1. 1. Functional morphology of mammalian rhinariumn skin

   Författare :Inga Tuminaite; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nasolabial; skin; epidermis; cutaneous innervation; canine; vascularization; cold acclimatization;

   Sammanfattning : The naked skin surrounding the nostrils in most mammals is called a rhinarium. Rhinarium skin exhibits several unique characteristics, including an ultrastructure of pits or furrows on surface corneocytes, formed in a unique epidermal differentiation process (Paper I). LÄS MER

3. 2. Functional organisation and population behaviour of human peripheral nerve fibres : a microneurography study

   Författare :Gung Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :human somatosensory system; nerve organisation; peripheral nerve; cutaneous mechanoreceptors; skin innervation; microneurography; microelectrode;

   Sammanfattning : With regard to the intraneural organisation of peripheral nerves findings obtained from previous anatomical and physiological studies appear to be controversial. The conventional concept seems to be that peripheral nerves lack a detailed topographical organisation. LÄS MER

4. 3. Studies on nerve terminations in human mucosa and skin

   Författare :Marita Hilliges; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Epithelium; herpes simplex; immunohistochemisry; Merkel cell; mucosa; nerves; oral; PGP 9.5; skin; stereology; urinary incontinence; vagina.;

   Sammanfattning : In spite of their accessibility and important sensory function, the nervous tissue components of human oral and vaginal mucosa and skin have been subject to very few, if any, systematic investigations. Studies on the innervation of oral tissues have mainly focused on the dental pulp, the periodontium and the gingiva, probably because of specific clinical interest, thus largely neglecting the mucosa.

5. 4. Expression and function of GDNF family ligands and receptors in the nervous system

   Författare :Åsa Mikaels; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The search for novel neurotrophic factors promoting dopamine uptake and the survival of central dopaminergic neurons led to the discovery of a novel neurotrophic factor termed glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). GDNF, neurturin (NTN), artemin (ART) and persephin (PSP) belong to the GDNF family ligands, and are potent survival-promoting factors for subsets of central and peripheral neurons. LÄS MER

7. 5. Changes in sensory systems during aging : an experimental study in the rat

   Författare :Esbjörn Bergman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :aging; behavior; primary sensory neuron; dorsal root ganglion; mystacial pad; sensory nerve ending; axon dystrophy; neuropeptides; B4; RT97; CTB; neurotrophins; trk; p75NTR; GFR[alpha]; RET; protein; mRNA;

   Sammanfattning : Aging is associated with sensorimotor disturbances, including increased proprioceptive thresholds. The present study aimed to clarify the occurrence of structural and biochemical alterations in sensory systems of behaviorally characterized aged rats. LÄS MER
