Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been synthesized in the absence of a solvent using fumed silica nanoparticles to create a porous network. The method employed led to a chiral imprinting effect and allowed for an excellent control over the internal morphology of imprinted and non-imprinted polymer (NIP) materials. The polymers possess high surface areas (>300 m2) and identical pore size (
Chemical signaling is ubiquitous in the marine environment. Plankton rely on chemical signals to find mates, hunt prey, and respond to threats, and these small-scale interactions can propagate into community-wide cascades and large-scale ecological changes. The chemical signaling exchange in the open ocean is poorly understood, and fundamental information about concentrations and spatiotemporal va
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent synthetic chemicals widely used in consumer and industrial products. Increasing evidence of their adverse health effects has intensified the need to understand their impact on human immune function. This study assessed PFAS toxicity using a human dendritic cell model by focusing on gene expression and surface marker modulation, as well as a
A machine learning conceptual clustering method applied to reaction mechanisms provides an automatic and, hence, unbiased means to differentiate between reactive phases within a total reactive process. Similar reactive phases were defined by means of local reaction sensitivity values. The method was applied to the Hochgreb and Dryer aldehyde combustion mechanism of 36 reactions. Three major time r

LRRK2-G2019S is one of the most common Parkinson’s disease (PD)-associated mutations and has been shown to alter microglial functionality. However, the impact of LRRK2-G2019S on transcriptional profile of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia-like cells (iMGLs) and how it corresponds to microglia in idiopathic PD brain is not known. Here we demonstrate that LRRK2-G2019S carrying iM
The location and activity of saprophytic and arbuscular mycorrhizal (NM) fungal phosphatases have been investigated with a fluorogenic substrate (ELF) that forms a fluorescent crystalline precipitate at the site of phosphatase activity. This ELF substrate method was compared with other detection methods such as fast blue RR salt staining and p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The ELF substrate was successfu
This study is the first to estimate the effect of Agri-Environmental Schemes (AES) on nutrient runoff using abatement data and water samples on a large scale. This unique combination of data sources identifies all farms located upstream from a given water sampling site. By using watersheds that cover 91% of the Swedish land area and AES payments to 83% of Swedish farms, the study is almost a full
BACKGROUND: Central sensitization has been suggested as an explanation of the wide range of gastrointestinal and extraintestinal symptoms commonly seen in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In this study, the presence and level of central sensitization, and its association to gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms were explored in IBS in comparison with control groups.METHODS: We investigated patients with I
It is difficult to prepare for events with large-scale consequences and low probability. Simulation exercises (SimEx) provide the opportunity to improve preparedness through strengthening capabilities before an actual emergency. Conducting a SimEx could be very expensive and therefore the SimEx should be thoroughly evaluated. Action plans (AP) determine the relevant recommendations to be implement
