1. Offshore deployments of marine energy converters
Sammanfattning : The depletion warning of non-renewable resources, such as gas, coal and oil, and the imminent effects of climate change turned the attention to clean and fossil fuel-free generated electricity. University research groups worldwide are studying solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and ocean energy harvesting. LÄS MER
2. Opportunities and barriers for how private governance cancontribute towards sustainable fisheries : -A case study of Fishery Improvement Projects
Sammanfattning : Environmental governance approaches increasingly include non-state actors such as industry and NGOs to promote and implement voluntary private sustainability standards. This type of private governance is particularly evident within the fisheries sector. LÄS MER
3. Modular Enzyme-Responsive Polysaccharide-Based Hydrogels for Biofabrication
Sammanfattning : Engineered human tissue and disease models can decrease the cost and time of developing new drugs and treatments, facilitate personalized medicine, and eliminate the need for animal models that poorly represent the human body and are ethically problematic. However, the current conventional cell expansion methods using 2D culture flasks cannot enable the development of such complex multi-cellular 3D models. LÄS MER
4. Norovirus and rotavirus susceptibility : studies from a Nicaraguan birth cohort
Sammanfattning : Norovirus and rotavirus are major causes of pediatric acute gastroenteritis (AGE). It is estimated that norovirus is responsible for ~20% of all diarrheal diseases in children worldwide and causes approximately 200,000 deaths each year, mostly in young children and the elderly.

5. Enhancing the therapeutic effect of biological drugs with protein engineering : Focusing on pre-clinical Alzheimer’s disease therapy
Sammanfattning : Aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) is one of the main pathological hallmarks in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The soluble Aβ aggregates (oligomers and protofibrils) have shown to be the most harmful species. Hence, targeting these aggregates can be of therapeutic potential. LÄS MER
