  2. 1. 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.

  4. 2. Evolution in multicellular mitotic lineages

    Author : Mario Pineda; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mosaic; modular organisms; spatial interactions; individualtiy; somatic embryogensis; ontogeny; clonality; meristem; chimera; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : Many animals, and all plants and fungi, produce vegetative offspring, i.e. descendant individuals that originate from mitotic, rather than meiotic, cell lineages. Many animals, and all plants and fungi, produce vegetative offspring, i. READ MORE

  5. 3. Informed patient choice – chimera or reality? : Understanding how patients engage in information-seeking when choosing a provider in Swedish primary care

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; patient choice; choice of provider; informed choice; information seeking; primary care; Sweden; Hälso- och sjukvårdsforskning; Health Care Research;

    Abstract : The steering of health care through patient choice has become an integral part of several health systems. In Sweden, the government introduced a legal right for patients to choose their own primary care provider in 2010. READ MORE

  6. 4. The genetic basis of T and B cell contribution to autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice

    Author : Vinícius Motta; Dan Holmberg; Linda Wicker; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 Diabetes; NOD mouse; CTLA-4; superantigen; T cells; Idd; marginal zone B cells; embryo aggregation chimera; negative selection; Immunogenetics; Immungenetik;

    Abstract : The nonobese diabetic mouse (NOD) is an excellent animal model to study type 1 diabetes. As with some humans, disease in the NOD mouse is effected by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. At least 20 insulin dependent diabetes (Idd) susceptibility loci have been identified so far, both in humans and in the NOD mouse. READ MORE

  7. 5. EWSR1 and FUS fusion genes in tumorigenesis

    Author : Emely Möller; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The present thesis concerns the involvement of EWSR1 and FUS fusion genes, and the chimeric proteins they encode, in tumorigenesis. In Article I, the EWSR1 promoter, which regulates the expression of EWSR1 fusion genes, was characterized and regions that were crucial for promoter activity could be identified. READ MORE
