Whereas the link between impaired male fertility and risk of testicular and prostate cancer is well established, studies investigating non-reproductive cancer risk among men with impaired reproductive function are scarce and show conflicting results. The aim of the study was to compare the risk of developing non-reproductive cancers in men achieving paternity through assisted reproduction as compa

Standard quantum measurements are projective. However, the full scope of quantum measurements is represented by positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) and many of these break the limitations of projective measurements as resources in quantum information. It is therefore natural to consider how accurately an experimenter with access only to projective measurements and classical processing can si

Air pollution has been linked to reduced birthweight, but the association with black carbon (BC) remains insufficiently explored. This study examined the association of gestational exposure to BC with birthweight outcomes. We included data on all singleton births in Denmark between 2004 and 2016 (n = 690,898). BC and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were estimated by high-resolution air pollution m

Growth and immune development—fundamental parts of any organism's ontogeny—depend critically on nutrient availability, particularly on essential amino acids that support protein synthesis and physiological processes. However, environmental variation can reduce prey diversity and nutrient quality, producing suboptimal diets that lack essential amino acids, potentially constraining development. In t

The Bcl-2 family of proteins governs mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization, a critical step in apoptosis that is dysfunctional in many cancers. Although cellular studies have long implicated direct interactions between the pore-forming apoptotic Bax protein and its opponent, the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein in apoptosis regulation, the underlying basic principles behind this control r

ObjectivesAutoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) are serological markers of celiac disease. The aim was to study the applicability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyping and tTG autoantibodies in the screening of celiac disease in a longitudinal birth cohort followed to age 15 years.MethodsIncluded were 13,860 HLA-DQ-genotyped children at birth and previously invited to a screen

ObjectivesOur aim was to study the association between residential land cover and greenness during childhood and risk of developing celiac disease (CeD).MethodsThe Celiac Prediction in Skåne study prospectively followed 5969 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyped children born 2001–2004 who were screened for CeD at ages 3, 9, and 15 years in Skåne, Sweden. Among these, 138 (2.3%) children only in

First sphere engineering has enabled potent artificial phosphatases, but strategies that generate enzyme-like second-sphere effects with simple disordered materials remain limited. Here we demonstrate that partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA80, 80% hydrolyzed) acts as a minimalist soft matter scaffold that amplifies the hydrolytic activity of hydrated Zn(II). Rather than functioning as

Lung transplantation (LTx) remains the only curative treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease, yet long-term outcomes remain inferior to those of other solid organ transplantations, with a 5-year survival below 70%. Major contributors to this limited outcome include primary graft dysfunction (PGD), the leading cause of early mortality, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and low u

BACKGROUND: Familial aggregation of stroke is well-documented, yet few studies have examined associations between stroke subtypes-particularly early-onset cryptogenic ischaemic stroke (eCIS)-and broader family history (FH) of cardiovascular disease. Such associations may provide insights into underlying etiologic mechanisms. METHODS: In this multicentre case-control study, we included eCIS patient

The efficiency and durability of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs) depend on optimizing porous media components such as gas diffusion and catalyst layers. In parallel, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) has emerged as a powerful tool to model fluid flow, mass transport, and multiphase interactions in complex porous structures. This works provides a concise overview of recent advances in apply

Decapping is a critical step in mRNA decay, but the mechanisms regulating human decapping enzyme DCP2 remain poorly understood. Here, we reconstitute the human decapping network using full-length recombinant proteins and compare it to the yeast system. Unlike in yeast, we find that the C-terminal region of human DCP2 is not autoinhibitory. RNA-binding residues of yeast Dcp2 are not conserved in th
