Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases

Bristande delaktighet, information och respekt: en explorativ studie om patienters upplevda autonomi inom vuxenpsykiatrin

Autonomins roll i vården är svårbegriplig och varken patient eller vårdgivare har en tydlig uppfattning av begreppet. Detta resulterar i att patienters rättigheter regelbundet överträds vilket förhindrar tillfrisknandet och riskerar att vidare skada patienter. Syftet med denna explorativa studie var att undersöka och analysera anmälares (patienter och anhöriga) upplevelser av kränkningar inom den The role of autonomy in healthcare is unclear, and neither patients nor healthcare providers have a clear understanding of the concept. This results inpatients' rights being violated regularly, which hinders recovery and risks further harming patients. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate and analyze the reporters’ (patients and relatives) experiences of violations within t
