  2. 6. Neurotrophic factors in peripheral nervous system development : function and specificity

    Author : Anna Stenqvist Castelo-Branco; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurotrophic factors control a range of activities in developing neurons, including survival, proliferation, migration and neuronal differentiation. Two classes of neurotrophic factors that are strongly linked to neuronal development of the peripheral nervous system are the neurotrophins and GDNF family ligands. READ MORE

  4. 7. Studies on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Microdispensing, Neurite Guidance and Galectins

    Author : Per Gustavsson; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vävnadskultur; histokemi; cytokemi; Histologi; tissue culture; histochemistry; cytochemistry; Histology; Schwann cells; sciatic nerve; dorsal root ganglia; DRG; neurite guidance; galectins; inkjet; microdispensing; peripheral nervous system; nerve regeneration; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The present thesis describes development of a microdispenser-based technique to create of protein patterns for neurite guidance. The same technique was also developed to allow direct positioning of dissociated cells, including neurons, on cell culture substrates. Finally the role of galectin-3 and 8 during nerve regeneration was investigated. READ MORE

  6. 9. Glial cell responses, complement and clusterin expression after lesions in central or peripheral nervous system

    Author : Li Liu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Glia; Complement; Clusterin; Proliferation; Peripheral nerve injury; Spinal cord injury; Rhizotomy; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : The present Thesis examines the expression and role of complement and the complement regulator clusterin after central or peripheral axon injury in relation to the responses of non-neuronal cells. Following peripheral sensory nerve injury, complement was expressed in the spinal cord and brain stem in association with reactive microglia, which also appeared to be a local source of complement.

  7. 10. Autophagy in Peripheral Neuropathy

    Author : Ayman Osman; Simin Mohseni; Lars-Göran Dahlin; David Engblom; Maria V Turkina; Kaj Fried; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Peripheral neuropathy includes a wide range of diseases affecting millions around the world, and many of these diseases have unknown etiology. Peripheral neuropathy in diabetes represents a large proportion of peripheral neuropathies. Nerve damage can also be caused by trauma. READ MORE
