  2. 16. Dental mesenchymal stem cells

    Author : Nina Kaukua; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mesenchymal stem cells have been found in various tissues and act as source for renewal and repair. The mouse incisor tooth continuously grows throughout life, implicating that there are stem cell niches constantly contributing with cells. The composition of these stem cell niches is not fully understood. READ MORE

  4. 17. Adult neurogenesis : from stem cell to functional neuron

    Author : Marie Carlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The adult mammalian central nervous system harbors a population of neural stem cells with the ability to generate neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. These pluripotent cells can be enriched in vitro, and by directing their differentiation it would be possible to generate populations of specific neural cell types to use for transplantation.

  5. 18. Regulatory Proteins in Progenitors and Differentiated Cells of the Human Prostate

    Author : Jens Ceder; Malmö (Abrahamsson) Urologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mesenchymal stem cells; somatostatin; transit amplifying cells; cell differentiation; adult stem cells; Prostate gland; prostatic benign hyperplasia; neuroendocrine cells; prostate cancer;

    Abstract : Prostate cancer (PC) develops from an androgen-dependent tissue that contains androgen receptors in both the stromal and glandular compartments. Surgical removal of the prostate may cure the patient, but if metastatic spread has occurred, androgen suppression therapy is the standard treatment. READ MORE

  6. 19. MESENCHYMAL STEM- AND STROMAL CELLS IN BONE MARROW AND OSTEOSARCOMA

    Author : Jan Claas Brune; Stamcellscentrum (SCC); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mesenchymal stem cells; stromal cells; bone marrow stem cells; tumour stroma; stroma-directed anti-tumour therapy; osteosarcoma;

    Abstract : Primary mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) play a central role in bone marrow (BM) and during haematopoiesis. Yet, the exact phenotype and spatial distribution of primary MSC in the human BM are unknown. Their cultured progeny are promising candidates for clinical applications. READ MORE

  7. 20. The role of Lhx2 in hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration

    Author : Gunilla Törnqvist; Leif Carlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; molecular cell biology; molekylär cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Hair is important for thermoregulation, physical protection, sensory activity, seasonal camouflage and social interactions. Hair is produced in hair follicles (HFs), complex mini-organs in the skin devoted to this task. READ MORE
