Antigenic diversity in pathogenic microbes can be a result of at least three different processes: diversifying selection by acquired immunity, host–pathogen coevolution and/or host specialization. Here, we investigate whether host specialization drives diversity at ospC (which encodes an immunodominant surface protein) in the tick-transmitted bacterium Borrelia afzelii. We determined prevalence an
Stability is a fundamental property affecting function, activity, and regulation of biomolecules. Stability changes are often found for mutated proteins involved in diseases. Stability predictors computationally predict protein-stability changes caused by mutations. We performed a systematic analysis of 11 online stability predictors' performances. These predictors are CUPSAT, Dmutant, FoldX, I-Mu
Current hemophilia B treatment guidelines recommend routine prophylaxis with factor IX (FIX) replacement products, tailored to maintain plasma activity at levels that will prevent bleeds. However, plasma FIX activity may not be the primary determinant or best indicator of hemostatic efficacy due to its extravascular distribution. FIX replacement therapy has evolved to include extended half-life (E
Mangroves provide numerous environmental benefits, such as carbon sequestration, water purification, climate change mitigation, and flood and Tsunami impact reduction. Despite these unique advantages, mangroves are threatened by the combined adverse impacts of human activities and climate change. Therefore, it is essential to implement reasonable practices to avoid further degradation of mangroves
Antibiotic resistance is currently an extensive medical challenge worldwide, with global numbers increasing steadily. Recent data have highlighted wastewater treatment plants as a reservoir of resistance genes. The impact of these findings for human health can best be summarized using a One Health concept. However, the molecular mechanisms impacting resistance spread have not been carefully evalua
Cykling är en viktig del av ett hållbart transportsystem. Det bidrar bl.a. till en bättre miljö och förbättrad folkhälsa. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vilka faktorer som kännetecknar en bra cykelstad, ur en infrastruktursynpunkt och vilka faktorer som kan leda till ökad cykling. I arbetet intervjuas representanter för kommunerna Lund, Malmö och Helsingborg om vilka infrastrukturella åtgärdeCycling is an important part of a sustainable transport system. It contributes among other things to a better environment and improved public health. The aim of this thesis is to investigate which factors characterize a good cycling city, from an infrastructural point of view, and which factors may lead to increased cycling. In the thesis, representatives of the municipalities of Lund, Malmö and H
While the so-called “end of public space” literature, focusing on encroachment of private interests and state surveillance, has contributed to critical thinking of access (or the lack thereof) to public space, and the loss of publicity of public space, the conceptual tools such literature offers to understand contestations in and over public space have remained underdeveloped or, at best, underexp
Accident prediction models are often used to predict the number of accidents on segments and at intersections in the road network. Most often the models are developed for a total number of crashes for the facility, or crashes by severity. However, the frequency and severity of crashes of different types can be expected to vary with regards to the underlying phenomena that cause them to occur. To b
Bio-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) serves as an important platform for several chemicals, among which 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has attracted considerable interest as a monomer for the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF), a potential alternative for fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This study is based on the HMF oxidizing activity shown by Mycobacterium sp. MS 16
In the broad field of biology, our researchers study everything from small cells to large ecosystems. Research projects include the forces of evolution, unsung heroes of the soil, how animals navigate and seeking answers to the mystery of ageing. Animals with unique abilitiesHow do birds, insects and some other animal groups manage to keep a straight course over long distances? The fascinating abi

Limiting climate Impact of plastics “Solutions to limit the climate impact of plastics” was the topic of the 2018 Climathon in Lund. The 24 hour hackathon gathered 54 participants and was thereby one of the larger among the 113 Climathons held simultaneous all around the world. Climathon in Lund was organised by a consortia of five very different organisations, Lunds Universitet, Lunds Kommun, Sys

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a key role in linking terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles. Most of the work on soil and water DOC has been conducted in temperate watersheds. There is still a gap in knowledge on DOC dynamics within the tropics. This study assesses water extractable organic carbon (WEOC) in topsoils and describes the relationship between WEOC and land use/land cover (LULC), s

Popular Abstract in Swedish Immunförsvaret har till uppgift att skydda kroppen mot främmande mikroorganismer såsom bakterier och virus. En rad olika celler, vävnader samt organ samarbetar för att utforma ett väl fungerande immunförsvar. Det är ytterst viktigt att immunförsvaret känner igen kroppsfrämmande ämnen (antigen), som till exempel bakterieceller, men också att det skiljer dessa från kroppsGeneration of long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells of high affinity takes place in germinal centers and depends on help from a specialized CD4+ T cell subset termed T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. These processes are crucial for long-term protection upon natural infection or in settings of vaccination, however they are also responsible for development of antibody-mediated autoimmune disease
