2. 16. Implementing new genomic tools to study ventral midbrain development and injury response in the newt Pleurodeles waltl

   Author : Zeyu Yao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Mammals have a poor ability to regenerate organs or tissues. In particular, brain neurons do not regenerate after damage. A good example of this limitation is the irreversible degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Several strategies are being developed to treat PD. READ MORE

4. 17. Progesterone receptor modulators in contraception : clinical implications of ovarian and endometrial effects

   Author : Cecilia Berger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Emergency contraception (EC) offers a last chance to prevent an unwanted pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse (UPSI) but before pregnancy occurs, for example after contraceptive failure, non-use of contraception or after rape. Progesterone receptor modulators (PRMs) exert their effect through acting as partial antagonists and partial agonists of the progesterone receptor (PR) and have proven effective for EC in low doses by postponing or inhibiting ovulation if it was taken preovulatory in the menstrual cycle.

   Abstract : The best mode of delivery for fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and umbilical artery (UA) blood flow changes is not well elucidated. Uterine artery, fetal UA, middle cerebral artery (MCA), and venous blood flow changes during uterine contractions during an oxytocin challenge test (OCT) have not been observed systemically.

   Abstract : Type 2 diabetes, obesity and depression are growing concerns for human health. Physical exercise is a known protective factor against these disorders, although the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. READ MORE

7. 20. Ionic modulators of stem cell state

   Author : Anna Omelyanenko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Tissue generation during development and maintenance throughout life relies on the proliferation and sequential specification of a group of cells. Stem cells are defined by the properties of self-renewal (division to produce daughter cells equipotent to the mother) and differentiation (division where at least one daughter is of a more restricted potential).
