How warm Gulf Stream water sustains a cold underwater waterfall
(Journal article, 2022)The most famous ocean current, the Gulf Stream, is part of a large system of currents that brings warm water from Florida to Europe. It is a main reason for northwestern Europe’s mild climate. What happens to the warm water ... -
How well can near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) measure sediment organic matter in multiple lakes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Loss-on-ignition (LOI) is the most widely used measure of organic matter in lake sediments, a variable related to both climate and land-use change. The main drawback for conventional measurement methods is the processing ... -
How well did Norwegian general practice prepare to address the COVID-19 pandemic?
(Journal article, 2020)Objectives We aimed to describe the quality improvement measures made by Norwegian general practice (GP) during the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluate the differences in quality improvements based on region and assess the ... -
How ‘should’ the majority group acculturate? Acculturation expectations and their correlates among minority- and majority-group members
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Do minority-group members welcome or reject that majority-group members adopt other cultures? Acculturation is commonly defined as a process of mutual accommodation. Yet, the acculturation of majority-group members has ... -
How, not if, is the question mycologists should be asking about DNA-based typification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fungal metabarcoding of substrates such as soil, wood, and water is uncovering an unprecedented number of fungal species that do not seem to produce tangible morphological structures and that defy our best attempts at ... -
HPV self-sampling among long-term non-attenders to cervical cancer screening in Norway: a pragmatic randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Cervical cancer screening participation is suboptimal in most settings. We assessed whether human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling may increase screening participation among long-term non-attenders in Norway. ... -
HSF1 Can Prevent Inflammation following Heat Shock by Inhibiting the Excessive Activation of the ATF3 and JUN&FOS Genes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), a transcription factor frequently overexpressed in cancer, is activated by proteotoxic agents and participates in the regulation of cellular stress response. To investigate how HSF1 level affects ... -
HSP27 Expression as a Novel Predictive Biomarker for Bevacizumab: is it Cost Effective?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Despite the extensive use of bevacizumab in a range of oncology indications, the US FDA revoked its approval for breast cancers, and multiple negative trials in several solid malignancies have been reported, ... -
Huanlian, or changing faces: Deepfakes on Chinese digital media platforms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In China, deepfakes are commonly known as huanlian, which literally means “changing faces.” Huanlian content, including face-swapped images and video reenactments, has been circulating in China since at least 2018, at first ... -
Human blood serum proteome changes after 6 hours of sleep deprivation at night
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background The aim of this study was to discover significantly changed proteins in human blood serum after loss of 6 h sleep at night. Furthermore, to reveal affected biological process- and molecular function categories ... -
The human dimension of biodiversity changes on islands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Islands are among the last regions on Earth settled and transformed by human activities, and they provide replicated model systems for analysis of how people affect ecological functions. By analyzing 27 representative ... -
Human footprints provide snapshot of last interglacial ecology in the Arabian interior
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The nature of human dispersals out of Africa has remained elusive because of the poor resolution of paleoecological data in direct association with remains of the earliest non-African people. Here, we report hominin and ... -
Human gain-of-function variants in HNF1A confer protection from diabetes but independently increase hepatic secretion of atherogenic lipoproteins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Loss-of-function mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1A (HNF1A) are known to cause rare forms of diabetes and alter hepatic physiology through unclear mechanisms. In the general population, 1:100 individuals carry a ... -
Human gingival epithelial cells stimulate proliferation, migration, and tube formation of lymphatic endothelial cells in vitro
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the response of gingival epithelial cells to microbial and inflammatory signals. Background The gingival epithelial barrier provides the first line of defense and ... -
Human intracranial pulsatility during the cardiac cycle: a computational modelling framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Today’s availability of medical imaging and computational resources set the scene for high-fidelity computational modelling of brain biomechanics. The brain and its environment feature a dynamic and complex ... -
A human iPSC-astroglia neurodevelopmental model reveals divergent transcriptomic patterns in schizophrenia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)While neurodevelopmental abnormalities have been associated with schizophrenia (SCZ), the role of astroglia in disease pathophysiology remains poorly understood. In the present study, we used a human induced pluripotent ... -
Human Leukocyte Antigen alleles associated with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The etiology and pathogenesis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) are unknown, and autoimmunity is one of many proposed underlying mechanisms. Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) associations are ... -
