Multi-electron donation remains a challenge for CO2 photocatalytic conversion to multi-electron products due to the efficient Auger recombination or annihilation at multiple excitation conditions for conventional molecules or semiconductor photocatalysts. In this paper, we demonstrated possible multi-electron donation within a quantum dot (QD)/metal complex hybrid photocatalyst system when multipl

Nanowires have an ideal shape for high-resolution imaging, with a small cross-section for high resolution and a long length for strong absorption. However, since the absorption in nanowires is dominated by nanophotonic effects, it is unclear what resolution and efficiency such devices could offer. Here, we investigate the limits of spatial resolution and efficiency of nanowire-based direct detecto

The structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are malleable to solution conditions. Considerable effort has been devoted to understanding the effects of molecular crowding on these properties. Polymer-based crowders, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Ficoll®, are commonly used to simulate the intracellular environment by replicating the high concentration of macromolec

Phage collections are essential tools for discovering and dissecting bacterial anti-phage defense systems. Here, we report the isolation, characterization, and annotated genome sequences of five environmental Escherichia coli-infecting phages, obtained during the 2023 Fundamentals of Basic and Applied Phage Biology course at Lund University. The phages were isolated using a motile E. coli K-12 BW2

Chaperone proteins are essential for maintaining proteostasis. Their main role is to assist with the folding of other proteins and to prevent the aggregation of misfolded proteins. The molecular chaperone DNAJB6b efficiently suppresses amyloid formation of several peptides. This activity may rely on the same physicochemical properties as those driving chaperone self-assembly into large micellar-li

The unprecedented x-ray flux density provided by modern x-ray sources offers new spatiotemporal possibilities for x-ray imaging of fast dynamic processes. Approaches to exploit such possibilities often result in either (i) a limited number of projections or spatial information due to limited scanning speed, as in time-resolved tomography, or (ii) a limited number of time points, as in stroboscopic

Background: Influenza ranges from a mild and self-limiting infection to a life-threatening disease with high mortality despite intensive care. Conclusive data on the association between influenza type/subtype and mortality among adults treated at intensive care units (ICU) is lacking. Objectives: To investigate the mortality in adults admitted to ICU with laboratory-confirmed influenza during thre

Migratory birds have evolved a multitude of physiological and behavioural adaptations to reach their population-specific wintering areas during their first migration. The endogenous program encodes distance, direction and fuelling, and involves species-specific adaptations leading naïve migratory birds along highly diverse routes. While daylength has been extensively studied in relation to the ons

Morgondagens energisystem står inför stora utmaningar och snabba förändringar både i Sverige och i världen. För att nå ambitiösa klimatmål ses elektrifiering som en viktig lösning på problemen, där Svenska Kraftnät räknar med en nära fördubbling av efterfrågan på el till 2045. Denna ökning, till stor del driven av förnybara energikällor som är svårare att planera och pronosticera, innebär betydandThe energy system of tomorrow faces major challenges and rapid changes both in Sweden and worldwide. To achieve ambitious climate targets, electrification is seen as a key solution, with the Swedish TSO projecting a near doubling of electricity demand by 2045. This increase, driven largely by renewable and intermittent energy sources, poses significant challenges for grid stability. Consequently,

Single-strand RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism and in the regulation of gene transcription. The RBP RBM3 was recently suggested to be a proto-oncogene in colorectal cancer; however, such a role has not been corroborated by previous studies in the colon or other tumor types, and the prognostic implications of tumor-specific RBM3 expression remain unclear. M

Adverse environmental and social conditions early in life have a strong impact on health. They are major risk factors for mental diseases in adulthood and, in some cases, their effects can be transmitted across generations. The consequences of detrimental stress conditions on brain metabolism across generations are not well known. Using high-field (14.1 T) magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we inves

Brain glutamine synthetase (GS) is an integral part of the glutamate-glutamine cycle and occurs in the glial compartment. In vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) allows noninvasive measurements of the concentrations and synthesis rates of metabolites. (15)N MRS is an alternative approach to (13)C MRS. Incorporation of labeled (15)N from ammonia in cerebral glutamine allows to measure several

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is offered to an increasing number of breast cancer (BC) patients, and comprehensive monitoring of treatment response is of utmost importance. Several imaging modalities are available to follow tumor response, although likely to provide different clinical information. We aimed to examine the association between early radiological response by three conventional imagi

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent and causes serious health complications in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). Early diagnosis of NAFLD is important, as this can help prevent irreversible damage to the liver and, ultimately, hepatocellular carcinomas. We sought to expand etiological understanding and develop a diagnostic tool for NAFLD usin

Background The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation is routinely used to assess renal function but exhibits varying accuracy depending on patient characteristics and clinical presentation. The overall aim of the present study was to assess if and to what extent glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation based on creatinine can be improved.MethodsIn a cro

The identification of carotid atheromatous plaques associated to a higher neurologic risk may be important in therapeutic decision making for asymptomatic patients and symptomatic patients with 50%-70% stenosis. The introduction of high-definition ultrasonography (HDU) and computer-assisted image analysis provides the possibility of a standard, objective and detailed characterization of the struct
