  1. 11. Generation of cortical neurons through reprogramming technology

    Författare :Giedre Miskinyte; Lund Neurologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cortex; Reprogramming; human ES cells; transcription factor programming; cortical projection neurons; Human adult cortical slices;

    Sammanfattning : The human cortex is affected by several debilitating acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease, which target specific types of cortical neurons. Emerging evidence indicates that stem cells and reprogrammed cells can be used to generate human cortical neurons both for cell replacement by transplantation, and for disease modeling and drug screening.

  3. 12. Anti-epileptic and neuroprotective mechanisms by Topiramate and Levetiracetam evaluated in primary cultures

    Författare :Mikael Ängehagen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :calcium imaging; phosphorylation; kainate; glutamate; caffeine; cerebral cortex; hippocampus; field potentials; neurons; astrocytes;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate plausible intracellular mechanisms of action for antiepileptic drugs, Topiramate (TPM) and Levetiracetam (LEV), and to investigate if TPM possesses neuroprotective properties. The thesis is based on results from calcium imaging, immunohistochemical stainings, viability tests, and Western blot using primary cortical or hippocampal cultures, or hippocampal brain slices.

  4. 13. In vitro cellular models for neurotoxicity studies : neurons derived from P19 cells

    Författare :Dina Popova; Jacobsson Stig O.P.; Anna Forsby; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurotoxicity; Neuronal cell culture; P19 cells; SH-SY5Y cells; βIII-tubulin; Methylmercury; Okadaic acid; Acrylamide; MDMA; Piperazine-derived designer drugs.;

    Sammanfattning : Humans are exposed to a variety of chemicals including environmental pollutants, cosmetics, food preservatives and drugs. Some of these substances might be harmful to the human body. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Generating GABAergic interneurons through reprogramming and differentiation strategies : English

    Författare :Andreas Bruzelius; Regenerativ neurofysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; interneurons; neuronal reprogramming; glial progenitor cells; neuronal differentiation; human embryonic stem cells; induced neurons; somatostatin; parvalbumin;

    Sammanfattning : In recent years reprogramming techniques, differentiation protocols, and sequencing analysis have opened a field for generating and studying human-derived neurons with greater potential than ever before. This has generated a large number of studies with the goal of deriving bona fide neurons. LÄS MER

  7. 15. CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies and the role of astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease

    Författare :Evangelos Konstantinidis; Martin Ingelsson; Anna Erlandsson; Vilmantas Giedraitis; Magnus Essand; Harald Steiner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Parkinson s disease; gene editing; CRISPR Cas9; amyloid-beta; astrocytes; neurons; iPSCs; electrophysiology;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Whereas the AD brain features plaques of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles of tau, the PD brain is characterized by Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites containing α-synuclein (αSyn). LÄS MER
