  4. 2. Mining the transcriptome - methods and applications

    Author : Valtteri Wirta; Joakim Lundeberg; John Quackenbush; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transcriptome; gene expression profiling; EST; microarray; RNA amplification; stem cells; neurosphere; Genetic engineering including functional genomics; Genteknik inkl. funktionsgenomik;

    Abstract : Regulation of gene expression occupies a central role in the control of the flow of genetic information from genes to proteins. Regulatory events on multiple levels ensure that the majority of the genes are expressed under controlled circumstances to yield temporally controlled, cell and tissue-specific expression patterns.

    Abstract : In 1947, Soviet architect Alexey Shchusev developed a large-scale urban renewal project for the post-war city of Chisinau, the then-capital of the SSR of Moldova. Part of the master plan was the construction of Boulevard D. Cantemir, which would cut through the city’s historic fabric. READ MORE

  6. 4. Stem cells for cardiac regeneration

    Author : Ivana Bulatović; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent studies have demonstrated a turnover of cardiomyocytes throughout the adult life. Whether this regenerative potential is due to proliferation and differentiation of resident stem cells or to the dedifferentiation of adult cardiomyocytes remains unclear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Human embryonic stem cells for bone engineering applications

    Author : Giuseppe Maria de Peppo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human skeleton; bone; bone defects; bone regeneration; regenerative medicine; tissue engineering; biomaterials; scaffold; biocoral; titanium; osseointegration bioreactor; human stem cells; embryonic stem cells; mesenchymal stem cells; embryonic-derived progenitors; osteogenic differentiation; mineralization; immune response; in vitro; in vivo;

    Abstract : The human skeleton represents the supporting structure of the organism and accounts for about 20 percent of the total body mass. Despite its intrinsic capacity to regenerate and self-repair, this ability is limited and repair therapies are needed in a large number of clinical cases. READ MORE
