multicanonical, or flat-histogram, method is a common technique to improve the sampling efficiency of molecular simulations. The idea is that free-energy barriers in a simulation can be removed by simulating from a distribution where all values of a reaction coordinate are equally likely, and subsequently reweight the obtained statistics to recover the Boltzmann distribution at the temperature

Assessment of impairment and function is essential in order to monitor joint status and evaluate therapeutic interventions in patients with haemophilia. The improvements in the treatment of haemophilia have required the development of more sensitive tools to detect the more minor dysfunctions that may now be apparent. This paper outlines some of the recent developments in this field. The Haemophil

Recombinant activated coagulation factor VII (rFVIIa) was developed for the treatment of patients with hemophilia who have developed inhibitors against the factor they are missing. Hemophilia is a serious bleeding disorder and patients with hemophilia develop repeated spontaneous CNS, joint and muscle bleeding. Any trauma, even mild events, may cause life-threatening bleeding, and without treatmen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Epigenetik handlar om hur avläsning av informationen i arvsmassan kan styras och nedärvas mellan cellgenerationer. Förmågan att kunna ändra genuttrycksmönster som svar på signaler från omgivningen och sedan bibehålla dessa genom efterföljande celldelningar ligger till grund för korrekt funktion av vävnaderna och organen som våra kroppar är uppbyggda av.
