Wilms Tumor suppressor protein (WT1) is a transcription factor that is involved in a variety of developmental functions during organ development. It is also implicated in the pathology of several different cancer forms. The protein contains four C(2)H(2)-type zinc fingers and it specifically binds GC-rich sequences in the promoter regions of its target genes, which are either up or down regulated.
A novel design approach to form macroporous gels is presented. Macroporous gels (MGs), known as cryogels(or gels prepared at subzero temperatures), were prepared inside a protective plastic core (so-called, housing), thus making them resistant to shear forces at stirring. MGs are highly elastic polymeric materials with pore sizes up to 100 mu m and spongelike morphology. Design of MGs inside a pro
The fossil polyclinic family Polychaeturidae is considered as monogeneric and comprises four species of the genus Pteropelta. Pteropelta, originally established on isolated scolecodonts (the carriers), is revised and the apparatus-based Polychaetura is shown to be a junior synonym of Pteropelta. In addition to Pteropelta gladiata and Pteropelta kielanae. Pteropelta huberti sp. nov., and Pteropelta
We report the observation of anomalous bands in graphite valence band structure in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments. The photon energy dependence of these bands shows a constant kinetic energy nature. Our results are supported by the very low energy electron diffraction data reported on graphite surfaces which essentially map the unoccupied states representing the phot
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi är omringade av olika mikrorganismer såsom bakterier och svampar. Bakterier kan leva från de mest ogästvänliga miljöer som arktisk is och varma källor på havsbotten till varje människas hud och mag- tarmkanal. Bakterier som bor på och inuti oss spelar en stor roll i vårt välbefinnande. De hjälper oss att smälta maten och hindrar andra mer farliga bakterier från att bAssociation to specific host tissue structures allows pathogenic bacteria to establish an infection and facilitates the spread within its host. Interactions between bacterial surface structures and human proteins might determine the outcome of the infection. Streptococcus pyogenes (S. pyogenes), is a human pathogen mostly causing localized infections of the skin and respiratory tract, but it is al
Background Patients with chromosome 5 abnormalities and high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia have a poor outcome. We hypothesized that increasing doses of lenalidomide may benefit this group of patients by inhibiting the tumor clone, as assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization for del(5q31). Design and Methods Twenty-eight patients at diagnosis or with relapsed disea
A search is presented for production of a heavy up-type quark (t') together with its antiparticle, assuming a significant branching ratio for subsequent decay into a W boson and a b quark. The search is based on 4.7 fb(-1) of pp collisions root s = 7 TeV recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Data are analyzed in the lepton + jets final state, characterized by
Prominent in the sky, but not visible to humans, is a pattern of polarized skylight formed around both the Sun and the Moon. Dung beetles are, at present, the only animal group known to use the much dimmer polarization pattern formed around the Moon as a compass cue for maintaining travel direction. However, the Moon is not visible every night and the intensity of the celestial polarization patter
Numerous studies have investigated causes of warfarin dose variability in adults, whereas studies in children are limited both in numbers and size. Mechanism-based population modelling provides an opportunity to condense and propagate prior knowledge from one population to another. The main objectives with this study were to evaluate the predictive performance of a theoretically bridged adult warf
A spatio-temporal model is constructed to interpolate yearly precipitation data from 1982 to 1996 over the African Sahel. The precipitation data used in the analysis comes from the Global Historical Climatology Network. The spatio-temporal model is based on a Gaussian Markov random field approach with AR(1)-dependence in time and a spatial component modeled using an approximation of a field withMa

He-3 was a popular material in neutrons detectors until its availability dropped drastically in 2008. The development of techniques based on alternative convertors is now of high priority for neutron research institutes. Thin films of B-10 or (B4C)-B-10 have been used in gas proportional counters to detect neutrons, but until now, only for small or medium sensitive area. We present here the multi-
Recent matrix isolation (p-H-2, Ne, Ar, Kr) studies of water clusters made in Lund are reviewed. Gas phase positions of water cluster bands are estimated from matrix data. Intermolecular spectra of several isotopomers of the water dimer have been obtained, and approximate band strengths have been measured. Acceptor switching of the water dimer has been observed in matrices. A few intermolecular vi
Emerging multiculturalism in China's metropolitan areas implies people's frequent engagement in intercultural contacts and, therefore, creates a need for a mutual acculturation between the migrants and the host society. This research aimed to contribute to the study of immigrant adjustment in China by exploring the patterns of dietary acculturation among Russian immigrants residing in Beijing. The
Gene expression profiling (GEP) has significantly contributed to the elucidation of the molecular heterogeneity of multiple myeloma plasma cells (MMPC) and only recently it has been recommended for risk stratification. Prior to GEP MMPC need to be enriched resulting in an inability to immediately freeze bone marrow aspirates or use RNA stabilization reagents. As a result in multi-center MM trials
We calculate spin relaxation times due to spin-orbit-mediated electron-phonon interactions for experimentally accessible semiconductor quantum ring and dot architectures. We elucidate the differences between the two systems due to different confinement. The estimated relaxation times (at B = 1 T) are in the range between a few milliseconds to a few seconds. This high stability of spin in a quantum
Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used to detect prostate cancer. The low positive predictive value of elevated PSA results in large numbers of unnecessary prostate biopsies. We set out to determine whether a multivariable model including four kallikrein forms ( total, free, and intact PSA, and human kallikrein 2 (hK2)) could predict prostate biopsy outcome in previously unscre
