These symptoms are dependent on cytokines produced at the site of inflammation. LÄS MER
2. Mechanisms of sensory neuron diversification during development and in the adult Drosophila : How to make a difference
Sammanfattning : The nervous system contains a vast number of neurons and displays a great diversity in cell types and classes. Even though this has been known for a long time, the exact mechanism of cell specification is still poorly understood. LÄS MER

AUD is a chronic relapsing disease with escalation of alcohol-intake over time in repeated cycles of tolerance, abstinence and relapse and hence, it is very difficult to treat. LÄS MER
4. Neuroprotective Effect of Genistein : Studies in Rat Models of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease

It is believed that oxidative stress is involved in development of both these diseases and that estrogen deficiency is a risk factor for development of AD. LÄS MER
