1. Neural Stem Cell Differentiation and Migration
Sammanfattning : Neural stem cells are the precursors of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. During neural development, the division of stem cells takes place close to the lumen of the neural tube, after which they migrate to their final positions within the central nervous system (CNS).

2. The role of glial cells in alpha-synuclein pathology : Focus on degradation, cell-to-cell propagation and inflammation
Sammanfattning : Growing evidence emphasizes the role of astrocytes and microglia in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, little is known about their impact on specific disease processes and if their involvement is beneficial or detrimental. LÄS MER
3. Pathophysiological effects of alpha-synuclein on SNARE complex proteins in models of alpha-synucleinopathies
Sammanfattning : Accumulation and spread of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates are central to the disease pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, collectively known as α-synucleinopathies. Native α-syn is a monomeric presynaptic protein that can act as a molecular chaperone for the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex assembly. LÄS MER
4. Alpha-Synuclein Oligomers : Cellular Mechanisms and Aspects of Antibody Treatment
Sammanfattning : In Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), aggregated α-synuclein deposit inside cells within the brain. Smaller soluble α-synuclein aggregates, oligomers, are present both intra- and extracellularly. LÄS MER
5. CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies and the role of astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Whereas the AD brain features plaques of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles of tau, the PD brain is characterized by Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites containing α-synuclein (αSyn). LÄS MER
