  2. 16. tPA mediated activation of PDGF-C/PDGFRα signaling in the CNS

    Author : Christina Stefanitsch; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The platelet derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their tyrosine kinase receptors play an essential role during development, in adult tissue homeostasis and in several pathological events. PDGF-CC, a ligand for PDGFRα, is secreted as an inactive dimer. READ MORE

  4. 17. Death, survival, and morphological development of hippocampal granule cells born in an inflammatory environment

    Author : Sara Bonde; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microglia; hippocampus; Adult neurogenesis; gephyrin; dendritic spines;

    Abstract : The brain continues to form new neurons throughout life. This process of adult neurogenesis has been thoroughly documented in several species including birds, rodents and humans. READ MORE

  5. 18. On the assessment of right ventricular function using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography

    Author : Stina Jorstig; Per Thunberg; Kent Emilsson; Mats Lidén; Micael Waldenborg; Einar Heiberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; right ventricle; stroke volume; ejection fraction; cardiac magnetic resonance; ehocardiography; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are two commonly used imaging modalities for evaluating the size and function of the heart. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with both modalities when examining the right ventricle (RV). READ MORE

  6. 19. Amyloid precursor protein : cellular studies and animal models

    Author : Tatjana Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by a number of neuropathological features, including extracellular deposits composed primarily of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides. Aβ is derived from proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by consecutive action of β and γ-secretases. READ MORE

  7. 20. Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy : Genetic and Electrocardiographic Aspects on Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmia and Diagnosis

    Author : Anneli Svensson; Cecilia Gunnarsson; Pyotr Platonov; Lars O. Karlsson; Perry M. Elliott; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Introduction: ARVC (Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy) is a heritable rare disease of the heart muscle, primarily affecting the right ventricle, that may cause arrhythmias and heart failure.Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to study various aspects of genetic information and electrocardiography (ECG), for their use in diagnosis and risk evaluation in ARVC.
