  1. 21. Organization of the spinal locomotor network in zebrafish : pattern of recruitment and origin of excitatory drive

    Författare :Emma Eklöf Ljunggren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Locomotion is of vital importance for animals to survive in a complex environment. Locomotor movements are generated by neuronal networks that reside in the spinal cord and are composed of motoneurons and interneurons. LÄS MER

  3. 22. An exploration of the mechanisms behind peripheral nerve injury

    Författare :Rebecca Wiberg; Liudmila Novikova; Paul Kingham; Ash Mosahebi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peripheral nerve injury; target organ; spinal motoneurons; primary sensory neurons; degeneration; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Sammanfattning : Despite surgical innovation, the sensory and motor outcome after peripheral nerve injury is incomplete. In this thesis, the biological pathways potentially responsible for the poor functional recoveries were investigated in both the distal nerve stump/target organ, spinal motoneurons and dorsal root ganglia (DRG).

  4. 23. Studies on the phenotype of LXRβ-/- mice : from malabsorption to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

    Författare :Chiara Gabbi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Liver X Receptors, LXRalpha and LXRbeta (NR1H2) are nuclear receptors belonging to the superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors with a key role in the control of lipid and glucose metabolism. Studies of the phenotype of LXRalpha-/-mice and LXRbeta-/-mice have shown that these nuclear receptors have specific and distinct roles, although they share very high sequence homology (78%).

  5. 24. On functions of neurotrophic factors in taste buds and teeth

    Författare :Irina Vukmanovic Nosrat; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Chemosensory disorders affect approximately 15% of the U.S. population and an estimated 200,000 individuals visit a doctor each year for problems with their ability to taste or smell (NIDCD). LÄS MER

  7. 25. Central and peripheral adaptation after nerve repair with a synthetic biocompatible adhesive

    Författare :Thomas Landegren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The epineural repair technique is currently the accepted standard for peripheral nerve repair. However, due to the demanding nature of this method, it is not uncommon to delay or even omit action, especially in situations which are associated with extensive traumatic injuries. LÄS MER
