  2. 1. Zinc-enriched neurons in the spinal cord, cerebellum and peripheral sympathetic system

    Author : Zhan-You Wang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : autometallography; axonal transport; confocal laser scanning microscopy; immuno-electron microscopy; immunofluorescence; inhibitory neurons; sympathetic neurons; synaptic vesicles; zinc ions; zinc transporter;

    Abstract : Zinc ions are abundant in the nervous system and are involved in many biological functions. Most zinc is tightly bound to macromolecules, whereas a small fraction of zinc exists in synaptic vesicles of the zinc-enriched (ZEN) neurons, and can be visualized using various histochemical techniques, including autometallography (AMG).

  4. 2. Studies on the Bcl-2 Family of Apoptosis Regulators in the Nervous System

    Author : Susanne Hamnér; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Bcl-2; Bcl-w; Bad; Apoptosis; Nervous system; Cerebellar granule cells; Sympathetic neurons; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Developmental Neurosciences; medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi;

    Abstract : Apoptosis is a type of cell death with a specific morphology and molecular program, which is essential for the development of the nervous system. However, inappropriate cell death has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases. READ MORE

  5. 3. Immunofluorescence Investigation on Neuroendocrine Secretory Protein 55 (NESP55) in Nervous Tissues

    Author : Yongling Li; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NESP55; neuropeptdides; chromogranins; the CAD cell line; rat; spinal cord; sympathetic ganglia; retrograde tracing; immunofluorescence; confocal microscopy; secretory pathway;

    Abstract : The chromogranin family is a group of acidic, soluble, and heat-stable proteins widespread in various neuronal, neuroendocrine and endocrine tissues, where they are subcellullarly located in the secretory granules, participating in the formation of the granules. Extracellularly, chromogranins may act as protein precursors, proteolytically processed to various small bioactive peptides. READ MORE

  6. 4. Experimental Studies of BMP Signalling in Neuronal Cells

    Author : Susanna Althini; Ted Ebendal; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Ingrid Strömberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Bone Morphogenetic Protein BMP ; Growth Differentiation Factor 10 GDF10 ; Aktivne-receptor Like Kinase 2 ALK2 ; Tyrosine Hydroxylase TH ; Neurotrophic Factor; Neurite Outgrowth; Hippocampus; Catecholamine; PC12; Sympathetic Ganglia; Substantia Nigra SN ; Gene Targeting; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Developmental Neurosciences; Medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi;

    Abstract : The developing nervous system depends largely on extracellular cues to shape its complex network of neurons. Classically, neurotrophins are known to be important mediators in this process. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structure and function of trigeminal primary sensory neurons after peripheral nerve injury

    Author : Ulf Bongenhielm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ankyrinG; chronic constriction injury; electron microscopy; electrophysiology; hyperexcitability; immunocytochemistry; inferior alveolar nerve; in situ hybridisation; nerve injury; neuroma; SNS PN3; sodium channel; trigeminal ganglion;

    Abstract : Iatrogenic injuries to branches of the trigeminal nerve are common during surgical procedures in the jaws and teeth, and as the repercussion of facial fractures or certain pathologies. A portion of these patients are left with disturbed sensory functions, and some with unpleasant abnormal sensations, including pain. READ MORE
