The Scoundrel Years: Scandinavian impudence of the press and print industry, c. 1760–1800
By a curious historical coincidence, the world’s first two government-sponsored declarations of freedom of the press were pronounced in Sweden 1766 and in Denmark 1770. Although th...
Lysosomal Remodelling in Natural Killer Cells – New Targets for Immune-Gene Therapy
The key role for natural killer (NK) cells in the host response to virus infected or transformed cells is well known. A central biological process underlying the ability of NK cell...
To what extent do measures of biodiversity correlate? A systematic synthesis to improve the assessment of biodiversity
Biodiversity is lost at an alarming rate and to halt this loss, high-quality biodiversity measures must be used to assess the state and temporal trends in biodiversity. However, it...
Brain teaser: are impacts of pharmaceutical pollution on wildlife mediated by brain size?
Release of novel synthetic chemicals into the environment is amongst the fastest-growing agents of global change. This includes psychoactive pharmaceuticals, which can accumulate i...
Novel stem cells drive skeletal growth
Children grow in height through the activity of the growth plates, tiny discs of cartilage located near the ends of long bones. Growth plates must continuously supply large number...
Learning from forest fires: Analysing unequal impacts, well-being and local knowledge and action
Large forest fires are an increasing threat for rural communities around the world. While States increase their investments in fire extinction, everyday experiences and efforts of...
Personalized prevention and therapy for RA; Combining patient reported information, epidemiology, genetics and immunology
Personalized prevention and therapy for RA; Combining patient reported information, epidemiology, genetics and immunologyOverall purpose and aims: To enable, implement and evaluate...
Epidemiological studies of respiratory diseases
Bakgrund: Diagnos av kroniskt obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) har baserats på förekomst av kronisk luftvägsobstruktion, dvs kvoten FEV1/FVC, men validiteten av de föreslagna gränsern...
Tissue-engineering and intraocular transplantation of optimally functioning insulin-secreting islet organoids
Pancreatic islet transplantation is essential for treating insulin-dependent diabetes. Outcome varies due to transplantation site, quality of islets and the fact that transplanted...
The missing picture: How non–exhaust sources contribute to ultrafine particle emission
Ultrafine particles (UFP) are defined as “Particles sized about 100 nm in diameter or less”. Adverse health and climate impacts of particles strongly depend on their size, making t...
Can lower activity of sediment aerobic methanotrophs explain why coastal areas are hotpots for marine methane emissions? The role of animal-bacteria interactions, light and other abiotic drivers
In marine systems, shallow coastal areas are hotspots for methane (CH4) emissions. Here, much of the CH4 is produced in sediments by methanogenic archaea, but methanotrophs that ox...
Where the sky touches the sea – an improved description of the air-sea gas exchange
Climate change affects our society in various ways. Accurate climate scenarios are essential to aid decisionmakers and society to adapt to the effects. Adequate parametrisation of...
PET imaging of the immune system in Type 1 Diabetes
The understanding of the autoimmune response in T1D is mainly based on animal models, human tissue biopsy or post-mortem analysis. However, pancreatic biopsies are invasive and dan...
Linking nitrogen and water – spatiotemporally optimizing forest fertilization for balancing forest productivity and ecosystem services
Nitrogen fertilization in productive forests is one of the most profitable measures to increase forest growth in Sweden. Fertilization can cause profoundly negative impacts on othe...
Temporarily Welcome – An investigation of the links and impediments between the restrictive turn in migration policy and the transformation to a socially sustainable and inclusive society
The implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies lies at the core of the construction of peaceful and inclusive societies and cities. But how should migration poli...
Optimised use of antibiotics to improve clinical efficacy and reduce the risk of resistance development
The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria results in treatment failure and increased mortality in common infections. Moreover, antibiotic resistance threatens all pa...
Highly effective functional wood-based hybrid materials for water treatment
The Project is aimed at the development of new effective approaches for synthesis of new functional advanced materials based on the lignin and biochar. The object of the Project ha...
Sleep and Biomarkers - From Aging to Alzheimer’s Disease (SPIRE): An Innovative Multi-Modal Research Approach.
In the absence of curative dementia drugs, it is crucial to investigate modifiable risk factors. Sleep disturbances have a wide range of negative health/neurological consequences,...
Electrostatic air sampling for tuberculosis diagnosis and identification of household contacts
Each year tuberculosis (TB) causes illness in approximately 10 million and kills 1.5 million people around the world, making it the single most deadly infectious disease. It has be...
A novel clonal and ultrasensitive sequencing approach for studying the clinical significance of viral genetic variation in HIV infection
Changes in viral genetic variation within hosts alter the severity and spread of infectious diseases with important implications for clinical medicine and public health. HIV infect...
