  2. 1. Generation of Retinal Neurons : Focus on the Proliferation and Differentiation of the Horizontal Cells and their Subtypes

    Author : Henrik Boije; Finn Hallböök; Paul Layer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; FoxN4; Ptf1a; PH3; G2-phase; Cell cycle arrest; Differentiation; Fate; Commitment; Neurogenesis; Follistatin; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : We have used the chicken retina as a model for investigating cell cycle regulation and cell fate commitment during central nervous system development. This thesis focuses on the characterization of and commitment to the horizontal cell fate in the retina. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterization of Retinal Progenitor Cells : Focus on Proliferation and the GABAA Receptor System

    Author : Henrik Ring; Finn Hallböök; Per Söderberg; Andras Simon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Regeneration; Proliferation; Neurotransmitters; Müller cells; Differentiation; Retinal repair; Neurogenesis; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : One strategy to repair an injured or degenerated retina is to stimulate the replacement of damaged or dead neurons with cells derived from endogenous stem- or progenitor cells. A successful strategy requires knowledge about how the proliferation and differentiation of the endogenous cells are regulated. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Heterogenic Final Cell Cycle of Retinal Horizontal Cells

    Author : Shahrzad Shirazi Fard; Finn Hallböök; Ulla Pirvola; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Apoptosis; Checkpoint; DNA damage; Differentiation; Heteroploid; Endoreplication; Proliferation; Tumor; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The cell cycle is a highly complex process that is under the control of several pathways.  Failure to regulate and/or complete the cell cycle often leads to cell cycle arrest, which may be followed by programmed cell death (apoptosis). One cell type that has a variety of unique cell cycle properties is the horizontal cell of the chicken retina. READ MORE
