  2. 1. BMP - a key signaling molecule in specification and morphogenesis of sensory structures

    Author : Vijay Kumar Jidigam; Lena Gunhaga; Jonas von Hofsten; Richard A. Lang; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; BMP signaling; Placode morphogenesis; lens; retina; olfactory; otic; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Cranial placodes are transient thickenings of the vertebrate embryonic head ectoderm that will give rise to sensory (olfactory, lens, and otic) and non-sensory (hypophyseal) components of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In most vertebrate embryos, these four sensory placodes undergo invagination. READ MORE

  4. 2. On The Innervation of Salivary Glands and Treatment of Dry Mouth - An Experimental and Clinical Study

    Author : Nina Khosravani; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parotid gland; Denervation; Acetylcholine synthesis; Otic ganglion; Auriculo-temporal nerve; Facial nerve; Neuropeptides; Salivary gland hypofunction; Physostigmine;

    Abstract : Detailed knowledge of the innervation of the parotid gland is essential in basic studies on various neuroglandular phenomena as well as in various types of orofacial surgery. The innervation is more complex than usually depicted in Textbooks. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transmission of bone conducted sound in the human skull based on vibration and perceptual measures

    Author : Måns Eeg-Olofsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bone conducted sound; Cochlear vibration; Hearing perception; Bone conduction implant;

    Abstract : For patients who are rehabilitated with bone conduction (BC) hearing aids, the position on the skull of the hearing aid is critical for the perception of the sound. The aim of this work was to describe the vibration of the cochlea from BC sound stimulation at different positions on the skull. READ MORE

  6. 4. Macrophages, Nitric oxide synthases and Heme oxygenases: possible roles during peripheral nerve regeneration

    Author : Sofia Magnusson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; satellite cells; peripheral ganglia; cell signalling; nerve regeneration; heme oxygenase; Macrophages; nitric oxide synthase; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to investigate the suggestions that macrophages, and the systems generating nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), i.e. nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and heme oxygenases (HO), could be important for peripheral nerve regeneration. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Peptide (PACAP): An Experimental Study On the Expression and Regulation in the Peripheral Nervous System

    Author : Kristian Moller; Neuroendokrin cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytokemi; histokemi; Histologi; vävnadskultur; Histology; cytochemistry; histochemistry; tissue culture;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with PACAP and PACAP type-1 receptors in the sensory and autonomic parts of the peripheral nervous system. In the rat, PACAP is expressed in small-sized sensory neurons and in C-fibers. READ MORE
