A key step in lipolytic activation of adipocytes is the translocation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) from the cytosol to the surface of the lipid storage droplet. Adipocytes from perilipin-null animals have an elevated basal rate of lipolysis compared with adipocytes from Wild-type mice, but fail to respond maximally to lipolytic stimuli. This defect is downstream of the p-adrenergic receptor-a
BACKGROUND: migration and kinking of stent-grafts can occur late after endovascular aneurysm repair. It is unknown if endovascular grafts incorporate enough to be permanently anchored. In this report, healing of aortic stent-grafts was assessed in humans. PATIENTS AND METHODS: we retrieved 23 Dacron stent-grafts from patients treated for an aortic aneurysm since 1993. Twelve stent-grafts were expl
Objective: To examine whether smoking is a risk factor for rheumatoid nodules in early rheumatoid arthritis, and if so to determine the quantitative effect of smoking. Methods: From a cohort (n = 1589) in a structured programme for follow up of newly diagnosed cases of rheumatoid arthritis ( symptoms of swollen joints ( 12 months), 112 individuals with rheumatoid nodules at inclusion were identifi
Summary The bacterial endospore is a dormant and heat-resistant form of life. StoA (SpoIVH) in Bacillus subtilis is a membrane-bound thioredoxin-like protein involved in endospore cortex synthesis. It is proposed to reduce disulfide bonds in hitherto unknown proteins in the inter-membrane compartment of developing forespores. Starting with a bioinformatic analysis combined with mutant studies we i
Distraction is an emotion regulation strategy that has an ambiguous status within cognitive-behavior therapy. According to some treatment protocols it is counterproductive, whereas according to other protocols it is seen as a quite useful strategy. The main purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that distraction is adaptive when combined with active acceptance, but maladaptive whe
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to shed light on which role authenticity plays in mobile dating apps, an environment where users can present themselves only with a limited amount of information. By investigating how users create their profiles and evaluate others, the existing knowledge on authenticity and self-presentation can be advanced. Methodology: The research applied a relativist and
The kinin B1 receptor (B1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor with pro-inflammatory activity that is latent in healthy tissues but induced by tissue insult. Here, we investigated if B1R homo-oligomerization is a possible mechanism regulating the presentation of this receptor at the level of maturation and trafficking to the cell surface. To this end, we used HEK293 cells stably expressing N-terminal
We have previously shown that protein kinase Cepsilon (PKCepsilon) induces neurite outgrowth via its regulatory domain and independently of its kinase activity. This study aimed at identifying mechanisms regulating PKCepsilon-mediated neurite induction. We show an increased association of PKCepsilon to the cytoskeleton during neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, neurite induction by overexpressi
Previous studies have demonstrated that in admixed populations, West African ancestry is associated with an increased prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the current study, the effect of Amerindian ancestry in SLE was examined in an admixed population in Argentina. The Argentine population is predominantly European with approximately 20% Amerindian admixture, and a very small (<2%
Commercialization has been recognized as one of the most difficult phases of the innovation process. Failure rates are high, even for products with the potential to address real needs and deliver real customer value. This master's thesis explores commercialization in an even more challenging business context than the typical case. First, the innovating company is an early startup with limited
The purpose of this report is to map how HTA, Health Technology Assessment, is being used for MDD products for inpatient care in Sweden. Swedish Medtech, a professional association for medical technology companies, has a need to carry out a survey about the use of HTA in Sweden for their future work. They have a project which goal is to inform policy makers about the value of innovative medical pr

It is well understood that adding to the population increases CO2 emissions. At the same time, having children is a transformative experience, such that it might profoundly change adult (i.e., parents') preferences and consumption. How it might change is, however, unknown. Depending on if becoming a parent makes a person "greener" or "browner," parents may either balance or exacerbate the added CO
