  2. 6. SOD1 Aggregation : Relevance of thermodynamic stability

    Author : Lisa Lang; Mikael Oliveberg; Michele Vendruscolo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Aggregation; misfolding; Superoxide dismutase SOD1 ; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS ; unfolding; thermodynamic stability; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting the upper and lower motor neurons causing muscle atrophy and paralysis followed by death. Aggregates containing superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are found as pathological hallmark in diseased ALS patients. READ MORE

  5. 8. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 : an unfolding chaperone regulating lipoprotein lipase activity

    Author : Valentina Sukonina; Gunilla Olivecrona; Lena Kjellen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipoprotein lipase; angiopoietin-like protein 4; protein folding; human adipose tissue; macrophages; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta PPARδ ; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the main enzyme hydrolyzing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in plasma. Proteoglycan-bound LPL on the vascular endothelium represent the functional pool of active enzyme. LPL is regulated in a tissue specific manner according to metabolic demands. READ MORE

  6. 9. Consumption and Practice : Unfolding Consumptive Moments and the Entanglement with Productive Aspects

    Author : Benjamin Hartmann; Jacob Östberg; Dannie Kjeldgaard; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates consumption through a practice-theoretical perspective. Practices are routinized sets of human activity involving doings, meanings, and objects. Previous work has suggested conceiving of consumption as moments in practices. READ MORE

  7. 10. The Land of the Magical Maya : Colonial Legacies, Urbanization, and the Unfolding of Global Capitalism

    Author : Claudia Fonseca Alfaro; Stefan Kipfer; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : Postcolonial Studies; Lefebvre; Global South; Critical Urban Theory; Maquiladoras; Coloniality;

    Abstract : The land of the Magical Maya is a mythical region in the south of Mexico where there are enigmatic creatures such as cosmic Indios, vultures, ghosts, white elephants, pineapples, swallows, and flamingos; and wondrous places like cenotes, pyramids, blue moons, old frontiers, new frontiers, and paradise-Zones. In the 1980s, henequen, the agro-based industry that had sustained Yucatán since the 19th century, was close to collapsing. READ MORE
