      Background - There is a worldwide shift towards increased consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) with concurrent rising prevalence of obesity. We examined the relationship between the consumption of UPF and weight gain and risk of obesity.<p> <p>Methods - This prospective cohort included 348 748 men and women aged 25–70 years. Participants were recruited between 1992 and 2000 from 9 European ...

      Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) is an international partnership of research institutions studying the environment and climate in and around Svalbard. SIOS is developing an efficient observing system, where researchers share technology, experience, and data, work together to close knowledge gaps, and decrease the environmental footprint of science. SIOS maintains and facilitates ...
    • Soluble collectin-12 mediates C3-independent docking of properdin that activates the alternative pathway of complement 

      Zhang, Jie; Song, Lihong; Pedersen, Dennis V.; Li, Anna; Lambris, John D.; Andersen, Gregers Rom; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Ma, Ying Jie; Garred, Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-10)
      Properdin stabilizes the alternative C3 convertase (C3bBb), whereas its role as pattern-recognition molecule mediating complement activation is disputed for decades. Previously, we have found that soluble collectin-12 (sCL-12) synergizes complement alternative pathway (AP) activation. However, whether this observation is C3 dependent is unknown. By application of the C3-inhibitor Cp40, we found that ...
