  4. 17. Exploring Patient-Specific Cell Replacement Therapy for Parkinson's Disease

    Author : Shelby Shrigley; Utvecklings- och regenerativ neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dopaminergic neurons; Parkinson s disease; cell replacement therapy; cellular reprogramming; alpha-synuclein;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects over six million people worldwide and is characterised by the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra, accumulation of pathological alpha-synuclein (αSyn), and inflammation in the brain. This leads to motor impairments including rigidity, akinesia, bradykinesia, resting tremor, and postural instability. READ MORE

  5. 18. Heterogeneity of human metabolism in health and disease: a modelling perspective

    Author : Pouyan Ghaffari Nouran; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer metabolism; fatty acid metabolism; genome-scale metabolic models; community modeling; heterogeneity; lung cancer; amino acids metabolism; gut microbiome;

    Abstract : Metabolism is broadly defined as the sum of biochemical reactions within cells that are involved in maintaining the living state of the organism. Profound importance of metabolism comes from the fact that it is the sole source of energy that allows life to resist to be degraded into entropy. READ MORE

  6. 19. Neural Stem Cells - interaction with the brain and prospects for cell replacement therapy for Stroke

    Author : Emanuela Monni; Neural stamcellsbiologi och terapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neural stem cells; human; fetus; cortex; striatum; stroke; transplantation; inflammation; fusion; reprogramming; chimera; heterokaryon;

    Abstract : Stroke is an acute neurological condition and the leading cause of disability in adult humans. Treatments for efficient recovery are not available. The most common form of stroke results from the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, which causes loss of brain parenchyma and many types of neurons as well as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.

  7. 20. Generation of induced neurons via direct conversion in vivo and in vitro

    Author : Olof Torper; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cellular reprogramming; cell replacement therapies; induced dopaminergic neurons; in vivo reprogramming; Lentiviral vectors; AAV vectors;

    Abstract : Cellular reprogramming is when one cell is changed into another. This involves structural modifications on the DNA of a cell resulting in a transcriptional change. This occurs naturally during development when early pluripotent cells gradually differentiate into more specialized cells that finally result in a complete organism. READ MORE
