Forming Successful Unconventional Collaborations

Careers and Academic Research Collaborations: an Inductive Process Framework for Understand- Ing Successful Collaborations

Producing Synergy in Collaborations: A Successful Hospital Innovation

Patient malnutrition in hospitals is common and impedes recovery. Part of the problem is that hospitals are organised around diagnosis and treatment, not for good nutrition. This paper describes a Norwegian hospital’s nutrition innovation that enhanced collaboration across and within the hospital hierarchy. The Bergen Model of Collaborative Functioning was the analysis framework for the study r...

Secure and Conditional Resource Coordination for Successful Collaborations

Successful completion of collaborations is necessary for collaborating participants to achieve their prescribed collaboration purposes. In this paper, we address the problem of successful completion of collaborations under a new model, called collaborative resource model. This model is graph-based, allowing participants to describe different ways to contribute and require resources for collabor...

Self-Organizing Into Winning Teams: Understanding the Mechanisms That Drive Successful Collaborations

Contemporary teams are self-assembling with increasing frequency, meaning the component members are choosing to join forces with some degree of agency rather than being assigned to work with one another. However, the majority of the teams literature up until this point has focused on randomly assigned or staffed teams. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to investigate how people do form...

Unconventional miR-122 binding stabilizes the HCV genome by forming a trimolecular RNA structure

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) typically downregulate protein expression from target mRNAs through limited base-pairing interactions between the 5' 'seed' region of the miRNA and the mRNA 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). In contrast to this established mode of action, the liver-specific human miR-122 binds at two sites within the hepatitis C viral (HCV) 5'UTR, leading to increased production of infectious v...
