1. On Nogo signaling regulation
Abstract : As neuronal development enters its final stages, axon growth becomes restricted. This lack of regenerative capacity is partly due to the non-permissive environment of growth inhibitory proteins. Three such proteins, Nogo, OMgp and MAG bind to the same receptor, the Nogo receptor (NgR) and induce growth cone collapse and axon growth inhibition. READ MORE

2. Plasticity and Inflammation following Traumatic Brain Injury
Abstract : Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) mainly affects young persons in traffic accidents and the elderly in fall accidents. Improvements in the clinical management have significantly improved the outcome following TBI but survivors still suffer from depression, memory problems, personality changes, epilepsy and fatigue.

3. On nogo receptors, plasticity and lasting memories
Abstract : The central nervous system has very limited ability to repair itself after injury but has been shown to exhibit remarkable experience-driven structural plasticity at the synaptic level. These changes correlate strongly with behavioral performance and are thought to underlie learning and memory. READ MORE

4. Regulations of neuronal plasticity by the Nogo system
Abstract : Our brain has a lifelong capacity to create new memories, to learn and to adapt. This is due to the ability of neurons to modify their signaling depending on the situation to which the nervous system is exposed. The neurons of the CNS have despite this plasticity, a very limited ability to grow and recover if damaged. READ MORE

5. Spinal cord injury : mechanical and molecular aspects
Abstract : Traumatic spinal cord injury leads to full or partial paralysis and loss of sensation below the level of injury. The annual incidence of spinal cord injury in the United States is 3-5 per 100,000 and in Sweden is 1.5-2 per 100,000. This translates to 11,000 new cases of traumatic spinal cord injury in the US and 150 in Sweden each year. READ MORE
