1. Astrocytes, reactive gliosis and CNS regeneration
Abstract : The regenerative capacity in the adult central nervous system (CNS) is very limited, and the glial cells have been implicated in the inhibition of CNS regeneration. In essentially all CNS pathologies, astrocytes are activated and this process is known as reactive gliosis. READ MORE

2. Neruons; regulators of CNS inflammation
Abstract : Neurons have been neglected as cells with major immune regulatory function. Here, we present novel data demonstrating that neurons are highly immune competent and play crucial role in regulation of T cell response and CNS inflammation. READ MORE

3. Neural Stem and Progenitor Cells as a Tool for Tissue Regeneration
Abstract : Neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPC) can differentiate to neurons and glial cells. NSPC are easily propagated in vitro and are therefore an attractive tool for tissue regeneration. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause for death and disabilities. A fundamental problem following TBI is tissue loss. READ MORE

4. On optic nerve injury : experimental studies on axonal regeneration in the adult mammalian CNS
Abstract : Optic nerve injury may occur after a trauma to the head and in many cases it causes partial or total blindness. Today, these patients cannot be offered any specific treatment to restore visual function. READ MORE

5. Scarring and regeneration in the central nervous system
Abstract : In response to injury, tissues employ conserved reparative mechanisms to heal the damage and recover their function. The reparative success varies according to the organism, the tissue or organ, and the age of the specimen. The reparative response occurs through two separate but overlapping processes: wound healing and regeneration. READ MORE
