Proteolytic activation of the human epithelial sodium channel by trypsin IV and trypsin I involves distinct cleavage sites

Proteolytic activation is a unique feature of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and the physiologically relevant proteases remain to be identified. The serine protease trypsin I can activate ENaC in vitro but is unlikely to be the physiologically relevant activating protease in ENaC-expressing tissues in vivo. Herein, we investigated whether human t

Grön infrastruktur för bevarande av biologisk mångfald

Det svenska arbetet med att skapa en grön infrastruktur syftar till att bevara biologisk mångfald, gynna ekosystemtjänster och stärka ekosystemens resiliens mot exempelvis klimatförändringar. Inom det strategiska forskningsområdet BECC (Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate) har vi undersökt de teoretiska förutsättningar och praktiska utmaningar som finns när det gäller att anv

Gravel and sand flotation: a sediment dispersal process important in certain nearshore environments

Small rafts of floating sediment, predominantly of granule and small pebble size, were observed along a tidewater coast on James Ross Island, Antarctica. The sediment was lifted from the beach by the advancing tidewater and kept afloat by surface tension. The current transported the rafts at least 100-150 m off the beach, where the rafts broke up due to wind agitation of the sea surface and the gr

Glacial history of interior Jameson Land, East Greenland

The plateaus between 400 and 800 m a.s.l. around the water-divides on central and eastern Janieson Land are covered by the ‘Jameson Land Drift’ up to 50 m thick glacial. placiotluvial and glaciolacustrine deposits. A high content of far-travelled wcsterii rocks indicates the overriding by extensive glaciers channelled from the west through the Scoresby Sund basin. The Jameson Land Drift deposits h

Late Weichselian environmental history in southeastern Sweden during the deglaciation of the Scandinavian ice sheet

Late Weichselian litho-, bio-, and chronostratigraphy (14C and varves) in southeastern Sweden provide a detailed picture of the deglaciation pattern and dynamics, shore displacement, late-glacial sedimentation, and history of the landscape, vegetation, and climate. Two plausible glacial models were tested against lithologic, chronologic, and climatic data. Permafrost at and outside the ice margin

Improving Coherence in a Cross-Border Public Transport System: Lessons from the Greater Copenhagen Region

Greater Copenhagen is often cited as a good example of cross-border cooperation. Shared historical contexts and socio-political willingness have meant that considerable resources have been invested into the development of infrastructure in this region. The Öresund fixed link constitutes the most important element of this infrastructure, facilitating a cross-border public transport system which tie

Status of the detector design studies for ESSνSB

The European Spallation Source Neutrino Super Beam (ESSνSB) project aims at a discovery of leptonic CP violation with a precise measurement of the CP phase angle. ESSνSB is characterized by an intense neutrino beam to be produced at ESS by a 5-MW proton beam, and the placement of the far detector at the second oscillation maximum. The aims of the near detector for ESSνSB are neutrino flux and inte

Aggregation behavior and peptide-lipid interaction in an amyloid model system

Proteins constitute a major component of living cells and are essential to their function. Sometimes proteins misfold or aggregate in abnormal ways, which can give rise to diseases. Amyloids are a special type of highly ordered protein aggregates made of long intermolecular beta-sheets stacked into fibrils. Formation of amyloids is associated with many diseases, especially diseases related to neur
