1. Cell Replacement Therapy for Parkinson's Disease: Potential for Circuitry Repair
Sammanfattning : The derivation of dopamine neurons from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) now offers a promising alternative to fetal tissue for cell replacement therapy (CRT) in Parkinson´s disease (PD). Using the appropriate chemical cues in vitro, hESCs can be patterned towards bona-fide ventral midbrain (VM) DA neurons that survive, reinnervate, release DA and provide functional recovery when transplanted into rodent and non-human primate models of PD.

2. Resource recovery from wastewater treatment: challenges, opportunities and guidance for planning and implementation
Sammanfattning : Considering the current resources scarcity, Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) should be adapted to become more sustainable. For example, it is possible to recover resources present in municipal wastewater. LÄS MER
3. Beyond Th1 and Treg : intestinal T helper cells in disease and tolerance
Sammanfattning : The human intestinal tract is not only one of the largest organs by surface area in our bodies but also harbors the greatest number of immune cells. These cells are crucial for maintaining tolerance towards the various food and microbial antigens and mounting protective inflammatory responses towards invading pathogens. LÄS MER
4. The New Portuguese Presence in Angola: Traces, Emplacements and Interactions of a Postcolonial Encounter
Sammanfattning : Propelled by the impact of the Euro-crisis in the Portuguese economy and job market and the booming economy in Angola, during the last decade a great number of Portuguese workers migrated to the former colony. At the same time, Angolan investors made important acquisitions in key sectors of the Portuguese economy. LÄS MER
5. Site-specific recombination in P2-like coliphages
Sammanfattning : The scope of these studies has been to investigate the site-specific recombination systems of P2-like coliphages, both in an evolutionary perspective by a comparative analysis of related phages as well as in a functional perspective. Surveys of P2-like phages in Escherichia coli isolated from nature reveal the existence of seven discrete immunity classes and three integration sites, one of them previously unknown. LÄS MER
