2. 1. Stem cell function and organ development : analysis of Lhx2 function in hematopoietic stem cells and eye development

   Author : Lina Dahl; Leif Carlsson; Jan-Ingvar Jönsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lhx2; hematopoietic system; hematopoietic stem cell; progenitor; embryonic stem cell; embryoid body; eye development; forebrain; eye field transcription factor; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; molecular medicine  genetics and pathology ;

   Abstract : When a multicellular organism suffers damages to tissues/organs it heals itself by either substituting the lost cellular matrix by scar formation or by regenerating the lost tissue. Regeneration likely occurs by a recapitulation of the developmental process that formed the organ. READ MORE

4. 2. Identification of stem cell factors - Novel protein-protein interactions and their functions

   Author : Helena Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; embryonic stem cells; Tpt1; Npm1; Ncl; Oct4; Sox2; Nanog; SAF-A; cell proliferation; transcriptional regulation;

   Abstract : Embryonic stem (ES) cells provide an unlimited source of cells potentially useful for regenerative medicine, however, prior to clinical implementation, additional basic research is needed. This thesis is focused upon different molecular aspects regarding ES cells, primarily by finding novel stem cell protein-protein interactions and their functions. READ MORE

5. 3. Neural Stem and Progenitor Cells : Cellular Responses to Known and Novel Factors

   Author : Jimmy Larsson; Karin Forsberg-Nilsson; Ola Hermanson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neural stem cell; differentiation; proliferation; migration; PDGF; SCF; NRBP2; medulloblastoma; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; Medicinsk biokemi;

   Abstract : Neural stem cell self-renewal and differentiation are tightly regulated events during CNS development, leading to cell division into new neural stem cells or the formation of neurons and glial cells. This thesis focuses on the cellular responses induced by known and novel factors in neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs). READ MORE

6. 4. Manipulating neural stem cells

   Author : Malin Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The stem cell field is a fairly young but fast growing scientific field. Our understanding of stem cells has changed tremendously over the last couple of decades. This in mainly due to the development of new techniques that has enabled us to study stem cells from a completely new perspective. READ MORE

7. 5. Neural stem cell engraftment : functional interactions, brain repair and gap junctions

   Author : Johan Jäderstad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Neural stem cell (NSC) engraftment therapies show increasing promise as potential cures for several of the diseases of the central nervous system. Traditionally, functional improvements after NSC engraftment have been attributed to replacement of lost neurons and astrocytes, remyelination and support of adjacent cells at risk. READ MORE
