  2. 1. The Role of miRNA in Neurogenesis and Cell Specification

    Author : Malin Åkerblom; Molekylär neurogenetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; miRNA; microRNA; miR-124; miR-9; miR-125; adult neurogenesis; neural stem cells; cell specification; microglia; lentiviral vectors; olfactory bulb; olfactory bulb interneurons;

    Abstract : Only a few decades ago, it was generally believed that gene expression was controlled in a unidirectional way, i.e. DNA was transcribed into RNA, which simply acted as a messenger molecule used to produce the protein that executed cellular functions. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Regulatory Role of microRNAs in the Mouse and Human Brain

    Author : Rebecca Petri; Molekylär neurogenetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microRNA; Argonaute; AGO-RIP; let-7; miR-125; adult neurogenesis; olfactory bulb; autophagy; transposable elements; LINE-2; Huntington’s disease;

    Abstract : microRNAs (miRNAs) are 20-24 nucleotides small, single-stranded, non-coding RNAs. They associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins and exert their function by inhibition or degradation of messenger RNAs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neurogenesis in the adult brain from ballyhoo to sobriety

    Author : Helena Frielingsdorf; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; Nerve growth factor; acetylcholine; GABA; learning; hippocampus; Neurogenesis; dopamine; substantia nigra;

    Abstract : New neurons are spontaneously generated in two regions of the adult brain, the hippocampus and the subventricular zone/olfactory bulb. The objective of this thesis was to study potential implications for adult neurogenesis in Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD). READ MORE

  6. 4. Neurogenesis from Neural Stem Cells, Ependymal Cells and Fibroblasts

    Author : Karthikeyan Devaraju; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adult neurogenesis; stroke; neural stem cells; Lnk; ependymal cells; FoxJ1; cortical reprogramming;

    Abstract : Stroke is a major cause of death and disability around the world. Stroke leads to loss of neurons and also other cells in the brain due to lack of blood supply. Currently no therapies are available to treat stroke-related disability. It has been shown that stroke leads to increased neurogenesis, birth of new neurons, within the brain. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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
