A common mammalian defense mechanism employed to prevent systemic dissemination of invasive bacteria involves occlusion of local microvasculature and encapsulation of bacteria within fibrin networks. Acquisition of plasmin activity at the bacterial cell surface circumvents this defense mechanism, allowing invasive disease initiation. To facilitate this process, S. pyogenes secretes streptokinase,
Ischemic stroke causes transient increase of neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC) proliferation in the subventricular zone (SVZ), and migration of newly formed neuroblasts toward the damaged area where they mature to striatal neurons. The molecular mechanisms regulating this plastic response, probably involved in structural reorganization and functional recovery, are poorly understood. The adapt
Popular Abstract in Swedish En av de viktigaste frågeställningarna inom molekylär genetik är hur uttrycket av människans ca 30-40 000 gener regleras i tid och rum. En typ av reglering som är väldigt viktig är transkriptionell reglering och denna utövas av proteiner som kallas transkriptionsfaktorer. Dessa binder till specifika områden i DNA strängarna i närheten av genkodande regioner och kan däriNeuroblastoma is a childhood tumor derived from primordial neural crest cells. The tumor cells exhibit a phenotype similar to that of developing neuroblasts, which indicates that the tumor arises due to perturbed differentiation of the sympathetic nervous system. It is well established that transcription factors control the steps leading to neuronal differentiation, and a number of basic helix-loo
Abstract: Gender inequality is to some extent depending on subconscious gender bias, that is, automatic associations that might mis-favour women in academia. The extent to which gender bias in relation to career choices is present in the population has been investigated during many years in an American-based web project but have not yet been investigated among teachers at LTH. In this study, we le
PURPOSE: There is uncertainty whether ER-low tumors with a 1-10% immunohistochemical staining of nuclei represent a distinct molecular biological entity of BC, posing significant challenges for their clinical management and developing novel therapies. We aimed to elucidate ER-low tumor biology.EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We analyzed primary tumors included in a Swedish population-based SCAN-B BC cohort,
OBJECTIVE: Traditional rejection surveillance after heart transplantation (HTx) is based on endomyocardial biopsies (EMB), which are invasive, expensive and associated with complications. Monitoring using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is promising, but most studies report only on the donor fraction (DF) as the percentage of donor derived-cfDNA (dd-cfDNA) relative to total-cfDNA. We evaluated the performan
Thirty years on, gender mainstreaming is still a dominant strategy for working with gender equality, even though its effectiveness is debated. This is also the case in Sweden. This study focuses on how organizations in public administration, particularly municipalities and regions, are introduced to and approach gender mainstreaming. It aims to contribute with in-depth knowledge of how organizatio
Sex trafficking of women is an increasing phenomenon that affects mostly black women in Brazil. Governmental attempts to confront the crime have been made, however, the number of victims in the country continues to grow. The aim of this thesis is to examine the processes that impede the effectiveness of the policy and legislation in place which are made to protect the victims and counter the crime
This master’s thesis relates to the design of prefabricated balconies. Such balconies are often designed in different ways. A separate investigation of what is technically possible regarding, among other things, supports and balcony sizes must often be performed in every project involving balconies. Three kinds of solutions are presented. These are tie rod, cantilever and column supported balconie
Lantbruket rankas konsekvent som en av de mest riskfyllda sektorerna i Sverige såväl som i många andra delar av världen. Förutom lidande för den enskilde beräknas dödliga och icke dödliga skador i svenskt lantbruk kosta samhället 2 – 3 miljarder kr per år. I Sverige inträffade det cirka 5 000 olyckor på jordbruksföretag 2004. Detta innebar att minst en olycka inträffade på 8% av svenska gårdar som
The concept of the Viking has existed since the 7th C, while the term ‘Viking Age’ was coined in the early 19th C. The Vikings and their era represent a shared vision of a glorious past, originating from the of Romantic ear and associated with Scandinavism. Within this shared concept, the Nordic countries have been able to project their own versions of identity: in Denmark, the king or farmer; in
This essay is an overview about research in EE, Expressed Emotion, during the years of 1972 – 2008. This concept comes from research on schizophrenia where it became apparent that in families having high EE, as exemplified by hostility, criticism and overinvolvment, the patient had a larger risk of recurrence. To evaluate EE most often the Camberwell Family Interview is used. The concept of EE has
The military and defense industry is a historically stigmatized industry, but many argue that public opinion has changed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Organizational stigma, the widespread negative perception of firms due to their activities or the industries they operate in, affects a firm's relationships with external partners. While previous research has discussed its influence on bra

SWEAH-doktorander på IAGG-konferens i San Francisco 23-27 juli Under några dagar i juli samlades 6000 forskare i San Francisco från mer än 75 länder vid en tvärprofessionell konferens om gerontologi och geriatrik. Konferensen anordnas vart fjärde år av International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG). Årets konferenstema var - Global Aging and Health: Bridging Science, Policy, and Pr
