Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are responsible for transporting hexose molecules across cellular membranes. In adipocytes, insulin stimulates glucose uptake by redistributing GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. In unstimulated adipose-like mouse cell lines, GLUT4 is known to be retained intracellularly by binding to TUG protein, while upon insulin stimulation, GLUT4 dissociates from TUG. Here, we report t
Background: 4-1BB (CD137) is a co-stimulatory receptor highly expressed on tumor reactive effector T cells and NK cells, which upon stimulation prolongs persistence of tumor reactive effector T and NK cells within the tumor and induces long-lived memory T cells. 4-1BB agonistic antibodies have been shown to induce strong anti-tumor effects that synergize with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The firs
Due to the small characteristic molecular size of hydrogen, small leaks are more common in hydrogen systems compared to similar systems with hydrocarbons. This, together with the high reactivity, makes an efficient ventilation system very important in hydrogen applications. There are several models available for ventilation sizing that are based on either a well-mixed assumption or a fully stratif
This paper estimates labor supply effects for informal caregivers in Sweden using four waves of the SHARE data panel. To give daily or weekly care to a parent, step parent or parent in law is found to be more common among women than among men and is associated with lower employment probability for daily caregivers although the causal direction of the relationship is unclear. No negative effect of
Purpose: The accuracy of analytical dose calculations (ADC) and dose uncertainties resulting from anatomical changes are both limiting factors in proton therapy. For the latter, rapid plan adaption is necessary; for the former, Monte Carlo (MC) approaches are increasingly recommended. These, however, are inherently slower than analytical approaches, potentially limiting the ability to rapidly adap
Hu11B6 is a monoclonal antibody that internalizes in cells expressing androgen receptor (AR)-regulated prostate-specific enzyme human kallikrein-related peptidase 2 (hK2; KLK2). In multiple rodent models, Actinium-225-labeled hu11B6-IgG1 ([225Ac]hu11B6-IgG1) has shown promising treatment efficacy. In the present study, we investigated options to enhance and optimize [225Ac]hu11B6 treatment. First,
Failing to communicate current knowledge limitations, that is, epistemic uncertainty, in environmental risk assessment (ERA) may have severe consequences for decision making. Bayesian networks (BNs) have gained popularity in ERA, primarily because they can combine variables from different models and integrate data and expert judgment. This paper highlights potential gaps in the treatment of uncert
Today, we live in an age that is continually witnessing tension, strife and terrorism as a direct product of unequal distribution of wealth and opportunities for a good life. In Uganda for over two and half decades, war, insurgency and deprivation have been the realities of the people living in Northern Uganda. This evidently has lead to an imbalance in the Ugandan society with the North standing
The proprietor of a copyright protected work has an economical right to make the work available to the public. The most significant form of making a work available in today’s information society is the right of communicating the work to the public. This is specifically regulated in article 3.1 in the Infosoc Directive and was implemented in 2 § URL in 2005. Especially this regulation pertains to t
Background: There are known associations between cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related plasma proteins and spirometry measures. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) measures gas exchange that can be impaired both by lung and heart diseases. We aimed to study the associations between DLCO and CVD-linked plasma proteins in a population-based cohort without airflow obstruction. Methods: 89 CV
OBJECTIVE: Emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is linked to crowding and patient outcomes whereas worse prognosis in low socioeconomic status remains poorly understood. We studied whether income was associated with ED process times among patients with chest pain.METHODS: This was a registry-based cohort study on 124,980 patients arriving at 14 Swedish EDs between 2015 and 2019 with chest p
A Palaeolithic diet is an efficacious dietary approach for glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes. Causal mechanisms are body weight loss and glucometabolic effects from differences in included food groups, macronutrient composition, fibre content, and glycaemic load. The aim was to test the hypothesis that characteristic food group differences between a Palaeolithic and a diabetes diet would cause
The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on COVID-19 severity is unclear. In this population-based, nationwide study using multi-register data, we aimed to assess if OSA is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity and how adherence to PAP treatment and clinical characteristics affect the risk. Swedish residents with COVID-19 infection January 2020–May 202
Internship positions 2017–2018 General information: IASP, located at the Technology Park of Andalusia (Spain), offers two 11 month internships from 3rd July 2017 to 31st May 2018, within the Communication & Events and Projects & Services working areas respectively. This document contains all the relevant information and conditions related to this internship programme. IASP is an international non-

This paper aims to discuss peace and its understanding with regards to peace education in Swedish curriculums. The purpose of the paper is to focus on education and peace since peace can be so many different things and different understandings of peace can result in conflict since people are referring to different things. Peace education is important to research since it provides worldviews and kn
