Enhanced diffusion through multivalency

The diffusion of macromolecules, nanoparticles, viruses, and bacteria is essential for targeting hosts or cellular destinations. While these entities can bind to receptors and ligands on host surfaces, the impact of multiple binding sites—referred to as multivalency—on diffusion along strands or surfaces is poorly understood. Through numerical simulations, we have discovered a significant accelera

A two-phase epigenome-wide four-way gene–smoking interaction study of overall survival for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer

High-order interactions associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival may elucidate underlying molecular mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets. Our previous work has identified a three-way interaction among pack-year of smoking (the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day multiplied by the number of years the person has smoked) and two DNA methylation probes (cg0

Transcellular transport of 18F-deoxyglucose via facilitative glucose channels in experimental peritoneal dialysis

Background: Local and systemic side effects of glucose remain major limitations of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Glucose transport during PD is thought to occur via inter-endothelial pathways, but recent results show that phloretin, a general blocker of facilitative glucose channels (glucose transporters [GLUTs]), markedly reduced glucose diffusion capacity indicating that some glucose may be transfer

Impact of Varying Velocities and Solvation Boxes on Alchemical Free-Energy Simulations

Alchemical free-energy perturbation (FEP) is an accurate and thermodynamically stringent way to estimate relative energies for the binding of small ligands to biological macromolecules. It has repeatedly been pointed out that a single simulation normally stays near the starting point in phase space and therefore underestimates the uncertainty of the results. Therefore, it is better to run an ensem

Perceptions of eHealth and digitalization among professional anaesthesia personnel : A Swedish national study

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate anaesthesia care professionals' perceptions and attitudes regarding the implementation and advancement of digital solutions in perioperative care.METHODS: Anaesthesia personnel working in public Swedish institutions where anaesthesia is administered were invited to respond to an online survey regarding their attitudes towards digitalization i

Young Healthy Individuals With a First-Degree Relative With Type 1 Diabetes Displayed Adverse Lipid Changes

AimTimeline of atherosclerosis in children with type 1 diabetes is unknown. We aimed to investigate if familial risk of type 1 diabetes is associated with pro-atherosclerotic changes.MethodsYoung first-degree relatives to patients with paediatric type 1 diabetes and sex and age matching controls were enrolled at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden between 2006 and 2015. Conventional lipids, human le

Social mobility and fertility: Applying diagonal reference models in historical studies (Sweden, 1870–2015)

Theoretically there are good reasons to expect social mobility to have an effect on fertility. The problem is how to assess such an effect empirically, as social mobility is a function of both social origin and destination. This paper presents the Diagonal Reference Model (DRM) as a valuable historical method to study social mobility consequences. We use Swedish individual-level longitudinal data
