  1. 1. Satellite cells in human skeletal muscle : molecular identification quantification and function

    Författare :Mona Lindström; Lars-Eric Thornell; Hannu Kalimo; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; satellite cell markers; NCAM; Pax7; MyoD; myogenin; DLK1 FA1; c-Met; human skeletal muscle; immunohistochemistry; muscle growth; muscle hypertrophy; Morphology; cell biology; pathology; Morfologi; cellbiologi; patologi; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Sammanfattning : Skeletal muscle satellite cells located between the plasma membrane and the basal lamina of muscle fibres, could for many years, only be studied in situ by electron microscopy. The introduction of immunohistochemistry and the discovery of molecular markers of satellite cells then made them accessible for light microscopic studies and a wealth of information is today available.

  3. 2. GDNF and its receptors : a structure-function analysis of the NCAM-GDNF-GFRalpha1 complex and an examination of potential receptor candidates

    Författare :Dan Sjöstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neurotrophic factors are small, secreted proteins that are important players in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Their functions span from neuronal survival and migration to neurite outgrowth and axon guidance, and in some cases even programmed cell death. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Specification and potency of human neural stem cells for clinical transplantation

    Författare :Per Henrik Vincent; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neural stem cells hold promise for future treatment of spinal cord injury. Various aspects regarding cell fate specification, manufacturing and monitoring, with implications for clinical applications of these cells, are discussed herein. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Extraocular Muscles in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

    Författare :Anton Tjust; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Mona Lindström; Thomas Brännström; Eva Hedlund; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; EOM; Satellite cells; innervation; neuromuscular disease; neurodegenerative disease; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease of motor neurons characterized by muscle paralysis and death within 3-5 years of onset. However, due to unknown mechanisms, the extraocular muscles (EOMs) remain remarkably unaffected. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Control of neuronal survival, migration and outgrowth by GDNF and its receptors

    Författare :Maurice Perrinjaquet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is the prototypical member of a family of growth factors that are indispensable in nervous system development and maintenance. GDNF signals by binding to a multi-component receptor complex comprised of the ligand-binding subunit GFRα1 and the signaling subunit RET or NCAM. LÄS MER
