Mapping the dynamics of human uterine natural killer cells for development of personalized care in female reproductive medicine
Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are present in the non-pregnant (endometrium) and pregnant (decidua) human uterus. Studies indicate uNK cell properties influence risk for fertil...
Lateral violence: Effects of external pressures on Indigenous and local communities
The purpose of this project is to investigate lateral violence (intra-group conflict) in Indigenous and local communities on the Swedish side of Sápmi, with a particular focus on t...
MRTF-SRF signaling in health and disease
Smooth muscle cells regulate vascular resistance and blood pressure. They also contribute to vascular disease by trans-differentiating from a contractile state into macrophage-like...
New design concepts to renewable and multifunctional polymer platforms for 3D printing
Driven by sustainability goals and green chemistry principles, the project ambition is to establish innovative and efficient approaches for polymer design and additive manufacturin...
Genetic population structure of Baltic Sea eelgrass - urgent information for conservation of a foundation species under climate change
Biodiversity loss and climate change are two of the grand challenges of our time.Maintaining biodiversity, within and between species and ecosystems, will become increasingly impor...
Gawarbati - Documenting a vulnerable linguistic community in the Hindu Kush
Gawarbati is an endangered and under-documented language spoken in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area. There is no comprehensive study of its grammar or lexicon, and no available...
RapMixTox: Rapid and automated prediction of complex mixture toxicity by nontarget instrumental analysis
Understanding the toxicity of real-world complex mixtures, and identification of the most toxic chemicals is an essential starting point for intelligent design of water treatment s...
Uncovering mechanisms inducing thiamine deficiency in top predatory fish
Thiamine (vitamin B1) dynamics and deficiencies of this vitamin are intensively discussed in the scientific literature and in media. We need research to understand the mechanisms r...
UNDERSTANDING MOLECULAR GENETICS OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE
Fatty liver disease (FLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease and it will soon become the first cause of liver transplant. Despite its prevalence, specific treatments for...
Linking adipocyte lipid storage determinants to common metabolic disorders
Adipocytes residing in white adipose tissue are cells specialized in storing energy in the form of lipids in organelles called lipid droplets (LDs). The hydrophobic LD core, contai...
Mould growth and mycotoxin production in novel plant-based foods
When food goes mouldy, consumers are faced with a dilemma: avoid mycotoxins by discarding the entire product, or reduce food waste by salvaging the non-mouldy part. The few guideli...
Scandinavian Storminess during the Holocene: Separating the Signals
Over the last decades, the eastern North Atlantic region has experienced an increase in severe windstorms. While it is expected that storminess (frequency and intensity) will incre...
Etiology of autoimmune (type 1) diabetes
The purpose is to clarify the etiological mechanisms by which beta cells are attacked by virus causing an autoimmune reaction or spontaneously attacked in the BB rat. Specific aim...
Inflammatorisk och infektiös miljö i svårt sjuka lungor reducerar terapeutiska effekter hos stamceller - ett innovativt sätt att förbättra och patientanpassa cellterapi
Bakgrund: Svåra inflammatoriska lungsjukdomar som chocklunga (ARDS) och cystisk fibros (CF) försämrar inte bara patientens livskvalitet och livslängd, utan leder också till en ökad...
Preventing small-scale physical disturbance from causing large-scale turbidity and loss of coastal habitats
Small-scale coastal exploitation and recreational boating is increasing rapidly despite management efforts, resulting in severe negative impact on coastal ecosystems through increa...
Human emissions and indoor surface chemistry: underlying factors, exposure and control
In the past decades, building materials, interior furnishing, human activities and outdoor air have been considered major sources of indoor air pollutants. Recently it has become i...
Unexpected bedfellows and rivaling friends: how actors’ different stakes in complex environmental problems lead to both collaborating and competing interest coalitions
Many contemporary environmental problems span several different policy sectors. For example, conservation of critical habitats typically comes with implications for forestry manage...
Citizen participation in densification projects – A model for how residents can influence urban development in the early stages of the planning of large-scale densification projects
The research project will develop a working model for how residents can influence urban development in the early stages when large-scale densification projects are planned. A neigh...
Management and restoration towards healthy rangelands in East Africa
Drylands hosts around 25% of the human population of the world and 50% of its livestock. Dry rangelands are often degraded and have low productivity. Continued degradation is exace...
Discovery of novel immune-regulatory mechanisms through spatial and functional characterization of immune cells and PDGFR-defined subsets of fibroblasts
Analyses of pre-clinical cancer models imply immune-regulatory roles of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). PDGFRs are emerging as functionally and clinically relevant CAF subset...
