  1. 6. Neurogenesis, neural stem cells and nitric oxide in neuroinflammation

    Författare :Alexandre I Danilov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Neurogenesis; neuronal stem cells; nitric oxide; Multiple Sclerosis; EAE; brain trauma;

    Sammanfattning : We investigated whether nitric oxide (NO) is produced in MS patients, determining the concentrations of its oxidation products (NOx) in CSF. The total levels of NOx in CSF were significantly increased in all MS groups as compared to healthy controls and tension headache patients. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Progenitor cells in the brainstem and filum terminale

    Författare :Michael Fagerlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :brainstem;

    Sammanfattning : Neurogenesis prevails in the adult mammalian CNS. New neurons are constitutively formed invivo in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricle wall and in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus. LÄS MER

  4. 8. The development and potential of spinal cord stem and progenitor cells

    Författare :Xiaofei Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an incurable condition, which is mainly due to the highly limited regenerative potential of the adult spinal cord. The discovery of ependymal cells as the source of spinal cord stem cells raises hopes for the development of new therapies, while cell transplantations for SCI also provide promising means for potential treatments.

  5. 9. Neural stem cells in the spinal cord : identity, function and potential

    Författare :Moa Stenudd; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : A large body of work has been dedicated to understanding and remedying the pathological processes that take place after spinal cord injury. Despite these efforts, treatment options are limited and patients with spinal cord injury are left with life-long disability. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Pathological responses of glial cells in spinal cord injury and rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Teresa Fernández Zafra; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Scientists have considered glia as mere passive allies of neurons for a long time. As a consequence, their functions have been greatly underestimated. Major discoveries made in the last three decades have changed our view on glial cells and it is now accepted that they play important roles in health and disease. LÄS MER
