21. Experimental Stroke and Neurotrophins: Regulation, function and gene transfer of neurotrophins in rat and mouse models of focal cerebral ischemia
Sammanfattning : Stroke caused by focal cerebral ischemia is a major cause of death and neurological disability in humans. The forebrain region most commonly affected by ischemic incidents is that supplied by the middle cerebral artery. LÄS MER
22. Interactions between mouse CNS cells : microglia and neural precursor cells
Sammanfattning : The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) contains a variety of cells, all specialized to perform different functions. Most numerous are the three types of glia cells, whose basic role is to support the signaling units of the CNS, the neurons. LÄS MER
23. In vivo responses of neural progenitor cells to extracellular matrix signaling under pathological conditions
Sammanfattning : The adult brain has an inherently low capacity for tissue regeneration, and neurons lost to disease or injuries are normally not replaced. This becomes especially apparent when stroke or brain trauma occurs. The discovery of neurogenesis and neural stem cells in the adult brain has opened up new avenues for treatment of the injured brain. LÄS MER
24. The neurogenic potential of astrocytes : a story of transformation and renewal
Sammanfattning : To not simply repair an organ, but to regenerate and fully recover its function, like there was no injury at all, that is the goal of regenerative medicine. Of all the organs in the human body, the most delicate and difficult to regenerate is the human brain. LÄS MER
25. Generation of cortical neurons through reprogramming technology
Sammanfattning : The human cortex is affected by several debilitating acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease, which target specific types of cortical neurons. Emerging evidence indicates that stem cells and reprogrammed cells can be used to generate human cortical neurons both for cell replacement by transplantation, and for disease modeling and drug screening.
