A trend, which can be noted in the field of cash handling, is the increase of ATMs that are able to recirculate banknotes. Cash recycling means that notes deposited by one customer are then available for withdrawal by another from the same machine. Cash recycling has both economic advantages and reduces environment impact, as transport to machines for filling and emptying them can be decreased. Wh

The mechanoreceptive lateral line system in fishes detects hydrodynamic stimuli and plays a critical role in many fundamental behaviours, including orientation to water currents and the detection of stationary objects, prey and predators. Interspecific variation in lateral line structure may result from a process of functional adaptation, with the background level of hydrodynamic activity proposed

This project explored the usage and effectiveness of a natural water filtration system using xylem from Picea Abies, or Norway Spruce. The project is concentrated on the region of southeast and south Asia where people suffer from water contamination, providing a concept of a water filter with comprehensive protection against waterborne diseases. The study implemented secondary research on product

Sepsis orsakas av en rubbad aktivering av immunsystemet om svar på mikroorganismer. Detta leder till organsvikt och i värsta fall chock med dödlighet på 40-70 %. Vi vill utveckla ny sepsisbehandling med läkemedel och dialys som tar sikte på substanser from bakterierna. I labbet studerar vi inflammatoriska svar på proteiner från streptokocker hos immunceller och blodkärl. Vi identifierar medverkandSepsis is caused by an inappropriate activation of the immune system in response to microbes. This leads to organ failure and in the worst cases septic shock, with 40-70 % mortality. We want to develop sepsis treatment by targeting bacterial products with specific drugs and by dialysis adsorbing the products. In the lab we study inflammatory responses to proteins from streptococci in immune cells

Fotoreceptorerna - tappar och stavar - i ögats näthinna behövs för vår syn men är mycket sårbara, och sjukdomar kan göra att de degenererar och dör, vilket ger svår synnedsättning eller blindhet. En sådan sjukdom är Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), som drabbar ungefär 1 på 3000-4000 personer. RP-sjukdomen är ärftlig och beror på genmutationer, men det är oklart hur dessa får fotoreceptorerna att dö och The rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina of the eye are crucial for our vision, but also vulnerable to diseases, which can make them degenerate and die. Such diseases include Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a heritable disease with a prevalence of about 1 in 3.000 – 4000 people. RP comes from gene mutations but it is not clear how these cause the degeneration and there are no therapies available.

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige, ca 8000 insjuknar och 1400 avlider i sjukdomen varje år. De flesta erhåller tilläggsbehandling efter operation. Men många är redan botade av operation och för 7-40% fungerar inte behandlingen som tänkt. Kroppsform, gener, och livsstil reglerar tillsammans kroppens hormoner, tillväxtfaktorer och inflammation, som i sin tur modulerar Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in Sweden, 8000 women are diagnosed annually and 1400 die of the disease. Most breast cancer patients receive adjuvant therap, but many are cured by surgery and for 7-40% the therapy doesn’t work as intended. Body size, genes, and lifestyle jointly regulate hormone and growth factors and inflammation that modulate risk and prognosis. Normal genetic

Adverse life events during pregnancy may impact upon the developing fetus, predisposing prenatally stressed offspring to the development of psychopathology. In the present study, we examined the effects of prenatal restraint stress (PS) on anxiety- and depression-related behavior in both male and female adult Sprague-Dawley rats. In addition, gene expression profiles within the hippocampus and fro

Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, goes beyond visible symptoms and affects the general well-being of patients. The aim of this study is to understand how patients with psoriasis perceive their skin characteristics and reactivity to allergens. The study population includes 11,283 participants within the European Dermato-Epidemiology Network (EDEN) Fragrance study, covering several Eur

Fascineras du också av hjärnan och dess komplexitet men också av hur nya tekniker och den snabba utvecklingen inom bioteknologi kan öppna upp för helt nya behandlingar?

Premise: Cultivation and naturalization of plants beyond their natural range can bring previously geographically isolated taxa together, increasing the opportunity for hybridization, the outcomes of which are not predictable. Here, we explored the phenotypic and genomic effects of interspecific gene flow following the widespread cultivation of Mentha spicata (spearmint), M. longifolia, and M. suav
