  2. 1. Effects of retinoic acid in the mouse olfactory sensory systems

    Author : Maria Hörnberg; Staffan Bohm; Finn Hallböök; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfactory; retinoic acid; neuron survival; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : A common characteristic in neurodegenerative diseases of the brain is death of specific neuronal populations. The lack of neuron proliferation and axon extension in most parts of the central nervous system leads to chronic loss of neurons in the case of injury or disease. READ MORE

  4. 2. Computational Modelling of Early Olfactory Processing

    Author : Malin Sandström; Anders Lansner; Jeanette Hällgren Kotaleski; Thomas Nowotny; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfaction; olfactory system; olfactory bulb; olfactory receptor neuron; synchronization; CaMKII; mathematical modelling; lukt; luktsystemet; luktbulben; synkronisering; CaMKII; matematisk modellering; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Chemical sensing is believed to be the oldest sensory ability. The chemical senses, olfaction and gustation, developed to detect and analyze information in the form of air- or waterborne chemicals, to find food and mates, and to avoid danger. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Role of Lhx2 During Organogenesis : - Analysis of the Hepatic, Hematopoietic and Olfactory Systems

    Author : Åsa Kolterud; Leif Carlsson; Stefan Thor; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; LIM-homeobox gene; Lhx2; fetal liver; hepatic stellate cells; hematopoietic stem cells; septum transversum; self-renewal; odorant receptor genes; olfactory epithelium; olfactory sensory neuron; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : During embryonic development a variety of tissues and organs such as the lung, eye, and kidney are being formed. The generation of functional organs is regulated by reciprocal cell-cell interactions. Via the secretion of soluble molecules one type of cells affect the fate of their neighboring cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Zonal organization of the mouse olfactory systems

    Author : Fredrik Gussing; Staffan Bohm; Anna Berghard; Diego Restrepo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; olfactory; vomeronasal; gene expression; zone; organization; behavior; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Animals survey their environment for relevant odorous chemical compounds by means of the olfactory system. This system is in most vertebrates divided into a main and accessory olfactory system with two specialized neuroepithelia, the olfactory and the vomeronasal epithelium, respectively. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanisms of Olfactory sensory neuron class maintenance in Drosophila : It is all about design and equilibrium

    Author : Shadi Jafari; Mattias Alenius; Stefan Thor; David Engblom; Bassem Hassan; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : How the cellular diversity of our body is generated and maintained is still a great mystery regardless of the wealth of research that has been done on this issue. The greatest complexity is found in the nervous system that contains a vast number of neurons and displays a great diversity in cell types and classes. READ MORE
