The role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in mediating drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide, as it is characterized by a high chemo-resistance.The main risk factor for HCC is liver cirrh...
HyPrecip: Hyper-resolution multi-dimensional precipitation information for analysis and modelling: urban and rural applications
Hyper-resolution spatial and temporal precipitation information is essential in many unresolved hydro-environmental research problems.Examples are scale problems in regional to loc...
Understanding the microenvironmental landscape of brain malignancies, and exploring novel candidate genes
Brain tumors can be viewed as “wounds that can’t stop the healing process”, and therefore, comparison between neuro-inflammation and cancer may suggest how the normally immune-supp...
Screening for Sustainability: Implementing the European Green Deal through the EU Taxonomy Regulation
The key question addressed by this project is: how can international law contribute to the implementation of the European Green Deal and its screening of sustainable economic activ...
Interacting threats to Swedish salmonids: temperature, dams and an emerging disease
Infectious agents play a major role in ecosystem functioning but knowledge on their interactive effects with climate change and habitat fragmentation is currently very limited.This...
Functional characterization and targeting of the neuroblastoma stem cell
