  1. 11. Biochemical and biophysical aspects of molecular recognition and signalling by neurotrophins

    Author : Leopold Luna Ilag; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurotrophins are members of a family of structurally and functionally related neurotrophic factors that control the development and maintenance of the nervous system. There are currently 5 members which make up this family: nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), neurotrophin-4(NT-4) and neurotrophin-6 (NT-6), which so far is only described in fish.

  2. 12. Neurotrophic factors and their receptors structure-function relationships and signalling mechanisms

    Author : Mikael Ryden; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : neurotrophins; nerve growth factor; brain-derived neurotrophic factor; neurotrophin-3; neurotrophin-4; p75 neurotrophin receptor; neuroblastoma; serinethreonine kinase receptors;

    Abstract : Background: The development, survival and maintenance of the vertebrate nervous system requires the continuous supply of a set of polypeptides termed neurotrophic factors. Among these, the neurotrophins (NTs) and members of the transforming growth factor-B (TGF-B) superfamily have raised substantial hopes for future clinical applications. READ MORE

  3. 13. Measurements and analysis of electromagnetic interferences in the Swedish railway systems

    Author : Stefan Niska; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

    Abstract : Presently, the existing failure reporting system at Banverket (the Swedish Rail Administration), which handles reports on the failures of the railway infrastructures and possible causes of failure, is not optimum (or most suitable) when it comes to analysis of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)- related failures and causes. This failure reporting system is reliant on correct reporting into the system, so that the right information can be sent back to the users, the maintenance and service personnel, in real time.

  4. 14. Novel insights into dishevelled and frizzled function

    Author : Jana Valnohova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The formation of a multicellular body during embryonic development is one of the most fascinating processes in biology. The cells are in constant communication and must be precisely coordinated. Several essential signalling pathways have been identified in cell-to-cell signal transmission. READ MORE

  5. 15. Laminins in stemness and germ cell development in human

    Author : Magdalena Kurek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Stem cell niches regulate the fine balance between self-renewal and differentiation of various stem cells. Although crucial hallmarks of stem cell niches, such as the mechanical signalling, neural inputs communicating distant cues, the proximity to blood vessels and the structural support by the surrounding basement membrane (BM), have been evaluated in different niches, little much attention has been directed to the specific composition of the BM.
