  1. 6. SOD1 prions transmit templated aggregation and fatal ALS-like disease

    Författare :Elaheh Ekhtiari Bidhendi; Thomas Brännström; Stefan L. Marklund; Peter M. Andersen; Inger Nennesmo; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; SOD1; prion; neurodegeneration; strain; seeding; protein misfolding; protein aggregation; propagation; transgenic mice; Pathology; patologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult-onset fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons. The resulting paresis begins focally, usually in one muscle, and spreads contiguously, leading to muscle wasting, progressive paralysis and eventually death. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Using patient-derived cell models to investigate the role of misfolded SOD1 in ALS

    Författare :Elin Forsgren; Jonathan Gilthorpe; Stefan Marklund; Peter Andersen; Thomas Brännström; Ulrika Nordström; Séverine Boillée; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :ALS; SOD1; patient-derived models; induced pluripotent stem cells; motor neurons; astrocytes; 20S proteasome low oxygen tension; misfolded SOD1; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Protein misfolding and aggregation underlie several neurodegenerative proteinopathies including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was the first gene found to be associated with familial ALS. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Quantitative Demarcation of Glioblastoma Using 5-Aminolevulinic Acid

    Författare :Neda Haj-Hosseini; Karin Wårdell; Göran Salerud; Peter E Andersen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Total resection of glioblastoma, the highly malignant brain tumor, is difficult to accomplish due to its diffuse growth and similarity to the surrounding brain tissue. A total resection is proven to increase patient survival. LÄS MER

  5. 9. On the aetiology of ALS : a comprehensive genetic study

    Författare :Caroline Ingre; Peter M Andersen; Rayomand Press; Siddharthan Chandran; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; risk factor; VAPB; SOD1; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ATXN2; SMN1; SMN2; PFN1; 50 bp deletion in SOD1 promotor; population-specific genetic variations; Neurology; neurologi;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a deadly, progressive neuromuscular disease that affects individuals all over the world. About 10% of the patients have a familial predisposition (FALS) while the remainder of cases are isolated or sporadic (SALS) and of unknown cause. LÄS MER

  7. 10. SOD, ORF and ALS: On the role of SOD1 and C9ORF72 in the pathogenesis of ALS

    Författare :Isil Keskin; Peter M. Andersen; Lars Lannfelt; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALS; SOD1; Misfolded species;

    Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by adult-onset degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Symptoms begin focally in one muscle and then spread contiguously, resulting in progressive paralysis and death from respiratory failure. LÄS MER
