Hallmark Molecular and Pathological Features of POLG Disease are Recapitulated in Cerebral Organoids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In this research, a 3D brain organoid model is developed to study POLG-related encephalopathy, a mitochondrial disease stemming from POLG mutations. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from patients with these ... -
Hallucinating schizophrenia patients have longer left arcuate fasciculus fiber tracks: a DTI tractography study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The arcuate fasciculus (AF) has been implicated in the pathology behind schizophrenia and auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). White matter tracts forming the arcuate fasciculus can be quantified and visualized using ... -
Hallucinations in acutely admitted patients with psychosis, and effectiveness of risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and ziprasidone: a pragmatic, randomized study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09-30)Background Hallucinations are prevalent in schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders and may have severe consequences for the affected patients. Antipsychotic drug trials that specifically address the anti-hallucinatory ... -
HAMLET forms annular oligomers when deposited with phoshpolipid monolayers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04)Recently, the anticancer activity of human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) has been linked to its increased membrane affinity in vitro, at neutral pH, and ability to cause leakage relative to the inactive ... -
HAMLET interacts with lipid membranes and perturbs their structure and integrity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-01-23)Background Cell membrane interactions rely on lipid bilayer constituents and molecules inserted within the membrane, including specific receptors. HAMLET (human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a tumoricidal ... -
The hamster wheel: a case study on embodied narrative identity and overcoming severe obesity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Based in narrative phenomenology, this article describes an example of how lived time, self and bodily engagement with the social world intertwine, and how our sense of self develops. We explore this through the life story ... -
Hand-arm vibration exposure in rock drill workers. A comparison between measurements with hand-attached and tool-attached accelerometers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives To assess the hazard of tool vibrations, we need valid exposure measurements. The use of hand-attached accelerometers (vibration sensors) to measure hand-arm vibrations (HAVs) has become a popular approach. ... -
