  1. 11. Regeneration of Peripheral Nerves. The role of protein kinases, with emphasis on neurotrophic factor stimulation

    Författare :Peter Wiklund; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NT-4; NT-3; NGF; MAPK; PKG; PKA; PKC; nodose ganglion; DRG; conditioning effect; neurotrophic factors; protein kinases; peripheral; nerve regeneration; BDNF; GDNF; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of protein kinases in peripheral nerve regeneration, with the use of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and nodose ganglia explants from adult mice. The effects of neurotrophic factor stimulation and protein kinase inhibition were studied for long (days) and short term (minutes) effects. LÄS MER

  3. 12. On dopamine neurons : nerve fiber outgrowth and L-DOPA effects

    Författare :Sara af Bjerkén; Ingrid Strömberg; Kathy Steece-Collier; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dopamine; nerve fiber outgrowth; astrocytes; ventral mesencephalon; GDNF; L-DOPA; L-DOPA induced dyskinesia; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease is a disorder mainly characterized by progressive degeneration of dopamine producing neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. The most commonly used treatment strategy is to pharmacologically restore the lost function by the administration of the dopaminergic precursor L-DOPA. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Biochemical and biomechanical modulation of the in vitro retina

    Författare :Linnéa Taylor; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retina; in vitro; modulation; biomechanics; glutamate; GDNF; stretch; Müller cells; Photoreceptors; gliosis;

    Sammanfattning : The porcine retinal explant culture paradigm offers the possibility to study retinal health, disease and development independently from the surrounding tissues of the eye. Retina-intrinsic effects of molecular and mechanical cues on the isolated retinal sheet can thus be studied with great precision. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide : Expression and neurotrophic activity in the rat brain

    Författare :Ylva Skoglösa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; in situ hybridisation; rat; TBI; BDNF; NGF; GDNF; PACAP; PRI; TUNEL; apoptosis; CNS; PNS; neuropeptides; neurotrophic factors; reactive oxygen species; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Neurotrophic factors play an important role in regulating naturally occurring cell death during neurogenesis. In addition to classical neurotrophic factors, some neurotransmitters and neuropeptides have been shown to exhibit neurotrophic activities. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Neurotrophic signalling by GDNF and its receptors

    Författare :Miles Trupp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Many investigators have sought a polypeptide which would alleviate the neuronal loss associated with Parkinson's disease--specifically dopaminergic neurons of the ventral mesencephalon. The survival of this population of neurons has been known for some time to be promoted by soluble factors present in the conditioned media of glial cell lines. LÄS MER
