This paper illustrates some biochemical and pharmacological properties of two natural marine products such as trabectedin (ET-743, Yondelis) and aplidine. Trabectedin has shown clinical antitumor activity in refractory soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian cancer. The lack of cross resistance of trabectedin with other chemotherapeutic drugs is presumably related to its peculiar mode of action, that seem
In the near future, the number of connected mobile devices and data-rates are expected to dramatically increase. Demands exceed the capability of the currently deployed (4G) wireless communication systems. Development of 5G systems is aiming for higher data-rates, better coverage, backward compatibility, and conforming with “green communication” to lower energy consumption. Massive Multiple-Input
Remains of a basilican round church were discovered in 1877–78 in Tønsberg, Norway, and identified as the Premonstratensian monastery church of Saint Olav. The round church has been interpreted as fortified with several floors using Nylars on Bornholm in Denmark as a model – or as symbolic copy of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, although Templar churches have also been mentioned as models. The church
In the presented paper experimental and numerical analyses are made of the failure due to blister formation in moist packaging material when exposed to excessive heating. The basic concept of the experimental analysis is to expose a package material to a hot air jet and measure the time until the material experience internal failure. For the numerical analysis, a triphasic macroscale hybrid mixtur
A growing set of policies involve transfers conditioned upon socially desired actions, such as attending school or conserving forest. However, given a desire to maximize the impact of limited funds by avoiding transfers that do not change behavior, typically some potential recipients are excluded on the basis of their characteristics, their actions or at random. This paper uses a laboratory experi
Råttan är en däggdjursart med en kort dräktighetstiden och föds därför mycket omogen. Den är vid födelsen naken, blind och döv och är helt beroende av sin moder för många funktioner, såsom näringstillförsel, termoreglering, urinering och tarmtömning. Under diperioden är råttans mag-tarmsystem och matsmältning helt anpassad till modersmjölkdieten. Bland annat är tarmens barriärfunktion omogen, vilkThe rat, as an altritial species, is born with an immature gastrointestinal tract and intestinal barrier function, which is highly absorptive to milk-borne bioactive molecules that can pass undigested and reach the general circulation of the suckling newborn. This passage occurs by the neonatal-Fc-receptor (FcRn) binding and trancytosis of immunoglobulin G in the proximal small intestine (SI) and
Populärhistorisk översikt över relationerna mellan Lunds universitet och svenska monarker (och en kronprins) vid namn Carl från Carl X Gustaf till Carl XVI Gustaf.
BACKGROUND: We sought to identify potential clinical variables associated with outcomes after radium-223 therapy in routine practice. METHODS: Consecutive non-trial mCRPC patients who received ≥1 dose of radium dichloride-223 at four academic and one community urology-specific cancer centers from May 2013 to June 2014 were retrospectively identified. Association of baseline and on-therapy clinical
Varje cell har ett membran som skapar en gräns mot omvärlden och skyddarcellen. Men cellen måste alltjämt utbyta viktiga molekyler med omvärlden för attöverleva. Därför finns specialiserade proteiner, som sitter i membranen och utgörportar i denna barriär. Denna avhandling fokuserar på två membranproteiner, enprotonpump och en jonkanal.Varje dag i våra liv använder vi hjärnan, muskler och hjärtat.NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) is the first enzyme of the respiratory chain and is involved in energy conservation generating an electro-chemical gradient across a membrane. The enzyme can be divided into a membrane spanning domain and a hydrophilic domain, which protrudes from the membrane. In the hydrophilic domain electrons from NADH oxidation are transported via a wire of iron-sulfur
Over the past decade, the advances in grating-based soft X-ray spectrometers have revolutionizedthe soft X-ray spectroscopies in materials research. However, these novel spectrometers are mostlydedicated designs, which cannot be easily adopted for applications with diverging demands. Here wepresent a versatile spectrometer design concept based on the Hettrick-Underwood optical scheme thatuses modu
Det finns i Sverige en allt tydligare politisk vilja att katalysera digitalisering- en av offentlig sektor, inklusive det kommunala sociala arbetet. Samtidigt pågår också en omfattande digitalisering av det svenska samhället överlag som det kommunala sociala arbetet har att hantera både på organisations-, handläggar- såväl som brukarnivå. Men hur ser det forskningsbaserade kunskapsläget ut?Vi redo
Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with approximately 700 common associated variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor-allele frequencies (in the range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 centimetres per allele (such as those in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), greater than ten times the a
Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and often conflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for the inclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) in decision making, as well as broad methodological steps for doing so. While developed within the context of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), this approach is more widel
