    Abstract : This thesis work is divided in two parts. In the first part, I make use of the transgenic TRPV1-Cre mouse line as a tool to investigate the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA). READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulatory programs controlling profileration during Drosophila nervous system development

    Author : Erika Gunnar; Stefan Thor; Jan-Ingvar Jönsson; Udo Häcker; Linköpings universitet; []

    Abstract : The central nervous system (CNS) is the most complex organ in the body, responsible for complex functions, including thinking, reasoning and memory. The CNS contains cells of many different types, often generated in vast numbers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Long bone growth and evolution revealed by three-dimensional imaging

    Author : Jordi Estefa; Sophie Sanchez; Per Ahlberg; Holly Woodward; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 3D histology; hematopoiesis; humerus; tetrapods; Biologi; Biology;

    Abstract : Propagation phase-contrast synchrotron radiation microtomography is a non-destructive method used for studying histology in three dimensions (3D). Using it, the 3D organization of the diaphyseal cortical vascularization in the humerus of two seymouriamorphs was analyzed in this thesis. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Actin Filament System : Its Involvement in Cell Migration and Neurotransmitter Release

    Author : Anna-Karin Johnsson; Roger Karlsson; Stéphane Gasman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Actin; Profilin; Synaptotagmin; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The microfilament system consists of actin filaments as the major component and is regulated by a number of actin binding proteins. It is juxtaposed to the plasma membrane where it forms a dense cortical weave from where it pervades into the cell interior. READ MORE
