H-kininogen (high-molecular-mass kininogen, HK) is the precursor of the vasoactive peptide hormone bradykinin (BK). Previous work has demonstrated that HK binds to Streptococcus pyogenes through M-proteins, fibrous surface proteins and important virulence factors of these bacteria. Here we find that M-protein-expressing bacteria absorb HK from human plasma. The HK bound to the bacteria was found t

I Helsingborgs stad genomfördes 2016 till 2017 ett projekt som syftade till att förbättra samverkan mellan skola och HVB-hem för att gynna integrationsarbetet.Integration ska, enligt svensk politik, kännetecknas av invandrares och flyktingars rätt till välfärdstjänster. Personer som kommer som invandrare eller flyktingar har också rätt att bejaka och uttrycka sin egen kulturella identitet och ska

New guidelines on care in dementia from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare emphasize that brain imaging should be included in the standard diagnostic evaluation. Evidence supports the importance of regional/global atrophy and white matter changes in dementia. However, the use of imaging in dementia evaluation is often sub-optimal, urging optimization of clinical imaging practice. Ima

Despite the glimmer of hope provided by the discovery and commercialization of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) as a bone graft substitute, side effects related to the use of supraphysiological doses have hindered its clinical usage. In this study, we compared the osteoinductive potential of BMP-2 homodimer with a heterodimer of BMP-2/7, both delivered via a collagen-hydroxyapatite (CHA) scaff

In this article, we seek to explain why the Swedish fideikommiss persisted for so long after their equivalents had been abolished elsewhere in Europe. We do this by analysing sources pertaining to abolishment produced by the Riksdag over approximately 150 years. After the ban on creating fideikommiss in 1810, the remaining fideikommiss were defended by emphasizing that they had been created throug

This paper inspects the territorial and state restructuring of the globalising city-region of Tangier. It argues that recent economic growth and transnational connections follow new forms of entrepreneurial development that aggravate social and spatial inequalities. The analysis shows that these forms of urban and regional management are embedded in the neoliberalised, yet monarch-centric Moroccan

Background: The Online Remote Behavioral Intervention for Tics (ORBIT) study was a multicenter randomized controlled trial of a complex intervention that consisted of a web-based behavioral intervention for children and young people with tic disorders. In the first part of a two-stage process evaluation, we conducted a mixed methods study exploring the reach, dose, and fidelity of the intervention

This presentation departs from two recent collaborative projects. The former An Urban Archive as an English Garden (Franzson, 2019) was instigated by Davíð Brynjar Franzson and revolved around a sonic hologram and performance therein. The second project, Violin with Þytur (Olofsson & Stefánsdóttir, 2021) was a collaboration with Kent Olofsson which resulted in a performance within the nine mon

Abstract: Birds have evolved morphological, physiological and behavioural adaptations, encoded in their migratory programs, to enable successful migration. Sometimes, even closely related species, such as the Eurasian reed warbler and the sedge warbler, may adopt different migration strategies to reach their wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa. To study them in detail, we aimed to compare the

The Bacova_02091 gene in the β-mannan utilisation locus of Bacteroides ovatus encodes a family GH36 α-galactosidase (BoGal36A), transcriptionally upregulated during growth on galactomannan. Characterisation of recombinant BoGal36A reveals unique properties compared to other GH36 α-galactosidases, which preferentially hydrolyse terminal α-galactose in raffinose family oligosaccharides. BoGal36A pre

In mitoplasts from Arum maculatum spadices, succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) and the alternative, cyanide-resistant oxidase activity (measured as m-chlorobenzhydroxamic acid-sensitive duroquinol oxidation) was unaffected by treatment with trypsin. In contrast, when 85% inside-out submitochondrial particles were treated with trypsin the alternative oxidase activity was inhibited by about 50% a

BACKGROUND: Chronic leg ulcers remain a challenge to the treating physician. Such wounds often need skin grafts to heal. This necessitates a readily available, fast, simple, and standardized procedure for grafting.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this work was to test a novel method developed for outpatient transplant procedures.METHODS: The procedure employs a handheld disposable dermatome and a roller min

Sport diplomacy provides a challenging example of how diplomaticpractice is changing in light of a proliferation of actors,agendas, and modes of communication. This context hasinspired greater interest in techniques for managing the participationof others in the pursuit of desired outcomes, such asdebates surrounding multi-stakeholder diplomacy, publicdiplomacy, and soft power. However, these deba
