  2. 11. CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE: The importance of neuronal subtype, cell source and connectivity for functional recovery

    Author : Shane Grealish; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mouse behaviour; 6-hydroxydopamine; human embryonic stem cells; fetal tissue; connectivity; midbrain dopamine neuron subtype; cell transplantation; Parkinson’s disease;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor deficits such as slowness in movement, difficulty in initiating movement and tremor at rest. The cause of these motor symptoms is the selective loss of mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons, located in the substantia nigra (SN). READ MORE

  4. 12. Intratumoral heterogeneity in glioblastoma: subtype transition and cell-to-cell communication

    Author : Min Guo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : glioblastoma; intratumoral heterogeneity; subtype transition; intercellular communication; U-343; SOX2; SFRP2; PROX1; THRAP3; TGFBI; NOTCH1; and ADAMTS1;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is a most aggressive brain tumor with a median overall survival of less than two years. The current treatment is surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, glioblastoma is difficult to treat and recurs some time after treatment. READ MORE

  5. 13. Clinical significance of immunohistochemistry in breast cancer diagnostics

    Author : Slavica Janeva; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breast cancer biomarkers; immunohistochemistry; surrogate subtype; RT- qPCR; multifocal breast cancer; lymph node metastasis; triple-negative breast cancer; older women;

    Abstract : For patients with breast cancer, modern patient-tailored treatment depends on tumor- specific characteristics, i.e., estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2), and the proliferation marker Ki67. READ MORE

  6. 14. Investigations of Proneural Glioblastoma to Identify Novel Therapeutic Targets

    Author : Maria Boije; Lene Uhrbom; Bengt Westermark; Rolf Bjerkvig; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Glioma; proneural subtype; hallmarks; glioma initiating cells; S-SOX5; angiogenesis; stromal cells; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi; Experimentell patologi; Experimental Pathology;

    Abstract : Malignant glioma is a highly lethal and destructive disease with no proper cure. We have investigated some of the hallmarks of cancer in connection to glioma and found ways to disrupt these and prevent tumor growth. The work is done within the context of a glioma subtype distinguished by activation of PDGF signaling termed the proneural subtype. READ MORE

  7. 15. Development of cannabinoid subtype-1 (CB1) receptor ligands for PET

    Author : Sean R Donohue; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Abnormalities in brain cannabinoid subtype-1 (CB1) receptor concentrations and/or signaling pathways may be involved in a variety of psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. There is a strong need to image and quantify brain CB1 receptor concentrations in living humans under baseline and diseased conditions. READ MORE
