  2. 11. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor : expression patterns, neuronal transport, regulation, effects, and receptor dependence

    Author : Andreas C Tomac; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor GDNF ; neurturin NTN ; persephin PSP ; c Ret proto oncogene Ret ; GPI-linked receptors for the GDNF ligand family GFRas ; transforming growth factor-B TGFB ; Parkinson s disease PD ; dopaminergic DA neurons;

    Abstract : Background: The mammalian nervous system depends upon trophic proteins for survival, growth and adult maintenance. These trophic factors have also been considered as potential therapeutic agents for treating human neurodegenerative disorders. READ MORE

  4. 12. Murine plasmacytomagenesis : an experimental model of B-cell neoplasia

    Author : Santiago C Silva; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : mouse plasmacytomas; chromosomal translocation; chimeric mice; MYC-transgenic mice; ;

    Abstract : A chromosomal translocation which results in the illegitimate activation of the c-myc proto-oncogene by one of the three immunoglobulin (Ig) loci is invariably associated with human Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL), mouse plasmacytoma (MPC) and rat immunocytomas (RIC). In the MPC system a genetic predisposition linked to the BALB/c strain has been suggested. READ MORE

  5. 13. Valorisation of cereal by-products: a biorefinery approach

    Author : Reskandi C. Rudjito; Franscisco Vilaplana; Amparo Jimenez-Quero; Mirjam Kabel; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cereal by-products; arabinoxylan; ferulic acid; subcritical water extraction; enzymatic treatment; xylanases; prebiotics; Jordbruksbiprodukter; arabinoxylan; ferulsyra; subkritisk vattenextraktion; enzymatisk behandling; xylanaser; prebiotika; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Cereal by-products are abundant streams of underutilised biomass that have the potential be valorised into various industrial products by means of environmentally friendly processes. In this study, an integrated bioprocess combining subcritical water extraction (SWE) and enzymatic treatment (ET) was proposed to effectively extract arabinoxylans (AX) from cereal by-products.

  6. 14. On the assessment of nerve involvement and of dysfunction in patients with spinal pain

    Author : Bo C Bertilson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nerve involvement originating in the spine can cause pain and/or organ dysfunction. Reliable and valid assessment of nerve involvement is a prime diagnostic task as it may require other than symptomatic treatment. READ MORE

  7. 15. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy : new insights into the disease mechanism and prospects for pharmacological therapy

    Author : Laura C Bott; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Expansion of a polyglutamine-encoding trinucleotide CAG repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) gene causes spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, or Kennedy’s disease). SBMA is an adult-onset disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy due to the degeneration of lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. READ MORE
