6. Neruons; regulators of CNS inflammation
Abstract : Neurons have been neglected as cells with major immune regulatory function. Here, we present novel data demonstrating that neurons are highly immune competent and play crucial role in regulation of T cell response and CNS inflammation. READ MORE

7. In vivo properties of neural stem cells after transplantation into the rat brain-Studies of phenotypic differentiation and functional integration using cell-specific labelling and electrophysiological techniques
Abstract : In the present thesis, we have examined the in vivo properties of in vitro expanded human and rat neural stem-and progenitor cells after transplantation into the neonatal and adult rat brain. The survival and differentiation of the grafted cells were assessed using species-specific antisera, and pre-labelling with the reporter gene green fluorescent protein (GFP). READ MORE

8. Induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest
Abstract : This thesis is based on studies of the clinical use of induced hypothermia as an intervention to reduce mortality and neurological impairment after cardiac arrest. After the publication of two trials indicating benefit of induced hypothermia, we developed a registry to assess outcome, possible adverse events and conduct of induced hypothermia when this intervention was implemented in a clinical population of cardiac arrest patients.

9. Mechanisms controlling midbrain dopaminergic neuron development
Abstract : The degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons accounts for some of the main motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Efforts during the last decades have focused on understanding how mDA neurons are generated and maintained with the hope of developing novel stem cell-based replacement therapies. READ MORE

10. Molecular regulation of somatosensory neuron development
Abstract : The somatosensory system of vertebrates perceives and transmits a variety of information from both external and internal environments to the central nervous system where an integrated response is established leading to adaptive outcome. Specific classes of sensory neurons convey the information consisting of touch, muscle stretch, temperature, itch, and pain. READ MORE
