Kampen för social rättvisa tar sig många former, alltifrån att ta saken till domstolen till protester på gatorna. I detta kapitel introducerar jag Luc Boltanskis och Laurent Thévenots teori om rättfärdigande och diskuterar hur den kan användas för att analysera sociala aktörers krav på rättigheter och rättvisa i rättssociologisk forskning. I slutet av kapitlet ger jag två exempel från min forsknin
Hjärntumörer utgör omkring 2 procent av alla cancerdiagnoser och den vanligaste elakartade hjärntumörtypen är glioblastom (GBM). Patienter med GBM behandlas i dag med kirurgi, cellgifter och strålbehandling, men sjukdomen går sällan att bota och det krävs nya och mer effektiva behandlingsstrategier.I min doktorsavhandling har jag använt tre olika musmodeller, kallade GL261, KR158 och SB28, för attAdvances in surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy have only modestly improved survival rates of malignant brain tumor patients during the last decades. Emerging evidence suggests that an efficient treatment of malignant brain tumors will likely require the management of multiple aspects of tumor pathobiology in order to manipulate features as tumor heterogeneity and tumor immunosuppression. Immunothera
Control of the crystallization process is central to developing nanomaterials with atomic precision to meet the demands of electronic and quantum technology applications. Semiconductor nanowires grown by the vapor-liquid-solid process are a promising material system in which the ability to form components with structure and composition not achievable in bulk is well-established. Here, we use in si
INTRODUCTION: Kaczyńska et al. reported a family with myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) caused by a truncating SGCE mutation, in which two members had epilepsy. Further, patients had mild psychiatric and developmental deficits. CLINICAL REFLECTIONS: Characteristic motor features of M-D include myoclonus, dystonia and tremor. A wide range of additional disease manifestations are known. A few patients with M
Phosphorylation is one of the most abundant types of post-translational modifications of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). This study examines the conformational changes in the 15-residue-long N-terminal fragment of the IDP statherin upon phosphorylation, using computer simulations with two different force fields: AMBER ff99SB-ILDN and CHARMM36m. The results from the simulations are compar
We present a scheme for transferring conformational degrees of freedom from all-atom (AA) simulations of an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) to coarse-grained (CG) Monte Carlo (MC) simulations using conformational swap moves. AA simulations of a single histatin 5 peptide in water were used to obtain a structural ensemble, which is reweighted in a CGMC simulation in the presence of a negative
In this paper, we describe the conversion of three different heart transplantation data sets to a Resource Description Framework (RDF) representation and how it can be utilized to train deep learning models. These models were used to predict the outcome of patients both pre- and post-transplant and to calculate their survival time. The International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (IS
ABTRACT: tRNA-derived fragments or tRFs were long considered merely degradation intermediates of full-length tRNAs; however, emerging research is highlighting unanticipated new and highly distinct functions in epigenetic control, metabolism, immune activity and stem cell fate commitment. Importantly, recent studies suggest that RNA epitranscriptomic modifications may provide an additional regulato
