Förändringar i cellens arvsmassa (DNA) drabbar tre huvudtyper av gener; onkgener, tumörsuppressorgener och DNA-reparationsgener. Onkgener är en grupp gener som befrämjar cellens tillväxt. Vid cancerutveckling aktiveras onkgener via mutation eller genom ökat uttryck, vilket ledInactivation of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is a tumorigenic mechanism involved in 15-20% of tumor types such as colorectal and endometrial cancer and is specifically associated with the Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. These MMR defective tumors are characterized by microsatellite instability (MSI), a phenomenon that reflects alterations in length of repeated s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Byggbranschen står inför stora utmaningar i att möta behovet av nya bostäder samtidigt som renoveringsbehovet av flerbostadshus är stort. Man beskylls ofta för bristande kvalitet och höga kostnader. Industriellt byggande har framförts som en lösning till problemen. I ett projekt på Lunds Universitet har två tillämpningar för industriellt byggande studerats: trähusbygganIndustrialized construction has over the years taken different expressions and gone through different phases depending on where inspiration has come from. In this project, industrialized construction has been studied in two applications: timber house manufacturing and renovation of multi-family houses. In Sweden industrialized production of timber houses is relatively strong in the housing sector

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi använder allt mer energi och efterfrågan kommer bara öka, fram till 2050 spås en fördubbling av världens efterfrågan av energi. Drygt 85 procent av den energi som produceras i dag kommer från fossila bränslen som bidrar till växthuseffekten. En ny rapport från FN:s klimatpanel, IPCC, visar att koldioxid står för runt 76 procent av det totala utsläppet av växthusgasAccelerating actions to mitigate CO2 emissions was one of the important messages at the UN Climate Summit 2014. About 85 % of the world’s energy is provided through the burning of fossil fuels, which is the main source of CO2 emissions. Increasing the share of renewable energy, and making energy efficiency improvements and savings were actions that were agreed upon to meet CO2 emission reductions.
