The pluripotent rat islet tumor cell line MSL-G2 expresses primarily glucagon or cholecystokinin and not insulin in vitro but changes phenotype completely after prolonged in vivo cultivation to yield small-sized hypoglycemic tumors composed almost entirely of insulin-producing beta cells. When a genomic DNA fragment containing the coding and upstream regulatory regions of the human insulin gene wa

The limiting factor for quantitative histochemistry employing freeze-dried tissue sections is the ability to identify morphologic structures. Satisfactory staining of freeze-dried tissue specimens intended for further microanalysis was achieved by using isopentane solutions of free dye bases. The practical details of this rapid histologic control are outlined and its usefulness is illustrated by m

Yiddish language, literature, and culture often deal with Jewish ritual and practice. This is seen in the structure and vocabulary of the language itself and also through a variety of literary styles.

Both authors make use of ancient kingdoms and their aftermaths in constructing their fantasy worlds and the stories that takes place within them. There are however some differences in how they do it. Inspi

In the light of economic and financial crises, social innovations have been looked at and analysed from new point of views. This thesis has run an analysis of two social entrepreneurial organizations (SEOs) to shed light on how actors from vulnerable communities, like Rosengård and Persborg from the city of Malmö perceive complexities embedded in social innovations and institutional change. The an
