Ferric uptake regulator (Fur) and Fur-like proteins form an important family of transcriptional regulators in many bacterial species. In this work we have characterized a Fur-like protein, the peroxide regulator PerR, in an M1 serotype of Streptococcus pyogenes. To determine the role of PerR in S. pyogenes, we inactivated the gene by allelic replacement. PerR-deficient bacteria showed 48% reductio

Daniel Quinn is the protagonist in Paul Auster's novel City of Glass. This essay traces his development chronologically to assess his search for, need of, and eventual lack of an identity.

Klimatförändringarna tvingar miljontals människor världen över att lämna sina hem, men det juridiska skyddet för dem som flyr miljörelaterade kriser är fortfarande otydligt och fragmenterat. 1951 års flyktingkonvention erbjuder viktiga skydd för personer som flyr förföljelse, men omfattar inte individer som fördrivs av klimatförändringar, vilket skapar betydande luckor i den internationella rättenClimate change is displacing millions globally, yet legal protections for those fleeing environmental crises remain unclear and fragmented. The 1951 Refugee Convention offers critical safeguards for those fleeing persecution but excludes individuals displaced by climate change, leaving significant gaps in international law. This raises pressing questions: How can international law address the chal

alpha 1-Microglobulin, a plasma protein with immunoregulatory properties, and bikunin, the light chain of the proteinase inhibitors inter-alpha-inhibitor and pre-alpha-inhibitor, are translated as a precursor protein from the same mRNA. The cosynthesis of alpha 1-microglobulin and bikunin is unique compared to other proproteins such as procomplement components and prohormones, since alpha 1-microg

Välkommen till Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper, en av sex institutioner vid Medicinska fakulteten, Lunds universitet. Genom vår forskning ökar vi kunskapen och förståelsen om människors hälsa och livskvalitet. Hälsofrämjande och förebyggande insatser, behandlande åtgärder, vård och omsorg och rehabilitering är centrala forskningsområden. Vi arbetar i nära samarbete med hälso- och sjukvård och kThe Department of Health Sciences is one of six departments at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University. We conduct research within the field of health sciences. Health promotion and prevention efforts, Treatment measures, Health and social care and Rehabilitation are key research areas. We work in close collaboration with health care and municipalities to translate research results into practical

Hjärt-kärlsjukdom är världens vanligaste dödsorsak. Det främsta underliggande tillståndet är ateroskleros: plack som bildas i blodkärlens väggar och kan orsaka akuta komplikationer, såsom hjärtinfarkt och stroke. Genom vår forskning ämnar vi identifiera kliniska metoder som kan hjälpa oss att hitta plack med hög komplikationsrisk, för att i tid kunna ge adekvat förebyggande behandling. Vi vill äveCardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death. The main underlying condition is atherosclerosis: plaques formed in the arteries which can cause complications as stroke or myocardial infarction. Our research aims to prevent complications by identifying clinical methods to detect patients with high-risk plaques to personalize treatment strategies as well as novel mechanisms to use as ther

Existing metastatic disease represents a major clinical challenge. The long-term goal of our study is to gain deeper understanding of cellular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis. We focus on identification and validation of new predictive biomarkers and drug targets that are specifically for metastatic cancer. We recently focus on studying the role of lipid kinases in particular, phosphatidyl

The present study (n = 121) was investigating the mediating effects of frustrated basic psychological needs on the relationship between passive destructive leading behaviors, burnout symptoms and the willingness to leave. The concept of the three basic psychological needs (need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness) is embedded in the Self-Determination Theory. As independent variables the con

Assessing the relative contribution of Land Use and Cover Changes (LUCC) and climate changes on runoff still represents a great challenge for water resources management. This issue is particularly critical for the Upper Paraná River Basin (UPRB), one of the most important basins in South America and responsible for most of the production of food, ethanol, and electricity generation in Brazil.
