2. 1. Transcalar Design : biological principles in architecture through computational design and additive fabrication

   Author : Ana Goidea; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; architecture; additive manufacturing 3D printing ; additive manufacturing; biotechnology; Biofabrication; biodesign; generative design;

   Abstract : Architecture is currently facing a period of transformational change which is driven by an increasing awareness of sustainability imperatives combined with technological advancements in the form of digitalisation of design and fabrication processes. These issues both introduce new layers of complexity and necessitate strategies to navigate them. READ MORE

4. 2. Structural studies of R2 and R2–like proteins with a heterodinuclear Mn/Fe cofactor and enzymes involved in Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipid metabolism

   Author : Charlotta Selina Andersson; Martin Högbom; Brian Fox; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Abstract : Tuberculosis is a notorious disease responsible for the deaths of 1.4 million people worldwide. A third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium causing the disease. READ MORE

5. 3. Genomic studies of mating system variation in flowering plants

   Author : Juanita Gutiérrez-Valencia; Tanja Slotte; Magne Friberg; Mario Vallejo-Marín; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mating system evolution; cross- and self-fertilization; distyly; supergenes; complex phenotypic polymorphism; convergent evolution; homostyly; loss-of-function mutation; intrasexual competition; pollen; purifying selection; Linum; Arabis alpina; Ecology and Evolution; ekologi och evolution;

   Abstract : The striking diversity of reproductive strategies that flowering plants exhibit remains one of the most intriguing conundrums in evolutionary biology. Pollination-related traits and mating system strategies have a major impact on the processes shaping plant evolution through their effects on genetic diversity and selection. READ MORE

6. 4. Aquaporins in Infection and Inflammation

   Author : Angelika Holm; Elena Vikström; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Vesa Loitto; Jonas Wetterö; Mikael Rhen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The ability of eukaryotic cells to change their shape and to migrate directionally is highly dependent on active volume regulation in cells building up tissues as well as in individual cells. Transmembrane fluxes of water via specialized water channels, called aquaporins (AQPs), facilitate the changes of volume and shape, which additionally require a complex interplay between the plasma membrane and the cytoskeleton.

7. 5. Multiplexed absolute quantification of blood plasma proteins using targeted proteomics

   Author : David Kotol; Mathias Uhlén; Edfors Fredrik; Roman Zubarev; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mass spectrometry; targeted proteomics; stable isotope standards; recombinant protein standards; absolute quantification; blood plasma; multiplex analysis; plasma profiling; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Abstract : Proteins are the molecular building blocks of all living organisms. They are the functioning actors in metabolism and communication, and they give specific architecture and purpose to all tissues. Their abundance is dynamic and can be interpreted and associated to different physiological states or diseases. READ MORE
