6. What modulates telomere dynamics? : Inheritance, developmental effects, and physiological challenges
Sammanfattning : Telomeres are the conservative sequence repeats located at the end of linear chromosomes that have been the focus of intensive research across many disciplines over the last four decades. They function as a cap to protect the chromosome ends from fusion to other chromosomes and to prevent chromosome degradation. LÄS MER
7. Short- and long-term neuronal plasticity in hippocampal CA1 region of rat
Sammanfattning : The brain is highly plastic, displaying both short- and long-term changes, resulting from developmental processes as well as learning and memory. Moreover, short-term plasticity such as paired pulse facilitation and depression (PPF, PPD) have long been used to monitor the presynaptic versus postsynaptic changes occurring during more lasting processes such as long-term potentiation and depression (LTP, LTD).

8. Autistic-like traits
Sammanfattning : Introduction Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by restrictions in social interaction, understanding, and communication, by stereotyped patterns of repetitive behaviors, and by narrow interests. ASDs, which affect about 1% of the population, are predominantly genetic, but no single explanation has been found. LÄS MER
9. Cochlear implantation : experimental and clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Cochlear implantation makes hearing restoration possible in patients with severe to profound hearing loss. However, patients with residual hearing, where a cochlear implant may be combined with acoustic stimulation, and children with malformed cochleae, where the surgery itself as well as language training may be a challenge, are two important groups of patients that require special procedures.

10. Robust and Efficient Cell-Based Models of Tissue Mechanics
Sammanfattning : Cell-based models of tissue mechanics have become an important tool in cancer research and developmental biology. Complementary to wet-lab experiments, they allow for cost-efficient in-silico evaluation of mechanisms not easily probed in the lab. LÄS MER
