11. Adult neurogenesis : from stem cell to functional neuron
Sammanfattning : The adult mammalian central nervous system harbors a population of neural stem cells with the ability to generate neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. These pluripotent cells can be enriched in vitro, and by directing their differentiation it would be possible to generate populations of specific neural cell types to use for transplantation. LÄS MER
12. Manifolds in Image Science and Visualization
Sammanfattning : A Riemannian manifold is a mathematical concept that generalizes curved surfaces to higher dimensions, giving a precise meaning to concepts like angle, length, area, volume and curvature. A glimpse of the consequences of a non-flat geometry is given on the sphere, where the shortest path between two points – a geodesic – is along a great circle. LÄS MER
13. Adult neural stem cells and their differentiation choices : examples from experimental inflammation and transplantation
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to study how inflammation influences the fate of NPCs, which can impact the regenerative capacities of the CNS. In paper I, we used a hypoglossal nerve avulsion model, to study if survival, differentiation, and integration of transplanted NPCs could be achieved. LÄS MER
14. Neurogenic and inflammatory response in the rodent brain following stroke
Sammanfattning : Stroke and in this case cerebral infarction affects 20 million people each year and five million of them die. In Sweden 30-35000 people will be affected and one of three of them will be severely disabled. In addition, one of six will suffer a new stroke within six years. LÄS MER
15. Functional role of cerebrospinal fluid contacting cells in the spinal cord and hypothalamus
Sammanfattning : Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting (CSF-c) cells are found lining the walls of the central canal and the ventricles throughout the vertebrate phylum, but their function has remained elusive. The aim here was to investigate the physiological role of CSF-c cells in the spinal cord and hypothalamus. LÄS MER
