Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a health burden that lacks specific and early diagnostic biomarkers. For their discovery, we sequenced urinary extracellular vesicle miRNAs in a type 1 diabetes cohort of males with and without DKD. The results were replicated by sequencing or qPCR in two independent cohorts and six published datasets, including type 1 and 2 diabetes, and both sexes. We also valida

Electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) with unique porous 3D network structure exhibit properties such as high porosity and surface area, fine-tuned surface functionality and uniform pore sizes. This makes them candidates for water/wastewater applications with excellent flow. This study focuses on the fabrication of polymeric and composite ENMs from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and nanoclay (NC) and th

Abstract: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) offers critical insights into tissue microstructure through the assessment of water molecule random displacements and plays a central role in the assessment of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. To successfully implement and use DWI in clinical practice, guidelines for acquisition, interpretation of image contrast and of artefacts should be followed,

N1-methyladenine (m1A), a modification of transcripts, regulates mRNA structure and translation efficiency. In a recent issue of Nature, Sun et al. reported that m1A in CAG repeat RNA contributes to CAG repeat expansion-induced neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila through enhancing the ability of endogenous TDP-43 to partition into stress granules mediated by m1A. The study i

During 2024, an intensive 114CO2 flask sampling campaign was conducted at 12 sampling stations across Europe as part of the CO2MVS Research on Supplementary Observations (CORSO) project. These 114CO2 samples, combined with CO2 atmospheric measurements, are intended to enhance the estimation of fossil CO2 emissions over Europe through inverse modeling. In this study, we perform a series of Observin

An inclusive search for anomalous production of two prompt, isolated leptons with the same electric charge is presented. The search is performed in a data sample corresponding to 4.7 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected in 2011 at root s = 7TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Pairs of leptons (e(+/-)e(+/-), e(+/-)mu(+/-), and mu(+/-)mu(+/-)) with large transverse momentum are selected, an

To explore mechanisms of B-incorporation in common chain silicates we have investigated synthetic diopside samples produced under boron-saturated conditions by B-11 and Si-29 magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR and single-crystal NRA, FTIR, EMP and XRD/SREF techniques. Our samples contain 0.14-0.65 wt.% B2O3. NMR reveals that B is predominantly present in trigonal coordination in the clinopyroxene stru

In an accompanying paper (Am. J. Epidemiol. 2002;155:1066-73), the authors describe the design of a large multicenter study being carried out in three West African countries for investigation of the roles of environmental and host-related factors in the development of tuberculosis. In this paper, the authors review some evidence that host genetic factors play a role in susceptibility to tuberculos

En historisk studie kring porträtteringen av döden i fyra amerikanska filmer. Filmerna är producerade mellan 1979 och 2006 och tillhör två olika genrer.

The ability to design and tailor-make antibodies to meet the biophysical demands required by the vast range of current and future antibody-based applications within biotechnology and biomedicine will be essential. In this proof-of-concept study, we have for the first time tailored human recombinant scFv antibodies for site-specific photocoupling through the use of an unnatural amino acid (UAA) and

We report a search for first generation scalar leptoquarks using 1.03 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions data produced by the Large Hadron Collider at root s = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS experiment. Leptoquarks are sought via their decay into an electron or neutrino and a quark, producing events with two oppositely charged electrons and at least two jets, or events with an electron, missing t

Small arteries are known to develop functional and structural alterations in hypertension. However, the mechanisms of this remodeling are not fully understood. We hypothesized that altered gene expression is associated with the development of hypertension in mesenteric arteries of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Three sublines of SHR and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were studied at

Aim: This thesis serves two purposes. First, it informs specialists in global public health to consider a broader spectrum of pediatric disease. Second, it informs specialists in pediatric hospital care of how the feasibility of their clinical practice depends on a functioning health care system. Methods: The papers contextualize pediatric disease entities that so far have received relatively sp

Postoperative adhesions constitute a substantial clinical problem in hand surgery. Fexor tendon injury and repair result in adhesion formation around the tendon, which restricts the gliding function of the tendon, leading to decreased digit mobility and impaired hand recovery. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the peptide PXL01 in preventing adhesions, and correspondingly improving h

Over-the-air multi-probe setups provide an efficient way to characterize the performance of today’s advanced wireless communication systems. In this paper the measurement uncertainty of such a setup using a car as a test object is characterized through three experiments: measurement system analysis, channel sounder measurements, and probe coupling measurements. Four issues were in focus for the an
