6. Neuronal and glial differentiation of expanded neural stem and progenitor cells; in vitro and after transplantation
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we have used cells dissected from the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE), the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), and the cortical primordium of the embryonic mouse forebrain. The tissue was dissected from either i) wild-type mice, ii) green fluorescent protein (GFP)-, or iii) Gtv-a-expressing transgenic mice, and subsequently grown and expanded in vitro using two different protocols.

7. The role of glial cells in alpha-synuclein pathology : Focus on degradation, cell-to-cell propagation and inflammation
Sammanfattning : Growing evidence emphasizes the role of astrocytes and microglia in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, little is known about their impact on specific disease processes and if their involvement is beneficial or detrimental. LÄS MER
8. From dopamine nerve fiber formation to astrocytes
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and characterized by the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra in the midbrain. The causes of the disease are still unknown. LÄS MER
9. Heparan Sulfate in the Amyloidosis and Inflammation of Alzheimer’s Disease
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, with extensive evidence implicating the misfolding, aggregation and deposition of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide as central to the pathogenesis. Heparan sulfate (HS) is an interactive glycosaminoglycan, attached to core proteins as HS proteoglycans (HSPGs). LÄS MER
10. Micro-environmental control of tumor differentiation and invasiveness
Sammanfattning : The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family participates in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. In early stages of tumorigenesis, TGFβ promotes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis; however, in advanced malignancies, TGFβ promotes tumor cell migration and metastasis via the induction of epithelial-tomesenchymal transition (EMT).
