2. 1. Development of Gene Therapy for Hematopoietic Stem Cells using Lentiviral Vectors

   Author : Niels-Bjarne Woods; Andreas Ooka; Stefan Karlsson; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; embryonic stem cell; Hematopoietic stem cell; lentiviral vector; transduction efficiency; transgene expression; multiple vector copy integration; insertional mutagenesis; NOD SCID mouse; cytogenetics; Genetics; extracellulära vätskor; extracellular fluids; cytogenetik; Genetik; Haematology; Hematologi; Lentivirus : genetics; Human; Genetic Vectors; Hematopoietic Stem Cells : metabolism; Animal; Gene Therapy; Leukemia : therapy; Leukemia : metabolism;

   Abstract : Hematopoietic stem cells are an ideal target for genetic manipulation for the purpose of curing hematological disorders as they have the ability to develop into all blood lineages and to self-renew. In this study we demonstrate that lentiviral vectors, based on HIV-1, can efficiently transfer genes into human hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells as assessed following stem cell transplantation in immune compromised mice.

4. 2. Stem cells for cardiac regeneration

   Author : Ivana Bulatović; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Recent studies have demonstrated a turnover of cardiomyocytes throughout the adult life. Whether this regenerative potential is due to proliferation and differentiation of resident stem cells or to the dedifferentiation of adult cardiomyocytes remains unclear. READ MORE

5. 3. RNA modifications and post-transcriptional control in cancer and stem cells

   Author : Giulia Beneventi; Avdelningen för molekylär hematologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; RNA modifications; Pseudouridine; 2’-O-methylation; Splicing; Translation; non-coding RNAs; Cancer; Stem cells; Differentiation; Stress response;

   Abstract : Splicing and translation are two of the key steps of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Their tight regulation is essential for development, whereas their deregulation is involved in cancer pathogenesis. Nevertheless, many of the molecular mechanisms controlling these processes are still unknown. READ MORE

6. 4. Neural stam cells, TLX, and Neuroblastoma

   Author : Ravi Kanth Rao Saini; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroblastoma; TLX; Neural Stem Cells; Dedifferentiation; DISC-1; DNA-PKcs;

   Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most commonly diagnosed extracranial tumors in children below five years of age. Moreover, NB accounts for almost 12-15% of all childhood cancer related fatalities. To date, the origin of NB has been linked to the neural crest derived sympathoadrenal progenitor cells. READ MORE

7. 5. Stem cell-based models to study cellular alterations in Parkinson’s Disease

   Author : Margarita Chumarina; Stamcellslaboratoriet för sjukdomsmodellering i det centrala nervsystemet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson s disease; stem cells; IPSCs; dopaminergic neurons; oligodendrocytes; omics;

   Abstract : Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative movement disorder. Despite investigative efforts into the pathogenesis of the disease, the aetiology and mechanism of PD remains unknown, with multiple factors and cellular pathways known to play a part. READ MORE
