11. Control of early development of the lens and the retina
Sammanfattning : The nervous system is composed of two separate compartments, the central and the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) composed mainly of sensory organs transmits sensory information to the central nervous system (CNS) comprising the brain and the spinal cord. LÄS MER
12. Pharmacological manipulation of fracture healing and bone remodeling
Sammanfattning : Drug treatment has been and will continue to be a successful method in modern medicine that can change the course of a disease. However, it is surprisingly seldom used in the more technically oriented orthopedic surgery. LÄS MER
13. Directing stem cells and progenitors towards neuronal differentiation - implications for experimental therapies for Parkinson's disease
Sammanfattning : The insight that stem- and progenitor-cells contribute to replacement of nerve cells in the adult central nervous system is the basis of modern therapies for structural brain repair. Their goal is to protect, support and stimulate endogenous stem cells in areas affected by disease and to replace lost cells by transplanting in vitro generated, tailored nerve cells. LÄS MER
14. TGF-β Family Signaling in Tumor Angiogenesis
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis provides growing tumors a source of nutrients and oxygen, and a route for metastatic dissemination. In recent years anti-angiogenic therapies that primarily target the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling cascade have entered the clinic. LÄS MER
15. Novel Regulators of the TGF-β Signaling Pathway
Sammanfattning : The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily consists of related multifunctional cytokines, which include TGF-βs, activins, and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and coordinate several biological responses in diverse cell types. The biological activity of TGF-β members is executed by transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors and intracellular Smad proteins. LÄS MER
