16. Hypoglycaemic neuropathy : Experimental studies in diabetic rats treated witn insulin implants
Abstract : Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes secondary complications such as peripheral neuropathy. it is generally believed that diabetic neuropathy is due to chronic hyperglycaemia. In order to understand the pathophysiology of diabetic neuropathy many workers have examined nerves from diabetic rats. READ MORE

17. Biophysical modelling in diffusion MRI: The role of tissue microstructure and water exchange
Abstract : Diffusion MRI is widely used to study brain structure in vivo. While this technique is often applied to investigations of brain connectivity, it can also be used to infer specific information about the tissue microstructure; for example, to estimate the axon diameter. READ MORE

18. Controlled axonal outgrowth and cell reactions to nanostructures
Abstract : The interface between living cells and artificial surfaces are highly relevant for biomedical applications such as implants and organized cell growth for tissue reconstruction as well as for basic science purposes. In the present thesis, we have studied axonal guidance on various nano-patterned surfaces such as polymethyl-meth-acrylate, porous silicon and on magnetically aligned Ni nanowires. READ MORE

19. A regeneration strategy for spinal cord injury
Abstract : A severe traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently leads to a devastating and permanent disability. Due to glial scarring and an inhibitory local environment, regrowth of disrupted axons in the injured spinal cord beyond a lesion is obstructed, thus preventing reconnection with neurons at the other side.

20. Experimental spinal cord injuries : a histopathological, neurological, and pharmacological study in the rat
Abstract : Photochemically-induced ischemic lesions and compression-induced traumatic injuries in the mid-thoracic spinal cord were studied in female rats. The histopathological development of the injuries was found to be similar to that described in other experimental spinal cord injury models and in human post-mortem material. READ MORE
