1. Cells in Culture, Cells in Suspense : Practices of Cultural Production in Foetal Cell Research
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative affliction to which researchers have long striven to find a cure. The human embryo is a source of vital cells used in regenerative medicine, as well as a powerful symbol of life. LÄS MER
2. Optimizing stem cells for reconstructive surgery
Sammanfattning : Fat grafting has become an established method in plastic surgery for treating soft tissue defects. The results for survival of the fat being transplanted is unpredictable and supplementation of the graft with the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) or cultures Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) can enhance graft viability.

3. Human articular chondrocytes. Plasticity and differentiation potentials
Sammanfattning : Articular cartilage has no or very low ability for self-repair and untreated lesions may lead tothe development of Osteoarthritis (OA). One method, which has been proved to result in longterm repair of isolated lesions, is autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT). LÄS MER
4. Regulation of apoptosis and steroidogenesis in ovarian preovulatory granulosa cells
Sammanfattning : Only a minute fraction of ovarian follicles present in a foetal ovary will complete the path to ovulation. The majority of the follicles will instead undergo atresia, a hormonally controlled apoptotic process. Apoptosis occurs throughout follicle development, with an extensive reduction in the number of follicles present at birth. LÄS MER
5. Transcriptional profiling of human embryonic stem cells and their functional derivatives
Sammanfattning : Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) represent populations of pluripotent, undifferentiated cells with unlimited replication capacity, and with the ability to differentiate into any functional cell type in the human body. Based on these properties, hESCs and their derivatives provide unique model systems for basic research on embryonic development. LÄS MER
