Following vascular injury, basement membrane (BM) components of the blood vessels are exposed to circulating cells and may contribute to hemostasis and/or thrombosis. Laminins 8 (LN-8) (alpha4beta1gamma1) and 10 (LN-10) (alpha5beta1gamma1) are major laminin isoforms of the endothelial BM, and LN-8 is also secreted by activated platelets. In the present study, we demonstrate synthesis of alpha5-lam

The tooth pulp innervation originates from the trigeminal ganglion (TG) and represents an illustrative example of tissue targeting by sensory nerves. Pulpal fibroblasts strongly promote neurite outgrowth from TG neurons in vitro. In the present study, we have investigated the possible participation of laminins (LNs), potent neuritogenic extracellular matrix components. Immunohistochemistry of huma

The tooth pulp has a dense sensory innervation which, upon stimulation, conveys sensory signals perceived as pain. This innervation, which originates from the trigeminal ganglion, is established through a series of regulated steps during development, and represents an interesting example of tissue targeting by pain-specific nerves. We have investigated various potentially neurotrophic and neurorep

Sloth - one of the deadly sins in our life - is here connected to waste handling in historical, recent, and future times. The text is structured in three themes: how waste is hidden and forgotten; waste kept at distance; waste, technology, and shame. It ends with reflections on concepts such as the old deadly sins, rigid as they may be, is worth defending and if they still might speak to a modern Someone who throws away their rubbish on a street-corner or in a ditch is guilty of sloth. This may appear harmless, but seen through the lens of waste management, sloth soon develops into a deadly sin that harms other people’s lives and health. Hiding and forgetting waste has always been a practice with potentially disastrous consequences; buried containers full of toxins will eventually start to

Research Summary: This study explores how traditional craft produces novelty, which appears to be at odds with its emphasis on continuation. While prior research has explored how tradition is rediscovered and revived from the past, traditional craft can produce intrinsic novelty potentially through its own repetitive acts. This study examines a Japanese cuisine Kaiseki, which is traditional but si

The article aims to increase the understanding of how coworkers perform voice (i.e., do voicing) in internal meetings while embedding the phenomenon in wider organizational and social contexts. It answers the following research questions:1. How do coworkers perform voicing in team meetings at an international manufacturing company?2. How do coworkers experience voicing in meetings?The qualitative

In 2008, the Swedish legislature removed any references to race and racial difference,formalizing a post-racial discourse. This has resulted in both the near impossibility ofproving discrimination based on racialized difference, and a formal denial of racial discrimination as a social and structural problem. This article attempts to circumscribe these difficulties by suggesting an approach for tra

The field of biological psychiatry faces a growing influx of digital biomarkers spanning self-report, social, behavioral, cognitive, and physiological indicators of various mental health conditions. However, the definition of “digital biomarker,” particularly the “bio-” component, remains unclear. This article reviews the terminology of digital biomarkers in psychiatry and argues for the reservati

Popular Abstract in Swedish Synd och skam. Ogifta mödrar på svensk landsbygd, 1680-1880. Avhandlingens utgångspunkt har varit ogifta mödrar på svensk landsbygd i ett långtidsperspektiv, 1680-1880. Arbetet är kvinnohistoriskt och utgår från en önskan att synliggöra betydelsen av kön i det äldre samhället.
