Bispecifika antikroppar bygger broar mellan immunförsvaret och cancerceller – potentiell ny cancerbehandlingsform Prekliniska försök av en ny bispecifik antikropp aktiverar en av immunförsvarets nyckelspelare mot cancerceller från matstrups- och magsäckscancer. Kroppen är utrustad med sitt eget superförsvar, immunsystemet, som varje dag röjer undan olika hot i vår kropp. Det är ett välutvecklaImmune check inhibitors (ICI) are promising tools in the fight against cancer, increasing the effect of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL). However, their efficacy can be limited in tumors with poor CTL infiltration or priming, and strategies enhancing this is of great interest. Dual targeting of CD40 on APCs, and a tumor associated antigen (TAA), is one possible approach, promoting tumor-specific CTL

This thesis explores the architectural potential of compressed wool as a natural material capable of forming complex structures. From the beginning, the project combined two main directions: first, the exploration of natural, growth-based patterns such as differential growth and hyperbolic surfaces, and second, the investigation of material behavior through direct experimentation. These two paths

Oat grains contain high levels of phytic acid, an anti-nutritional compound that reduces nutrient bioavailability, along with notably low phytase activity, the enzymatic mechanism responsible for phytic acid degradation. Malting of oats prior to human consumption is a recognized method to reduce phytic acid content by inducing phytase expression, thereby enhancing the nutritional value of oats. Th

En av de viktigaste molekylerna för levande organismer är vatten, och det är ingen slump att det är just vatten som efterlyses när astronomer letar efter planeter som kan innehålla liv. En sådan viktig molekyl måste kunna transporteras in och ut ur våra celler på ett pålitligt sätt. Detta görs av proteiner som fungerar som kanaler för vatten i våra cellmembran: så kallade aquaporiner. Det finns måAquaporin 2 (AQP2) is a membrane channel protein that is in humans most importantly found at the end of the renal collecting duct. A lack of AQP2 in the apical membrane can lead to diabetes insipidus (DI), characterized by dehydration and dilute urine, making protein-protein interactions between AQP2 and other proteins an important field of study. In this study, the interaction between an AQP2 con
