2. 6. Derivation, propagation and differentiation of human stem and progenitor cells

   Author : Mathilda Zetterström Axell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Human embryonic stem cells; neural progenitor cells; stem cells; differentiation; propagation; migration; cell culturing; rostral migratory stream; electrospun scaffolds;

   Abstract : Neuronal loss is a common feature of many neurological disorders, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and traumatic brain injury. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and hESC-derived neural progenitors (NPs) may provide a number of new ways for studying and treating diseases and injuries in the brain. READ MORE

4. 7. Neurogenesis from Neural Stem Cells, Ependymal Cells and Fibroblasts

   Author : Karthikeyan Devaraju; Lund Neurologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adult neurogenesis; stroke; neural stem cells; Lnk; ependymal cells; FoxJ1; cortical reprogramming;

   Abstract : Stroke is a major cause of death and disability around the world. Stroke leads to loss of neurons and also other cells in the brain due to lack of blood supply. Currently no therapies are available to treat stroke-related disability. It has been shown that stroke leads to increased neurogenesis, birth of new neurons, within the brain. READ MORE

5. 8. Stem cell function and organ development : analysis of Lhx2 function in hematopoietic stem cells and eye development

   Author : Lina Dahl; Leif Carlsson; Jan-Ingvar Jönsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lhx2; hematopoietic system; hematopoietic stem cell; progenitor; embryonic stem cell; embryoid body; eye development; forebrain; eye field transcription factor; Molecular medicine genetics and pathology ; Molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; molecular medicine  genetics and pathology ;

   Abstract : When a multicellular organism suffers damages to tissues/organs it heals itself by either substituting the lost cellular matrix by scar formation or by regenerating the lost tissue. Regeneration likely occurs by a recapitulation of the developmental process that formed the organ. READ MORE

6. 9. Genetic modeling of the Hippo pathway in hematopoietic stem cells

   Author : Lina Jansson; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stem cells; hematopoiesis; Hippo pathway; hematopoietic stem cells;

   Abstract : Hematopoiesis is the process of blood formation from a limited pool of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These rare stem cells can both self-renew to maintain the HSC pool, and differentiate to continuously replenish lost blood cells. The mechanisms of HSC regulation are not fully known. READ MORE

7. 10. Manipulating neural stem cells

   Author : Malin Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The stem cell field is a fairly young but fast growing scientific field. Our understanding of stem cells has changed tremendously over the last couple of decades. This in mainly due to the development of new techniques that has enabled us to study stem cells from a completely new perspective. READ MORE
