  1. 11. Novel skeletal stem and progenitor cells and their regulation

    Author : Baoyi Zhou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The development of bone and cartilage, which provide the framework of the skeletal system, is complex. In this context stem and progenitor cells play a crucial role by producing differentiated cells. Hormones are important regulators of this process, with growth hormone (GH) acting as the major endocrine regulator of longitudinal bone growth. READ MORE

  2. 12. Molecular and cellular analysis of Lhx2 function in hematopoietic stem cells

    Author : Karin Richter; Leif Carlsson; Andrew Elefanty; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hematopoietic stem cells; Lhx2; cell lines; self renewal; SCF; IL-6; chronic myeloproliferative disorder; global gene expression analysis; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The formation of blood, hematopoiesis, is a dynamic process originating from a small number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). To sustain hematopoiesis throughout life HSCs have the unique capacity to differentiate into all mature hematopoietic lineages as well as generating more HSCs by a mechanism referred to as self-renewal.

  3. 13. Experimental gene therapy with special reference to plasma cell tumors

    Author : M Sirac Dilber; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Gene therapy may open new perspectives in the treatment of numerous hematopoietic and metabolic disorders. Particularly, hematopoietic cells are very attractive targets for retroviral mediated gene transfer. READ MORE

  4. 14. Simultaneous profiling of cell types and lineages in neuro- and gliogenesis

    Author : Leonie von Berlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mammalian brain consists of billions of highly specialized cells and trillions of connections between them. This immense complexity arises from a single layer of neuroepithelial progenitor cells. READ MORE

  5. 15. An ependymal cell quest : identification and functional role of spinal cord neural stem cells

    Author : Hanna Sabelström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Few injuries have as profound and long-lasting consequences as spinal cord injury. The primary areas of impaired function typically include sensation, mobility, bladder, bowel and sexual function. The economic, social and personal effects can also be devastating. READ MORE
