Simulating the physiological environment for kidney tubular crystallopathy in vitro utilizing uric acid.
(2022)Aberrant crystallization of uric acid (UA) in the kidney can cause an inflammatory re- sponse that is associated with the identification and progression of chronic kidney disease and end- stage renal failure. It had ... -
Testing the suitability of a structured substance database for pharmacovigilance purposes: an exploratory study about the role of structural alerts and reactive metabolites in drug toxicity
(2022)The GSRS database was developed by the Global Ingredient Archival System (GINAS) initiative and contains the molecular structure, classification information and metabolites of compounds used in human and animal medicinal, ... -
The HOPS Complex is Required for Matrix Degradation through Late Endosomal Recycling of MT1-MMP
(2022)MT1-MMP is a type I transmembrane proteinase that plays a key role in cancer metastasis through degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and activation of other proteases. Recycling of MT1-MMP is essential for its ... -
Reconstructing oceanographic changes and the evolution of the "cold water route" through glacial-interglacial variability of MIS 12-11 in the Falkland Region, Southern Atlantic Ocean
(2022)The nature of palaeoceanographic changes has been reconstructed at the Falkland region (Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean) during the glacial-interglacial transition of MIS 12-11 (~400,000 years ago). Organic proxies ... -

Adding wave energy to a model simulating salt marshes to study and visualize marsh protection against sediment erosion by placement of barriers.
(2022)Salt marshes are important ecosystems, providing important services to society. Many are however declining in size due to the impact of human activities in estuaries. One example of such an impact is a change in the balance ... -
Lysosome dynamics in neurons, maintaining cellular homeostasis
(2022)Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. They are characterised by a highly acidic lumen which contains hydrolases. They are mainly responsible for the degradation of macromolecules ... -
Triple Oxygen Isotope Composition of CO2: Analytical System Improvements and Seasonal Variability
(2022)The triple oxygen isotope composition (∆′17O) of troposphere CO2 is considered as a potential tracer for quantifying gross primary production (GPP) at an ecosystem scale. In this project, air samples from two different ... -
