  2. 21. Directed differentiation of adult neural stem cells for cell therapy in the nervous system

    Author : Niklas Holmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The emergence of neural stem cell research has raised hopes for cell therapy of neurological disorders. Insight into the normal mechanisms of neural stem cell fate specification and differentiation is a prerequisite for the development of safe and efficient clinical applications. READ MORE

  4. 22. Expression and post-translational modification of purple acid phosphatase in insect and mammalian cells

    Author : Yunling Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Purple acid phosphatase (PAP) is an acidic metallohydrolase that contain a binuclear iron center in its active site. In mammals, this enzyme is also referred to as tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAPs), uteroferrin or type 5 acid phosphatase. READ MORE

  5. 23. Sensory neuronal protection & improving regeneration after peripheral nerve injury

    Author : Andrew McKay Hart; Mikael Wiberg; Angus McGrouther; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; cell death; TUNEL; optical disection; dorsal root ganglion; peripheral nerve; nerve conduit; Schwann cell; glial growth factor; leukaemia inhibitory factor; acetyl-L-carnitine; N-acetyl-cysteine; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Abstract : Peripheral nerve trauma is a common cause of considerable functional morbidity, and healthcare expenditure. Particularly in the ~15% of injuries unsuitable for primary repair, standard clinical management results in inadequate sensory restitution in the majority of cases, despite the rigorous application of complex microsurgical techniques.

  6. 24. Proteins regulating vesicular docking and fusion : histochemical studies on their presence and regulation in endocrine, neuroendocrine and neuronal cells

    Author : Gunilla Jacobsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : - axotomy; botulinum neurotoxin; cranial nerve; CSP; ECL; endocrine; estrogen; exocytosis; hypothalamus; immunohistochemistry; in situ hybridization; motoneuron; mouse; mRNA; munc-18; pancreas; parasympathetic; pituitary; rat; salt-loading; sciatic n;

    Abstract : Regulated transmitter release involves docking and fusion of transmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. Vesicular docking and fusion events are mediated by specific exocytotic proteins located at the vesicle membrane, in the cytoplasm or at the plasma membrane. READ MORE

  7. 25. Selective wavelength pupillometry to evaluate outer and inner retinal photoreception

    Author : Aki Kawasaki; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Bertil Lindblom; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pupil; pupil light reflex; melanopsin; photoreceptor; intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell; oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology;

    Abstract : PurposeIntrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) express a unique photopigment called melanopsin. Capable of direct phototransduction, the ipRGCs are also influenced by rods and cones via synaptic inputs. READ MORE
