1. Neurogenesis from Neural Stem Cells, Ependymal Cells and Fibroblasts
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
2. Genetic Sex Differences in Early Human Neuronal Development : An Investigation in Embryo Tissue and Embryonic Stem Cells
Sammanfattning : Sex differences in the human body affect many different organs and tissues, some of them have an effect on the human brain and its development. In the developing nervous system, sex differences can bias the number or functionality of neurons, glial cells or synapses. As a result, neural networks might develop with a sex-specific bias.

3. Characterisation of human fetal mesenchymal stem cells
Sammanfattning : Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are present in various tissues of fetal and adult origin. I isolated and expanded MSCs from human fetal 1st trimester livers and observed that they have a shorter cell doubling time compared to adult bone marrow-derived MSCs. LÄS MER
4. Cellular pathways and molecular regulation of hematopoietic stem cells
Sammanfattning : Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined by their unique properties to self-renew and differentiate into all hematopoietic cell lineages. Residing in the bone marrow (BM), adult HSCs are organized in a hierarchy of cells that differ in their self-renewal and proliferative capacity. LÄS MER
5. Switching ON Fetal B Lymphopoiesis
Sammanfattning : B-1a cells are innate-like lymphocytes that develop primarily during fetal and neonatal life, whereas adult bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) preferentially give rise to follicular B-2 cells. Functioning at the interface of the innate and adaptive immune systems, B-1a cells provide a non-redundant first line of defense prior to the temporally delayed establishment of a B-2 cell response.
