The rapid digitalisation has transformed how individuals participate in society. In Sweden, one of Europe’s most digitalised nations, being able to participate digitally is essential for societal integration. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of older adults with impairment in Sweden with regard to their participation in the digital society. This study draws on data from the cro

Despite advances in understanding the mechanisms, risk factors and treatment strategies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), no approved therapies exist to prevent or delay onset in at-risk individuals or those with elevated biomarkers who do not yet show symptoms. Multiple candidate interventions are now being evaluated in clinical trials in these settings, raising key questions around which populations

When the United Kingdom and Mauritius signed a historic treaty in May 2025 transferring sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago, the headlines proclaimed a long-overdue moment of decolonisation. After decades of legal contestation, international pressure, and a landmark advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice, a colonial wrong had finally been righted. Or so the story went.A close

Denna artikel analyserar Arbetsdomstolens användning av förhandsavgöranden från EU-domstolen under perioden 2020–2025 och diskuterar domstolens skyldighet enligt artikel 267 FEUF att hänskjuta EU-rättsliga tolkningsfrågor till Luxemburg. Utgångspunkten är den återkommande kritiken mot svenska domstolars, och särskilt Arbetsdomstolens, restriktiva hållning till förhandsavgöranden. Författarna argum

Purpose: Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers have previously been able to predict low visual acuity (VA). The purpose of this study was to identify other OCT predictors for a final VA ≤35 and risk factors for macular atrophy (MA) in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Methods: This retrospective observational study included 107 treatment naïve nAMD eyes who init

Effective disaster risk management in today's evolving risk landscape necessitates functional collaboration between land use planners and preparedness actors, such as fire and rescue services and crisis management organisations. This study investigates barriers and enablers to such collaboration through a combined exploratory scoping study and empirical survey conducted in Sweden, revealing both c

Although there has been a considerable increase in the understanding of glioblastoma and investigations into the therapeutic utility of several novel putative active compounds, the prognosis of glioblastoma patients remains dismal. This paradox makes glioblastoma a unique disease, in which the availability of key molecular and biological insight does not translate into therapeutic discovery or imp

Background: Mistletoe extract is a widespread complementary therapy mainly used for quality-of-life improvement in cancer patients. Advanced pancreatic cancer is associated with poor quality of life and better therapies for symptomatic relief are highly needed. Aim: MISTRAL aimed to assess the impact of mistletoe extract on quality of life, body weight, observed costs and blood biomarkers in patie

Assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) generates unique optical properties through coupling of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of individual NPs. However, precisely controlling and monitoring how mesoscale assembly dictates final optical properties remain key challenges in designing advanced plasmonic materials. Here, we introduce "nanoplasmonic isosbestics" as optical descriptor

Although Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) is widely applied for ultrasensitive diagnostics and imaging, its potential is largely limited by the difficult preparation of SERS tags, typically metallic nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with Raman-active molecules (RRs), whose production often involves complex synthetic approaches, low colloidal stability and poor reproducibility. Here, we in

In the past decades, events occurring at the nano-bio interface (i.e., where engineered nanoparticles (NPs) meet biological interfaces such as biomembranes) have been intensively investigated, to address the cytotoxicity of nanomaterials and boost their clinical translation. In this field, lamellar synthetic model membranes have been instrumental to disentangle non-specific interactions between NP
