1. Neural Stem Cells - interaction with the brain and prospects for cell replacement therapy for Stroke
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.

2. Towards Human Supervisory Control in Advanced Manufacturing Systems
Abstract : This thesis is on the topic of Human Supervisory Control in Advanced Manufacturing Systems (AMS). Presently, these systems suffer from inferior reliability and low productivity, unless "nursed" by skilled operators. Operators controlling the AMS are approaching a work situation similar to that of operators in continuous process manufacturing. READ MORE

3. MESENCHYMAL STEM- AND STROMAL CELLS IN BONE MARROW AND OSTEOSARCOMA
Abstract : Primary mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) play a central role in bone marrow (BM) and during haematopoiesis. Yet, the exact phenotype and spatial distribution of primary MSC in the human BM are unknown. Their cultured progeny are promising candidates for clinical applications. READ MORE

4. Generation of cortical neurons through reprogramming technology
Abstract : The human cortex is affected by several debilitating acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease, which target specific types of cortical neurons. Emerging evidence indicates that stem cells and reprogrammed cells can be used to generate human cortical neurons both for cell replacement by transplantation, and for disease modeling and drug screening.

5. The fate of primary aneuploid cells in early embryonic development and stem cells
Abstract : Chromosomal aberrations occurring during gametogenesis and early embryonic development play a significant role in infertility and fetal loss in humans. Germ cells that have an abnormal number of chromosomes (aneuploidy) are generated mainly due to errors during female gamete formation, a phenomenon increasing in occurrence with age. READ MORE
