2. 1. End-to-side nerve repair - A study in the forelimb of the rat

   Author : Eleana Bontioti; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nerve regeneration; Kirurgi; traumatology; Surgery; orthopaedics; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Retrograde labelling; ATF3; Collateral sprouting; ortopedi; traumatologi; Nerve injury;

   Abstract : Nerve injuries have a profound impact on individuals, suffering for the patients and induce cost for society. When dealing with severe nerve injuries that create a gap between nerve segments or when the injury is at the brachial plexus level, the clinical alternatives are limited. READ MORE

4. 2. On laminins and laminin receptors and their roles in regeneration and myelination of the peripheral nerve

   Author : Wilhelm Wallquist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Motoneuron; dorsal root ganglion neuron; integrin; laminin; Schwann cell; Sciatic nerve; regeneration; myelination; in situ hybridization; immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.;

   Abstract : One important prerequisite for successful axon regeneration is that appropriate extracellular molecules are available for outgrowing axons and that receptors for such molecules are found in the regenerating neuron. Laminin associated integrin subunits alpha3, alpha6, alpha7 and beta1 mRNAs are here shown to be present in rat motoneurons, and in the case of integrin subunits alpha7 and gamma1, also immunohistochemical (IHC) labelling of the proteins was demonstrated.

5. 3. Stem cell differentiation, plasticity and regenerative mechanisms in the cholinergic system : implications for Alzheimer’s disease

   Author : Mats Nilbratt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Alzheimer´s disease; amyloid precursor protein; cholinergic differentiation; human embryonic stem cells; neural precursor; nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; neurotrophic factor; radial glial cells; transplantation;

   Abstract : Stem cells are immature cells with self-renewal capacity. They are able to differentiate into multiple lineages that may serve as a source of expandable cells for various applications. READ MORE

6. 4. Humeral shaft fractures : epidemiology outcome

   Author : Radford Ekholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Humeral shaft fractures account for 1-3% of all fractures and approximately 20% of all humeral fractures. Non-operative treatment with functional bracing has been regarded as the golden standard for treatment of closed humeral shaft fractures with studies reporting a high overall healing rate and an acceptable functional outcome.

7. 5. On the influence of glia on neurite outgrowth from dopamine neurons in the nigrostriatal system

   Author : Malin Saga Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Dopamine; glia; astrocytes; olfactory ensheathing cells; development; ni-grostriatal; mesencephalon; Parkinson s disease; 6-hydroxydopamine;

   Abstract : Interactions between glial cells and neurons are important during fetal development, in the maintenance of the normal functions in tile central nervous system (CNS), arid in response to injuries or diseases. Some of die motor disturbances in Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder where one of the hallmarks is degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons and concomitant depletion of DA in striatum, can be alleviated by intrastriatal grafting of embryonic DA tissue.
