  1. 1. Neurogenesis from Neural Stem Cells, Ependymal Cells and Fibroblasts

    Författare :Karthikeyan Devaraju; Lund Neurologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adult neurogenesis; stroke; neural stem cells; Lnk; ependymal cells; FoxJ1; cortical reprogramming;

    Sammanfattning : Stroke is a major cause of death and disability around the world. Stroke leads to loss of neurons and also other cells in the brain due to lack of blood supply. Currently no therapies are available to treat stroke-related disability. It has been shown that stroke leads to increased neurogenesis, birth of new neurons, within the brain. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Studies on adult stem cells

    Författare :Konstantinos Meletis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : While our bodies are aging, in quite a few tissues, new cells are born every day, till the day we die. As you are reading this sentence, there is perhaps a new neuron born in your brain (and some are dying). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Regulation of postnatal neurogenesis and brain angiogenesis by thyroid hormone

    Författare :Jenny Liqun Zhang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :thyroid hormone; neurogenesis; angiogenesis; SVZ OB; hippocampus; neural stem cells; endothelial cells; astrocytes;

    Sammanfattning : Thyroid hormone (TH), which is secreted by the thyroid gland, exerts significant effects on the central nervous system (CNS), especially during development, so that delayed treatment of perinatal hypothyroidism results in severe cognitive retardation. Continuous postnatal neurogenesis occurs throughout adulthood in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle wall and in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampal formation.

  5. 4. An ependymal cell quest : identification and functional role of spinal cord neural stem cells

    Författare :Hanna Sabelström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Few injuries have as profound and long-lasting consequences as spinal cord injury. The primary areas of impaired function typically include sensation, mobility, bladder, bowel and sexual function. The economic, social and personal effects can also be devastating. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Isolation and characterization of adult neural stem cells

    Författare :Clas B Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Intermediate filaments; GFAP; nestin; scar formation; regeneration; rodent and human neural stem cells; multipotency.;

    Sammanfattning : Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) is one of man's most handicapping situations resulting in severe functional impairment and in some cases a vegetative state where life is supported artificially. The brain and spinal cord, constituting the CNS, have been viewed for decades as having limited capacity of regeneration with no neurogenesis in the adult. LÄS MER
