We have used a rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD) to address issues of importance for a future clinical application of dopamine (DA) neuron grafting in patients with PD. Human mesencephalic DA neurons, obtained from 6.5-8 week old fetuses, were found to survive intracerebral cell suspension xenografting to the striatum of rats immunosuppressed with Cyclosporin A. The grafts produced an extensiv

Knowing and Seeing the Combatant investigates how does the US counterinsurgent forces make distinction between civilians and combatants during targeting practices? This dissertation is specifically focused on the visual dynamics of the contemporary targeting and as such argues that the insurgent's withdrawal from the obligation of visual self-identification as targets by not wearing military unifoKnowing and Seeing the Combatant investigates how does the US counterinsurgent forces make distinction between civilians and combatants during targeting practices?

Intressanta fynd från Blekinge av kärlväxter, mossor och lavar från framför allt 2015 rapporteras. Flertalet fynd finns inlagda i Artportalen.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a gas-phase thin film deposition technique based on repeated, self-terminating gas-solid reactions, has become the method of choice in semiconductor manufacturing and many other technological areas for depositing thin conformal inorganic material layers for various applications. ALD has been discovered and developed independently, at least twice, under different name

Fibrinogen can support host antimicrobial containment/clearance mechanisms, yet selected pathogens appear to benefit from host procoagulants to drive bacterial virulence. Here, we explored the hypothesis that host fibrin(ogen), on balance, supports Staphylococcus aureus infection in the context of septicemia. Survival studies following intravenous infection in control and fibrinogen-deficient mice

During adult neurogenesis, newly formed olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons migrate radially to integrate into specific layers of the OB Despite the importance of this process, the intracellular mechanisms that regulate radial migration remain poorly understood. Here, we find that microRNA (miRNA) let-7 regulates radial migration by modulating autophagy in new-born neurons. Using Argonaute2 immunopre

Hur kan juridiken användas för att motverka strukturell diskriminering. Det är en av de många frågor som ställs i "Att förstå lagstiftning om diskrimineirng och mänskliga rättigheter". Syftet med boken är att ge kunskap och verktyg för rörelse ock aktivitet. I sju kapitel tas frågor upp genom exempel som handlar om bland annat anställning, rätten till bostad, löner och åldersdiskrimineirng. Gränse
