  2. 1. Progenitor cells in the postnatal central nervous system, characterization and genetic manipulation

    Author : Nina Rogelius; CNS Genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; subventricular zone; Islet1; Neurogenin2; respecification; in vivo.; transcription factors; neurogenesis; Progenitor cells; stem cells;

    Abstract : New neurons are only generated in two places of the postnatal brain; the subventricular zone (SVZ) and hippocampus. The SVZ-derived cells specifically migrate to the olfactory bulb where they give rise to new interneurons. READ MORE

  4. 2. Generation of cells for cell-replacement therapy: Specification of neural precursors in vivo and in neural stem cell cultures

    Author : Josephine Hebsgaard; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurospheres; Dopaminergic neurons; Parkinson s disease; Neurogenin2;

    Abstract : Cell replacement therapy of neurodegenerative disorders aims to substitute the degenerating cells with new functional neurons. Clinical trails with patients suffering from Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease have generated proof-of-principle results that neural precursors taken from the developing human brain can survive upon grafting to the diseased brain and provide long-lasting symptomatic relief.

  5. 3. Generation of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in vivo and in vitro: the role of Neurogenin2

    Author : Elin Andersson; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Medicin människa och djur ; cell replacement; Parkinson?s; dopamine; neuronal specification; development; mesencephalon; TH; neuronal differentiation; proneural genes; transcription factors; bHLH; neurospheres; stem cell; progenitor cell;

    Abstract : Parkinsons disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder where dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra (SNc) in the mesencephalon are progressively eliminated. The ensuing loss of dopaminergic innervation of the basal ganglia manifests itself as severe motor deficits in PD patients. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cell therapy for spinal cord injury, studies of motor and sensory systems

    Author : Christoph Hofstetter; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nervous system; spinal cord injury; pseudorabies virus; axonal tracing; functional MRI; stereology; Rho-kinases; transplantation; stem cells; neurogenin2; allodynia;

    Abstract : Spinal cord injury represents a significant medical concern, affecting thousands of individuals each year. The majority of victims are young males harmed by traffic accidents, violence, and falls. Severe spinal cord injury interupts nerve fiber pathways connecting the brain and the rest of the body.

  7. 5. 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
