Climate change is predicted to alter global precipitation regimes. However, the response of soil carbon and nitrogen cycles and soil microorganisms to precipitation reduction is poorly understood but is dependent on ecosystem type. To evaluate the impacts of reduced precipitation on soil respiration, soil inorganic nitrogen (i.e., NH4+–N and NO3−–N), nitrogen mineralization, and soil microbial com
Introduction: Allergen exposure worsens viral-triggered asthma exacerbations and could predispose the host to secondary bacterial infections. We have previously demonstrated that exposure to house dust mite (HDM) reduced TLR-3-induced IFN-β in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) from healthy donors. We hypothesize that HDM sensitization in different ways may be involved in both viral and bact
Protein dynamics are essential to biological function, and methods to determine such structural rearrangements constitute a frontier in structural biology. Synchrotron radiation can track real-time protein dynamics, but accessibility to dedicated high-flux single X-ray pulse time-resolved beamlines is scarce and protein targets amendable to such characterization are limited. These limitations can
OBJECTIVE: Hyperglycemia is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease in diabetes. Recently, we reported that high glucose activates the Ca(2+)/calcineurin-dependent transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) in arteries ex vivo. Here, we sought to determine whether hyperglycemia activates NFAT in vivo and whether this leads to vascular complications. METHODS AND RES
This article is a response to the recent work of Michael F. Bird and Michael R. Whitenton, in which they argue that Hippolytus's De Christo et Antichristo provides a clear instance of a subjective genitive construction and unambiguously identifies as Jesus' death on the cross. However, in light of (1) a significant textual variant, and (2) the role that plays in Hippolytus's theology of martyrdom,
Background: Infections trigger complex immune responses, with conserved as well as disease-specific characteristics. Methods: Proteomic screening technology and gene expression analysis were used here to define the immune response in infants, with their first episode of febrile urinary tract infection. Urine and peripheral blood samples were obtained at enrollment and at follow-up, after 6 months.
CD40-stimulating immunotherapy can elicit potent anti-tumor responses by activating dendritic cells and enhancing T-cell priming. Tumor vessels orchestrate T-cell recruitment during immune response, but the effect of CD40-stimulating immunotherapy on tumor endothelial cells has not been evaluated. Here, we have investigated how tumor endothelial cells transcriptionally respond to CD40-stimulating
BACKGROUND: Malignancies of the liver and bile ducts are associated with high recurrence rates after surgery and poor prognosis when disseminated. Medical treatment has been improved in recent years, with chemotherapy, targeted therapy and checkpoint inhibitors offering opportunities to influence the course of the diseases. Many patients do not benefit from treatment, however, and predictive and p
Din första tid på universitetet börjar vanligen på grundnivå. Här bygger du vidare på kunskaper från gymnasiet och lägger grunden för din examen. För att kunna studera på grundnivå på universitetet behöver du minst grundläggande behörighet från gymnasiet eller motsvarande, till exempel komvux eller folkhögskola. När du är klar med din grundutbildning kan du söka vidare till avancerad nivå om du vi

HEJ ALLA SACO-S-MEDLEMMAR VID GU Saco-S vill i detta brev informera om löneförhandlingar 2017. Arbetsgivaren har ett önskemål om att försöka vrida löneförhandlingarna rätt i tid, kopplat till årscyklar och revisionsdatum som är den 1 oktober. Saco-S delar denna bild med arbetsgivaren. Det är extra viktigt att komma rätt i årscykeln inför 2018, då det under nästa år kommer vara byte av många prefek
Educational reforms including community-based educational initiatives maintain crucial roles in the processes of democratization in the Middle East. The patterns of reform are diverse and reflect domestic factors as well as varying linkages to global forces. Among the factors driving and defining the effects of reform we find: 1. Socio-economic development;2. Growth of the civil society;3.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but more mechanistic studies are needed. Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) can elicit a strong response in many COPD-related cell types, but no studies have been performed in lung fibroblasts. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of CSE on gene expression in lung fibroblasts from hea
The grasslands in arid and semi-arid regions rely heavily on the use of rain, thus, improving rain use efficiency (RUE) is essential for securing sustainable development of grassland ecosystems in these areas with limited rainfall. In this study, the spatial and temporal variabilities of RUE for grassland ecosystems over Northwestern China during 1982-2013 were analyzed using the normalized differ
Sömn är nödvändigt för att din kropp och hjärna ska kunna återhämta sig och bearbeta alla intryck. Sömnen påverkar också din förmåga att minnas och lära dig nya saker.
