Multimodal classification of molecular subtypes in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-08)Genomic analyses have redefined the molecular subgrouping of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Molecular subgroups guide risk-stratification and targeted therapies, but outcomes of recently identified subtypes are often unclear, owing to limited cases with comprehensive profiling and cross-protocol studies. We developed a machine learning tool (ALLIUM) for the molecular subclassification ... -
Storytelling in Focus Group Discussions: A Narrative Approach to Phenomena With Temporal Dimensions in Medical Education Research
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-09)People can express experiences, opinions, and perspectives in stories. In a story, the experiences can be relived and discovered independently of time and place. In medical education, it is a fundamental premise that time progresses, and it is within this temporal space that students learn, acquire competencies, and form identity. It is also within this space that much qualitative research is ... -
pH-dependent structural transitions in cationic ionizable lipid mesophases are critical for lipid nanoparticle function
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-06)Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are advanced core-shell particles for messenger RNA (mRNA) based therapies that are made of polyethylene glycol (PEG) lipid, distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC), cationic ionizable lipid (CIL), cholesterol (chol), and mRNA. Yet the mechanism of pH-dependent response that is believed to cause endosomal release of LNPs is not well understood. Here, we show that eGFP (enhanced ... -
Energetics, energy availability and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) in female football players - Methodological perspectives and research implications
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-01-18)<p><i>Background:</i> For athletes, it is imperative that energy intake adequately addresses the total energy requirements inherent to their specific sport. Low energy availability, which is the failure to provide the body with adequate energy to sustain physiological homeostasis, may potentially result in Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). This is a syndrome that can have detrimental health ... -

Identification of a regulatory pathway governing TRAF1 via an arthritis-associated non-coding variant
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-16)TRAF1/C5 was among the first loci shown to confer risk for inflammatory arthritis in the absence of an associated coding variant, but its genetic mechanism remains undefined. Using Immunochip data from 3,939 patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and 14,412 control individuals, we identified 132 plausible common non-coding variants, reduced serially by single-nucleotide polymorphism ... -

The Computed Sinusoid
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-11)Hepatic sinusoids are lined with thin endothelial cells with transcellular pores, termed fenestrations. These fenestrations are open channels that connect the sinusoidal lumen to the underlying Space of Disse (SoD) and the hepatocytes of the liver parenchyma. Fenestrations range from 0.05 to 0.35 µm in diameter and cover 5–15% of the sinusoidal endothelial surface area, depending on their location ... -
Enterococcal Membrane Vesicles as Vaccine Candidates
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-07)Enterococcus faecium is a leading cause of nosocomial infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
