Until about 1930, typ had, however, only a nominal function, and the other uses of typ have accordingly developed successively during the 20th century. In this article, which is based on a paper by Skärlund (2010), we track the grammaticalization of typ by utilizing electronic corpora, mainly comprising Swedish newspaper texts

The complement system can be specifically targeted to tumor cells due to molecular changes on their surfaces that are recognized by complement directly or via naturally occurring antibodies. However, tumor cells often overexpress membrane-bound complement inhibitors protecting them from complement attack. We have previously shown that non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, additionally to membr

This research paper analyses and assesses the impacts of the Israeli imposed physical obstructions on the mobility of the Palestinians in the West Bank, using a case study focused on the Bethlehem – Ramallah route. Arguably, the prevailing Israeli imposed physical obstructions, or mobility restrictions, in the West Bank territory have negative implications on the articulation of sustainable Palest
