2. 1. Ex‘PLA’ining the progression of pathological proteins in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases : see(d)ing is believing

   Author : Anish Behere; Joakim Bergström; Sara Ekmark-Lewén; Martin Ingelsson; Stina Syvänen; Hilal Lashuel; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Alpha synuclein; Tau; Proteoforms; Phosphorylation; Oligomers; Proximity Ligation Assay; sensitive detection of pathology; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; pS129; pS202 pT205; pT231; PFFs;

   Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the two most common forms of neurodegenerative disorders affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. The underlying neuropathological processes leading to AD and PD share many similarities, i.e. aberrant protein aggregation of tau and alpha-synuclein (αSyn) in the brain. READ MORE

5. 3. A geophysical investigation of carbonate build-ups in the Baltic Basin using reflection seismic and well data

   Author : Tegan Levendal; Christopher Juhlin; Lars Nielsen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reflection seismic; Ordovician; Silurian; Carbonate mud mounds; Reefs; Gotland; Sweden; CAES; Seismic interpretation; OPAB dataset; 3D seismic; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

   Abstract : During the Late Ordovician, the region around Gotland was part of a shallow epicratonic basin in the southern subtropics. Low latitudes, relatively warm sea temperatures and the presence of a shallow marine environment promoted algae to flourish and diverse carbonate build-ups such as carbonate mounds and reefs developed on the southern margin of Baltica.
