1. Anabolic Androgenic Steroids : Neurobiological Effects of Nandrolone, Testosterone, Trenbolone, and Stanozolol
Abstract : The use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) for recreational purposes is a health concern, as long-term AAS-use in supraphysiological doses is associated with severe physical and psychological adverse effects. Several behavioral and cognitive problems are reported after long-term AAS-use, and alterations in brain morphology as well as neurotransmitter systems have been reported. READ MORE

2. Trophic factors, neuroprotection and spinal cord repair
Abstract : Background: There is no cure for paralysis. The only drug therapy presently in use, acute high-dose methylprednisolone, has only modest effects on outcome. There is therefore a great need for new therapies. READ MORE

3. Neurotrophic factors and neuronal plasticity
Abstract : The neurotrophic factors were originally discovered because of their ability to rescue neurons during a period of naturally occurring programmed cell death. This gave rise to the neurotrophic factor hypothesis which states that specific target-derived factors protect and support subpopulations of innervating neurons, thereby regulating the pattern and quantity of innervation properly for each target tissue.

4. Schwann cells and mesenchymal stem cells as promoter of peripheral nerve regeneration
Abstract : The transplantation of primary Schwann cells (SC) has been shown to improve nerve regeneration. However, to monitor the survival of transplanted cells within the host, a stable labelling method is required. READ MORE

5. Cellular models of human brain disorders from skin to brain
Abstract : Studying human brain development and disorders is very challenging. In the absence of comparable model organisms, human-related models, and limitations to obtain live cells from the human brain, induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) technology, in particular, provided a unique tool to study the disease mechanisms and investigate potential treatments.
