2. 1. Stem cells for nerve repair and prevention of muscle atrophy

   Author : Dominique Schaakxs; Paul Kingham; Mikael Wiberg; Daniel Kalbermatten; Christine Radtke; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipose stem cells; biomaterial; muscle; nerve injury; neuromuscular junction; regeneration; cell research; cellforskning; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi;

   Abstract :   Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is common and despite modern microsurgical techniques of repair, functional restoration is always incomplete. This results in impaired sensation and reduced motor function alongside pain and cold intolerance. READ MORE

4. 2. Molecular and physiological functions of LRIG proteins and netrin-1 in health and disease

   Author : Carl Herdenberg; Håkan Hedman; Richard Palmqvist; Maréne Landström; Aristidis Moustakas; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LRIG; Netrin-1; LRIG1; LRIG2; LRIG3; Type 2 diabetes; Oncology; onkologi;

   Abstract : The leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains (LRIG) gene family has three members, LRIG1, LRIG2, and LRIG3, that encode three structurally similar transmembrane proteins. LRIG1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase regulator, tumor suppressor, and stem cell marker in the skin, intestine, and brain. READ MORE

5. 3. Optimizing stem cells for reconstructive surgery

   Author : Anne Therese Lauvrud; Paul J. Kingham; Rebecca Wiberg; Peyman Kelk; Maria Brohlin; Susanna Kauhanen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue-derived stem cells; liposuction; oncological safety; xenofree growth medium; Human Anatomy; anatomi;

   Abstract : Fat grafting has become an established method in plastic surgery for treating soft tissue defects. The results for survival of the fat being transplanted is unpredictable and supplementation of the graft with the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) or cultures Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) can enhance graft viability.

6. 4. Nerve gap repair by the use of artificial conduits and cultured cells

   Author : Daniel Kalbermatten; Mikael Wiberg; Ulrich Mennen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipose stem cells; cell matrix; fibrin; nerve conduit; nerve gap; Surgery; Kirurgi; kirurgi; Surgery;

   Abstract : Peripheral nerve injuries are often associated with loss of nerve tissue and require autologous nerve grafts to provide a physical substrate for axonal growth. This thesis investigates the use of fibrin as both a tubular conduit to guide nerve regeneration and also as a matrix material to suspend various regenerative cell types within/on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) nerve conduits.

7. 5. Development of a mouse model for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome reveal defects in adult stem cell maintenance

   Author : Ylva Rosengardten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a very rare genetic disease that presents some features of accelerated aging. Children with the disease are born appearing healthy but start to develop signs of the disease within their first years of life. READ MORE
