2. 1. Mechanisms controlling midbrain dopaminergic neuron development

   Author : Shanzheng Yang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons accounts for some of the main motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Efforts during the last decades have focused on understanding how mDA neurons are generated and maintained with the hope of developing novel stem cell-based replacement therapies. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular and cellular characterization of midbrain dopaminergic neuron development

   Author : Daniel Gyllborg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) development is a complex yet highly controlled mechanistic process that is conserved across species. The understanding of these molecular details can open windows to new avenues of therapeutic medicine. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a debilitating neurological disorder that to date has no cure or established cause. READ MORE

5. 3. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors controlling the differentiation of human midbrain progenitor cells

   Author : Nicolaj Christophersen; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; neurotrophic factors; Parkinson s disease; microarray; dopaminergic; Embryonic stem cells; neural stem cells;

   Abstract : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor deficits. Levodopa treatment provides marked symptomatic relief. However, within 5-10 years after the start of Levodopa treatment, most PD patients display a gradual loss of drug efficacy. READ MORE

6. 4. A long and winding road: Differentiating human embryonic stem cells into dopaminergic neurons

   Author : Oktar Guloglu; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipocyte; PA6; DZNEP; dopaminergic differentiation; embryonic stem cells;

   Abstract : Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Since the motor manifestations of the disease is associated with the loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, cell replacement therapy is a promising approach for treatment.

7. 5. Regulation of midbrain dopaminergic neuron development by Wnts, sFRPs and bHLH proteins

   Author : Julianna M V Kele-Olovsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. The main pathology is characterized by progressive degeneration of the dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra leading to loss of striatal dopamine innervation. The knowledge about the fundamental mechanisms behind the degenerative process has been limited. READ MORE
