MEMBRANE FLUIDITY HOMEOSTASIS: THE PAQR-2/ADIPOR PATHWAY IN C. ELEGANS AND MAMMALIAN CELLS
Using C. elegans, we have discovered the first sensor/regulator of membrane homeostasis in animals: it is composed of two proteins, PAQR-2 and IGLR-2, which are homologs of the mam...
Educational clash or educational potential? School aged asylum seekers’ encounters with Swedish health education
The Swedish Research Council has identified ‘the health of migrants’ as a priority subject area. Research suggests however, that health assumes different meanings in different cult...
Solving the mystery of the Ediacaran biota: Earth’s first complex life revealed
Following billions of years of microbial life, the transition to a world of complex animals between 580 and 541 Ma marks a fundamental milestone of evolution. Despite its significa...
Reclaiming the Unformed. A Study in Political Aesthetics
The aim of the project is to critically and historically analyze the development of the conception of the “unformed” in modern Western European art and art discourse between 1929 a...
The role of blood-brain barrier integrity in herpes simplex virus neuropathology
The purpose of the proposed study is to understand to what extent reactivation and subsequent neurological dissemination of alphaherpesviruses are caused by functional impairments...
Drivers of Displacement: Accounting for the Variation in Forced Migration from Conflict
The purpose of this project is to explain what drives variation in forced migration across conflicts and over time. Displacement has increased dramatically in recent years with maj...
Utveckling av medfödda fetala lymfoida celler i människa
Innate lymphoid cells (ILC), including NK cells, ILC1, ILC2, and ILC3, are involved in regulation of lymphoid tissue-development, and play important roles in viral and bacterial in...
Targeting the residual malignant clone in myeloid leukemia using NK cell-stimulatory immunotherapy
During the last years, we have characterized the immunobiology of patients receiving IL-2-based immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). With this research proposal, we aim t...
Overcoming inattention to moral values in humanitarian decisions
There is ample evidence that people are inconsistent in the way that they value humanitarian objectives when making decisions about helping persons. Most people believe they should...
Understanding How Economic Crises Shape Social Mobility
Do economic crises improve or diminish intergenerational mobility? Large economic crisis are often catalyzed by shocks to the financial system and represent common features of the...
Eureka S0307 MINDESTRESS
Purpose and goal: Shape changes during processing, machining, are a common problem for the manufacturing industry. This project intended to investigate this problem by developing...
THERMACH: THERmally assisted MACHining of difficult-to-cut materials
Purpose and goal: Project goal is to model, develop and test the Induction Assisted Machining (IAM) technology, which combines rapid induction heating and softening of difficult-t...
Gauge theories and holography
The proposed project will involve research in strongly coupled supersymmetric gauge theories with a large number of colors. It will use localization and holography to study the re...
Parallel evolution of phenotypic plasticity in a life history trait
Understanding the evolutionary causes of adaptive divergence is a fundamental goal in evolutionary biology as it provides important insights into how biodiversity is generated and...
Computational modelling of intrinsically disordered proteins – interaction, regulation, and disease
Recent discoveries suggest that intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or regions (IDRs) may be just as critical as the structured proteins or regions. Given the important and of...
Municipality Strategies for Integrated Schools: Imposed desegregation of schools for transformative social change.
A critical mass of studies in Sweden show that residential segregation in combination with school choice policeslead to increased school segregation. This trend is seen most vividl...
Fluctuations of thermodynamic observables across the quantum-to-classical transition
Fluctuations of thermodynamic observables carry valuable information, making them a promising diagnostic tool for, e.g., quantifying dissipation. Furthermore, measurement-feedback...
Neuronal networks – from circuit to behaviour
How does neuronal activity translate into behaviour? We use the spinal locomotor network to study how circuits are coordinated to generate a variable output. Understanding how diff...
Exploring a New Generation Environmentally Friendly Quantum Dot Materials
Quantum dots (QDs) based on nanometer sized semiconductor particles are very promising for utilization in optoelectronic devices. The size and surface of the QDs are very important...
To grow or not to grow: the horse mane as an innovative model to identify genetic key regulators for hair growth
We aim to use the horse as a model to study hair loss, and hair growth disorders, in human. Hair loss, or hair diseases, can be psychologically stressful. Androgenic alopecia is a...
