Rethinking the relation between the physical home environment and functional decline path
Så verkar vi för minskad köttkonsumtion
Forskare har ett särskilt ansvar i klimatfrågan, menar Emma Kritzberg vid Lunds universitet. Hon är en av dem som verkat för vegetariskt som standardval vid biologiska institutionen.

Transancestral mapping and genetic load in systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with marked gender and ethnic disparities. We report a large transancestral association study of SLE using Immunochip genotype data from 27,574 individuals of European (EA), African (AA) and Hispanic Amerindian (HA) ancestry. We identify 58 distinct non-HLA regions in EA, 9 in AA and 16 in HA (50% of these regions have multiple independe
Perceived and objective aspects of home and health: aging in place in Japan and Sweden
Contact activation products are new potential biomarkers to evaluate the risk of thrombotic events in systemic lupus erythematosus
Introduction: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have persistent platelet activation and an increased risk of thrombotic events, which cannot be accounted for by traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Factor (F)XII has a potentially important role in thrombus formation and is triggered by activated platelets. We therefore asked whether the contact system is involved in inflammation
Cold, poor and frail: a cross-sectional study with community dwelling older people in Japan
Degradation of neutrophil extracellular traps co-varies with disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
Introduction: The ability to degrade neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is reduced in a subset of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). NETs consist of chromatin covered with antimicrobial enzymes and are normally degraded by DNase-I, an enzyme which is known to have reduced activity in SLE. Decreased ability to degrade NETs is associated with disease activity. In the current study
Sexual differentiation and development
Normal sexual differentiation requires complex molecular events to take place in a precise order, and even though much knowledge has been gained in recent decades, further research is still needed to understand the pathogenesis of different disorders of sexual differentiation. For the clinician who is confronted with a child with sexual ambiguity, it is most important not to guess the sex but to i

A novel mutation (N233K) in the transactivating domain and the N756S mutation in the ligand binding domain of the androgen receptor gene are associated with male infertility
OBJECTIVE: Resistance to androgens has been suggested as a possible cause of male infertility. This hypothesis is based mainly on binding studies in genital skin fibroblasts but the molecular evidence is sparse. DESIGN: Molecular studies of the androgen receptor gene were performed in 10 azoo- or oligozoospermic men, precenting with clinical signs of low androgen activity - poor virilization and h

Preserved male fertility despite decreased androgen sensitivity caused by a mutation in the ligand-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene are considered as incompatible with preservation of fertility and have been suggested as a cause of male infertility. Two adult brothers, referred because of gynecomastia and hormonal levels in serum indicating androgen insensitivity (high sex hormone-binding globulin, and LH levels, despite extremely high testosterone concentration), turned out to be relati

Response to treatment in patients with partial androgen insensitivity due to mutations in the DNA-binding domain of the androgen receptor
The androgen insensitivity syndrome is a disorder caused by deficient function of the androgen receptor, characterized by varying degrees of undermasculinization in karyotypic males. We have identified four mutations in the androgen receptor gene, in the region encoding the DNA-binding domain of the protein. Two mutations, R607X and R615G, were found in patients with complete insensitivity to andr
No association between the androgen receptor gene CAG repeat and impaired sperm production in Swedish men [1]
Functional characterisation of mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome
Five mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene were identified in patients with complete (A765T, C784Y, R831X and M895T) or partial (R830G) androgen insensitivity, A765T and R831X have been reported previously whereas the other three mutations are novel. Receptors carrying these mutations were transiently expressed in COS-1 cells, and androgen binding and capacity to tra

The N680S variant in the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor gene identifies hyperresponders to controlled ovarian stimulation
OBJECTIVE: To study if the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) variant asparagine/serine in amino acid 680 (N680S) can predict hypersensitivity to gonadotropins in women undergoing assisted reproduction.PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, 586 women undergoing their first in-vitro fertilisation treatment were enroled, and their FSHR N680S genetic variant was analysed. The ma
