The release of toxic gases due to natural/industrial accidents or terrorist attacks in populated areas can have tragic consequences. To prevent and evaluate the effects of these disasters different approaches and modelling tools have been introduced in the literature. These instruments are valuable tools for risk managers doing risk assessment of threatened areas. Despite the significant improveme

The enzyme EndoS from Streptococcus pyogenes is an immunomodulatory molecule hydrolyzing the conserved glycans in the effector part of immunoglobulin G (IgG). EndoS is remarkably specific for IgG, and hydrolysis has profound effects on IgG effector functions. EndoS pretreatment of IgG, or direct administration to animals with experimental antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases, inhibits development

I denna artikel skisseras civilrättens - särskilt förmögenhetsrättens - framtid med utgångspunkt såväl i civilrätten sådan den ser ut idag som i de samhällsförändringar framförallt inom det ekonomiska livet, som man kan skönja. Den starkaste påverkansfaktorn är ekonomins globalisering. Den medför en helt dominerande påverkan av internationella strömningar på den svenska förmögenhetsrätten. Man mär

Background: Tamoxifen is used in endocrine treatment of breast cancer to inhibit estrogen signaling. A set of strati‐ ed ER‐positive and ER‐negative tumor sections was subjected to manual deposition of tamoxifen solution in order to investigate its spatial distribution upon exposure to interaction within thin tissue sections. Methods: The localization of tamoxifen in tumor sections was assessed by

G protein-coupled receptor (GPR)-39 is a seven-transmembrane receptor expressed mainly in endocrine and metabolic tissues that acts as a Zn++ sensor signaling mainly through the G(q) and G(12/13) pathways. The expression of GPR39 is regulated by hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1 alpha and HNF-4 alpha, and in the present study, we addressed the importance of GPR39 for glucose homeostasis and pancre

The interaction of self-propelled biological molecular-motors and cytoskeletal filaments holds relevance for a variety of applications such as biosensing, drug screening, diagnostics and biocomputation. The use of these systems for lab-on-a-chip biotechnology applications shows potential for replacement of microfluidic flow by active, molecular-motor driven transport of filaments. The ability to c

Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) based gene therapy offers the possibility of permanent correction for genetic disorders of the hematopoietic system. However, optimization of present protocols is required before gene therapy can be safely applied as general treatment of genetic diseases. In this study we have used a mouse model of type 1 Gaucher disease (GD) to demonstrate the feasibility of a low-ri
