  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. Satellite cells in human skeletal muscle : molecular identification quantification and function

    Author : Mona Lindström; Lars-Eric Thornell; Hannu Kalimo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; satellite cell markers; NCAM; Pax7; MyoD; myogenin; DLK1 FA1; c-Met; human skeletal muscle; immunohistochemistry; muscle growth; muscle hypertrophy; Morphology; cell biology; pathology; Morfologi; cellbiologi; patologi; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle satellite cells located between the plasma membrane and the basal lamina of muscle fibres, could for many years, only be studied in situ by electron microscopy. The introduction of immunohistochemistry and the discovery of molecular markers of satellite cells then made them accessible for light microscopic studies and a wealth of information is today available.

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Regulation of the vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype

    Author : Henrik Lindskog; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; embryonic stem cells; vascular smooth muscle cell; smooth muscle cell; pericyte; phenotypic modulation; lipoma preferred partner; ectra-cellular matrix; zinc finger protein 148;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cells (SMC) are present in many internal organs such as the blood vessels and the gastrointestinal channel. Their main functions are to provide stability to the tissue and to provide contractile capability. SMC are not terminally differentiated but can switch between several phenotypes, which is also known as phenotypic modulation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation : patients’ and sibling donors’ perspectives

    Author : Annika M Kisch; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; Confidentiality; Information and care model; Quality of life; Perspectives; Sibling donor; Stem cell donation;

    Abstract : Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hereafter HSCT) is an established treatment which offers a potential cure for a variety of diseases, mainly haematological malignancies. However, the treatment is also associated with significant risks of acute complications and late side effects, including mortality. READ MORE
