Novel intranasal phage-CaEDTA-ceftazidime/avibactam triple combination therapy demonstrates remarkable efficacy in treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Given the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, alternative treatments are needed. Anti-pseudomonal phage therapy shows promise, but its clinical application is limited due to the development ... -
Novel loci associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are revealed by leveraging polygenic overlap with educational attainment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)Objective Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common and highly heritable psychiatric condition. By exploiting the reported relationship between ADHD and educational attainment (EA), we aimed to improve ... -
Novel loci for childhood body mass index and shared heritability with adult cardiometabolic traits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The genetic background of childhood body mass index (BMI), and the extent to which the well-known associations of childhood BMI with adult diseases are explained by shared genetic factors, are largely unknown. We performed ... -
Novel method for isolating untouched rat natural killer cells with higher purity compared with positive selection and fluorescenceactivated cell sorting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11)Natural killer (NK) cells are important effectors of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Although human and mouse NK cells are extensively characterized, much less is known about the rat cells, partly because of the ... -
Novel Methods and Sources for Regeneration of Oral Mucosa
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-16)Background: Common clinical approaches for replacing damaged oral mucosa are represented by autologous skin grafts which have numerous shortcomings and pose serious post-surgical morbidity. Cultured oral mucosal sheets ... -
The novel microRNAs hsa-miR-nov7 and hsamiR- nov3 are over-expressed in locally advanced breast cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)miRNAs are an important class of small non-coding RNAs, which play a versatile role in gene regulation at the post-transcriptional level. Expression of miRNAs is often deregulated in human cancers. We analyzed small RNA ... -
Novel microscopy-based screening method reveals regulators of contact-dependent intercellular transfer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-14)Contact-dependent intercellular transfer (codeIT) of cellular constituents can have functional consequences for recipient cells, such as enhanced survival and drug resistance. Pathogenic viruses, prions and bacteria can ... -
A novel MRI index for paraspinal muscle fatty infiltration: reliability and relation to pain and disability in lumbar spinal stenosis: results from a multicentre study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Fatty infiltration of the paraspinal muscles may play a role in pain and disability in lumbar spinal stenosis. We assessed the reliability and association with clinical symptoms of a method for assessing fatty ... -
A novel NAA10 p.(R83H) variant with impaired acetyltransferase activity identified in two boys with ID and microcephaly
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-07)Background N-terminal acetylation is a common protein modification in human cells and is catalysed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), mostly cotranslationally. The NAA10-NAA15 (NatA) protein complex is the major NAT, ... -
Novel Nanoparticulate and Ionic Titanium Antigens for Hypersensitivity Testing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-06)Titanium is used in a wide variety of materials ranging from medical devices to materials used in everyday life. Adverse biological reactions that could occur in patients, consumers, and workers should be monitored and ... -
A novel nanoprobe for multimodal imaging is effectively incorporated into human melanoma metastatic cell lines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-08)To facilitate efficient drug delivery to tumor tissue, several nanomaterials have been designed, with combined diagnostic and therapeutic properties. In this work, we carried out fundamental in vitro and in vivo experiments ... -
Novel neonatal simulator provides high-fidelity ventilation training comparable to real-life newborn ventilation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Face mask ventilation of apnoeic neonates is an essential skill. However, many non-paediatric healthcare personnel (HCP) in high-resource childbirth facilities receive little hands-on real-life practice. Simulation training ... -
