Hjärntumörer utgör omkring 2 procent av alla cancerdiagnoser och den vanligaste elakartade hjärntumörtypen är glioblastom (GBM). Patienter med GBM behandlas i dag med kirurgi, cellgifter och strålbehandling, men sjukdomen går sällan att bota och det krävs nya och mer effektiva behandlingsstrategier.I min doktorsavhandling har jag använt tre olika musmodeller, kallade GL261, KR158 och SB28, för attAdvances in surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy have only modestly improved survival rates of malignant brain tumor patients during the last decades. Emerging evidence suggests that an efficient treatment of malignant brain tumors will likely require the management of multiple aspects of tumor pathobiology in order to manipulate features as tumor heterogeneity and tumor immunosuppression. Immunothera

Control of the crystallization process is central to developing nanomaterials with atomic precision to meet the demands of electronic and quantum technology applications. Semiconductor nanowires grown by the vapor-liquid-solid process are a promising material system in which the ability to form components with structure and composition not achievable in bulk is well-established. Here, we use in si

INTRODUCTION: Kaczyńska et al. reported a family with myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) caused by a truncating SGCE mutation, in which two members had epilepsy. Further, patients had mild psychiatric and developmental deficits. CLINICAL REFLECTIONS: Characteristic motor features of M-D include myoclonus, dystonia and tremor. A wide range of additional disease manifestations are known. A few patients with M

Phosphorylation is one of the most abundant types of post-translational modifications of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). This study examines the conformational changes in the 15-residue-long N-terminal fragment of the IDP statherin upon phosphorylation, using computer simulations with two different force fields: AMBER ff99SB-ILDN and CHARMM36m. The results from the simulations are compar

We present a scheme for transferring conformational degrees of freedom from all-atom (AA) simulations of an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) to coarse-grained (CG) Monte Carlo (MC) simulations using conformational swap moves. AA simulations of a single histatin 5 peptide in water were used to obtain a structural ensemble, which is reweighted in a CGMC simulation in the presence of a negative

In this paper, we describe the conversion of three different heart transplantation data sets to a Resource Description Framework (RDF) representation and how it can be utilized to train deep learning models. These models were used to predict the outcome of patients both pre- and post-transplant and to calculate their survival time. The International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (IS

ABTRACT: tRNA-derived fragments or tRFs were long considered merely degradation intermediates of full-length tRNAs; however, emerging research is highlighting unanticipated new and highly distinct functions in epigenetic control, metabolism, immune activity and stem cell fate commitment. Importantly, recent studies suggest that RNA epitranscriptomic modifications may provide an additional regulato

Quantitative inferences about psychological attributes, such as extraversion, depression and empathy, involve measurement instruments as well as mathematical models that specify how indicators should be aggregated. The type of model that is appropriate for doing so is conditional on the type of relation that exists between an attribute, its facets and its indicators. The common assumption is that

Background: The path between patients and health care providers has adopted new advanced information technologies. However, opinions vary about the digital care meeting. Physicians have expressed concerns about increased workload, changes in working methods, and information security. Purpose: To explore physicians’ experiences and satisfaction of digital primary health care. Method: A convergent m

Membrane fouling is the major factor limiting the wider applicability of the membrane-based technologies in water treatment and in separation and purification processes of biorefineries, pulp and paper industry, food industry and other sectors. Endeavors to prevent and minimize fouling requires a deep understanding on the fouling mechanisms and their relative effects. In this study, Brunauer-Emmet

Background: The changing health care environment promotes the adoption of new information technologies to connect patients and health care providers. However, individuals greatly vary in their ability to use new digital systems, and in their feelings regarding integrity and validation. Caregivers in southern Sweden plan to implement a new digital primary health care (DPHC) service, and patients’ e

The genomes of Asgard Archaea, a novel archaeal proposed superphylum, share an enriched repertoire of eukaryotic signature genes and thus promise to provide insights into early eukaryote evolution. However, the distribution, metabolisms, cellular structures, and ecology of the members within this superphylum are not well understood. Here we provide a meta-analysis of the environmental distribution

Background: Support has been found for using garden therapy as form of intervention for clients with common mental disorders, but no consensus has been found for what contributes to perceived meaningfulness of garden therapy. Aims: To investigate whether participants perceived garden therapy as meaningful, and if so, what contributed to the meaningfulness. Material and methods: Narrative individua
