1. 6. Gene therapy in epilepsy: neuropeptides and neurotrophic factors

   Författare :Irene Kanter Schlifke; Lund Wallenberg Neurocentrum; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; piriform cortex; hippocampus; neuropsykologi; encapsulated cells; viral vectors; GDNF; galanin; epilepsy; gene therapy; neurofysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of epilepsy among adult patients, and the most problematic one as seizures cannot be controlled by currently available drugs in 30 % of patients. Gene therapy based on overexpression of endogenous anti-epileptic agents such as the neuropeptide galanin and the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) represents a promising new approach for treatment of TLE.

3. 7. Targeted gene transfer in the developing central nervous system using viral vectors

   Författare :Simon Stott; Brain Repair and Imaging in Neural Systems (BRAINS); []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; gene transfer; in utero; neonatal; GDNF; nigrostriatal; dopamine; AAV; retrovirus; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter that plays a fundamental role in many aspects of normal brain function. The majority of DA neurons in the brain reside in one region ? the midbrain ? and project axonal connections to specific areas. One of the main target regions of the DA system is the striatum.

4. 8. Development and preclinical assessment of novel therapies for Epilepsy. Exploring the potential of human-derived cell lines and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor for network inhibition

   Författare :Eliska Waloschkova; Epilepsicentrum; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epilepsy; epileptogenesis; inhibition; cell therapy; GABAergic interneurons; mesenchymal stem cells; GDNF;

   Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is one of the leading neurological disorders affecting not only patients who suffer from seizures but also people around them and society in general. The striking one third of patients not responding to pharmacological treatments implies the necessity of developing alternative options for controlling seizures in these individuals. LÄS MER

5. 9. Central nervous modulation of pain - a clinical and experimental study

   Författare :Christopher Lundborg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :pain; head and neck; cisterna magna; baroreflex; noradrenaline; GDNF; co-cultured astrocytes; naloxon; osteoarthritis; calcium;

   Sammanfattning : This series of studies addresses several conceptual issues in modern pain therapy related to the contemporary understanding of mechanisms and modulators involved in the pain sensation. Novel invasive therapy for severe pain, neurogenic interactions, humoral regulators and cellular responses were studied. LÄS MER

7. 10. Advancing gene therapy for epilepsy. Translational pre-clinical studies with neuropeptide Y and glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor

   Författare :Esbjörn Melin; Epilepsicentrum; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epilepsy; Gene Therapy; neuropeptide Y NPY ; Y2 receptor; GDNF; Encapsulated cell biodelivery; seizure; In-vivo;

   Sammanfattning : Epilepsy is a neurological disorder, affecting approximately 1% of the population. The high rate of drug-resistance in epilepsy in general (30%), and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) in particular, pose a serious clinical problem. Thus, novel treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy is highly warranted. LÄS MER
