Vision provides important sensory input to postural control. Medical conditions and aging affect sensory—Central Nervous System (CNS) interactions, causing mismatches. Virtual Reality (VR) may address these by promoting recalibration from vision to other systems. Twenty-eight young adults (17 males, mean age 25.3 years) and 25 older adults (14 males, mean age 74.8 years) were included. Electromyography (EMG) was recorded while...

Novel tumor-on-a-chip approaches are increasingly used to investigate tumor progression and potential treatment options. To improve the effect of any cancer treatment it is important to have an in depth understanding of drug diffusion, penetration through the tumor extracellular matrix and cellular uptake. In this study, we have developed a miniaturized chip where drug diffusion and cellular uptake in different hydrogel enviro...

Climate change mitigation trade-offs between increasing harvests to exploit substitution effects versus accumulating forest carbon sequestration complicate recommendations for climate beneficial forest management. Here, a time dynamic assessment ascertains climate change mitigation potential from different rotation forest management alternatives across three Swedish regions integrating the forest decision support system Heurek...

Main conclusion Both mutant ert-c.1 and ert-d.7 carry T2-T3 translocations in the Ert-c gene. Principal coordinate analyses revealed the translocation types and translocation breakpoints. Mutant ert-d.7 is an Ert-c Ert-d double mutant. Abstract Mutations in the Ert-c and Ert-d loci are among the most common barley mutations affecting plant architecture. The mutants have various degrees of erect and compact spikes, often accomp...
