16. In vitro cellular models for neurotoxicity studies : neurons derived from P19 cells
Sammanfattning : Humans are exposed to a variety of chemicals including environmental pollutants, cosmetics, food preservatives and drugs. Some of these substances might be harmful to the human body. LÄS MER
17. Interactive mechanism between beta-amyloid process, alfa7 nicotinic receptor, glial cell activation and oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia with pathological features including the accumulation of neuritic plaques (NPs) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). These degenerative processes are also accompanied by impaired cholinergic transmission, oxidative stress, activated glia and inflammation reaction. LÄS MER
18. MIR, a novel ERM-like protein in the nervous system
Sammanfattning : Proteins of the band 4.1 superfamily are characterized by their sequence similarity to the ERM proteins ezrin, radixin and moesin, which are involved in cell motility, adhesion of cells, and signal transduction events. LÄS MER
19. GDNF and its receptors : a structure-function analysis of the NCAM-GDNF-GFRalpha1 complex and an examination of potential receptor candidates
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
20. Molecular mechanisms of metal toxicity in neuronal cells
Sammanfattning : Modification of signal transduction by toxic agents can affect cell metabolism and physiological activity, impair cell capacity to adequately respond to hormones and growth stimuli and consequently compromise cell survival. This thesis describes studies on the interactions between toxic metals, at concentrations comparable to environmental exposure, and Ca2+ signalling in neuronal cells. LÄS MER
