Cable-driven Arm Soft Re-configurable Exoskeleton for Muscle Impairment Rehabilitation
Upper limb muscles wrap around bones to aid Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) like eating, enhances leverage and joint stability. Conditions like stroke, along with an aging popula...
Flashback and Thermoacoustic Instabilities in Hydrogen/Ammonia Flames
Carbon-free fuels, such as hydrogen (H2) and ammonia (NH3) can be produced from renewable energy, holding vast potential to develop carbon-free combustion technology and ensure a s...
Shedding light on the key molecular determinants regulating 3D diffusion and activity of antimicrobials in bacterial biofilms.
Bacterial biofilms are associated with approximately 1.7 million hospital-acquired infections annually in the United States, incurring an annual economic burden of about 11 billion...
Writers and the Teaching Profession: a Digital Archive of Teachers' Voices from the History of Italian Literature
Many writers across different literary traditions have been working as teachers, and thus school has often been not only a space of canon transmission, but also a source of literar...
Modernist Childhoods: The Figure of the Child in Women's Fiction, 1890-1950
The project will examine representations of children and childhood in women’s fiction of the modernist period (c. 1890-1950). The concept of childhood became central to late ninete...
The Only Free Science: Philosophy Without Presuppositions From Classical German Philosophy to Contemporary Philosophy
TONES aims to explore the idea of philosophy as a presupposition-free science and to develop this idea as a new metaphilosophical paradigm that provides a theoretical underpinning...
Designed by Nature? Religious Images Produced by Minerals, Plants and Animals in Western Science and Devotion (14th-17th Century)
My project spotlights a category of religious images that has hitherto escaped scholarly investigation: sacred representations that were believed to be a product of nature. Objects...
HIF-1α in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts: Unveiling implications for the tumor microenvironment and therapeutic strategies
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite significant advancements in understanding CRC pathogenesis, the clinical prognosis of CRC...
How vertically transmitted gut microbes and immune genes synergistically direct anti-malarial defence in birds
Mounting an appropriate and effective immune response is critical to protect an organism from infection. In vertebrates, the adaptive immune system (AIS) plays a central role in im...
SciLifeLab Programme for fUture Leaders in life SciencE
SciLifeLab PULSE is a MSCA-COFUND postdoctoral programme of excellence in Life Sciences coordinated by the Swedish research infrastructure SciLifeLab. PULSE will recruit 48 postdoc...
Climate-smart reforestation through the lens of remote sensing and microclimate sensors
To address the escalating threat of climate change, there is an urgent need to develop smart strategies that bolster climate resilience. Within the context of climate change mitiga...
Ecological memory and extinction debt: soil biota responses to land use legacies
The impact of land use change on various organisms, including plants, birds, mammals, amphibians, and arthropods, leading to local extinction debt, has been widely recognized. With...
Universality Classes for Strongly Correlated Random Fields
The objective of this project is to develop the mathematical theory of critical phenomena. In spite of recent breakthroughs, second-order phase transitions have remained largely el...
Harnessing bacteria-driven interfacial dynamics for optimised soil drying
Bacteria abound in the soil, contributing to major global geocycles and plant growth. Bioaugmentation, the stimulation or tuning of this natural microbiome to optimize its function...
Early bilingualism boosts the brain's resilience to dyslexia
Learning to read strongly depends on phonological development that is largely influenced by environmental factors. BIBALANCE will investigate the extent to which the early acquisit...
Feeding the Roman Army, Making the Empire
FRAME capitalises on advances in archaeological science and a critical mass of archaeological material to examine how the Roman Empire’s frontiers in Europe functioned as economic...
Mutations in healthy tissues: a double-edged sword for tissues homeostasis
Healthy tissues become progressively populated of clonally expanded cells that have acquired somatic mutations. Often these mutations modify cancer genes promoting cell plasticity,...
Decoding the Wiring of Integrative Neurocircuits in Metabolic Control
Systemic metabolism has to be constantly adjusted to the internal variance in nutrient availability. Therefore, the brain integrates multiple signals related to energy balance and...
The Politics of the Latent Educational Cleavage
One of the most important changes of the last 200 years is the massive educational expansion and the related shift from industrial to post-industrial societies in countries around...
Shaping cortical computations via higher-order feedback
Our ability to flexibly adapt to changing environments depends on how we perceive, prioritize and act on stimuli. This involves actively integrating our current sensory experiences...
