Cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) is expressed in pancreatic islet cells and neuronal elements. We have previously established insulinotropic actions of CART in human and rodent islets. The receptor for CART in the pancreatic beta cells is unidentified. We used RNA sequencing of Cartpt knockdown (KD) INS-1 832/13 cells and identified GPR162 as the most Cartpt-regulated receptor.

BACKGROUND: Very preterm infants often require respiratory support and are therefore exposed to an increased risk of chronic lung disease and later neurodevelopmental disability. Although methylxanthines are widely used to prevent and treat apnea associated with prematurity and to facilitate extubation, there is uncertainty about the benefits and harms of different types of methylxanthines.OBJECTI

Actual evapotranspiration (ETa) plays a crucial role in the water and energy cycles of the earth. An accurate estimate of the ETa is essential for management of the water resources, agriculture, and irrigation, as well as research on atmospheric variations. Despite the importance of accurate ETa values, estimating and mapping them remains challenging due to the physical and biological complexity o

Commencing from the question “what makes mysticism feminine?” (a medical-historical conception of female bodies being receptive to some forms of mystical experiences? following an idea of gendered embodiment, a specific feminine spiritual corporeality?), the presence of forms of violence preceding the beatification or sanctification of women as victim souls caught my attention.Examples like Laura

Studien är en första utvärdering i Sverige av X-bandsteknik som väderradar. Den visar hur flera X-bandsradaranläggningar kan samarbeta och hur regninformationen kan användas för avrinningssimulering. Tekniken öppnar nya utvecklingsmöjligheter för VA-branschen. Det gäller inte minst driften av ledningsnätet, väderstyrning av ledningsnät och reningsverk, samt utvecklingen av publika varningssystem.In this research report, a new methodology has been developed in order to integrate several X-band radar data sets in to one complete set. Furthermore, a direct and an indirect evaluation have been conducted compared to stationary rain gauges and C-band radar. In the indirect analysis, the input data sets were integrated into runoff models for Ellinge and Lundåkra WWTP where the results were compa

Eleven species of lichenicolous fungi associated with Xanthoria calcicola s.lat. are found in southernmost Scandinavia, i.e., Skåne, the southernmost province in Sweden and southern Denmark. Two species, Didymocyrtis slaptoensis and Pyrenochaeta xanthoriae, are reported as new for the Nordic countries, whereas three species, Didymocyrtis cf. consimilis, Erythricium aurantiacum, and Illosporiopsis

Uppenbarelseboken avtäcker med sina fasansfulla syner – sin Apokalyps – vad som ska ske på den yttersta dagen, då allt ont ska förgås och ett nytt rike ska upprättas. Men numera menas ofta med apokalyps enbart den skräckfyllda, mytologiska spådomen om en framtida katastrof. Kan man istället förstå Uppenbarelsebokens syner som en varning, för den katastrof vi själva är med om att skapa här och nu,
