1. 11. Modulation of Neuronal Functions : the Role of SLC10A4

   Författare :Kalicharan Patra; Klas Kullander; Håkan Aldskogius; Per Svenningsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dopamine; acetylcholine; central nervous system; neuromuscular junctions; electrophysiology; monoamine; synaptic transmission; neuromodulation; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Mental health of a person depends on the correct functioning of the brain. The brain and the spinal cord contain many types of cells, of which one important type are called the neurons. Neurons are special in the way they connect to each other to form large networks. LÄS MER

3. 12. Inertial motion capture for ambulatory analysis of human movement and balance

   Författare :Fredrik Olsson; Kjartan Halvorsen; Peter H. Veltink; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Inertial sensors; Human motion capture; Calibration; Neuromuscular control; Human balance; Tremor quantification;

   Sammanfattning : Inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) are ubiquitous in today’s society, where they can be found in many of our everyday mobile devices. These sensors are capable of recording the movement of the device, and by extension, the movement of humans carrying or interacting with the device. LÄS MER

4. 13. Cellular studies of neuromuscular disorders related to the sarcomeric proteins

   Författare :Saba Abdul-Hussein; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myogenesis; myoblast; sarcomeric myopathy; TPM2; TRIM54; TRIM63;

   Sammanfattning : Sarcomere is the basic unit of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction and its proper function requires an invariant organization of this structure. Mutations in sarcomeric proteins are known to cause increasing number of different cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases. LÄS MER

5. 14. Regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase - Consequences in experimental models of bladder disease

   Författare :Rebecka Johansson; Avdelningen för klinisk kemi och farmakologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; smooth muscle-myosin heavy chain; Pharmacological sciences; pharmacognosy; farmakognosi; farmaci; actin; BDNF; Rho; aminoguanidine; TNF-alpha; IL-1beta; hypertrophy; differentiation; smooth muscle; bladder; nitric oxide; inducible nitric oxide synthase; toxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression is associated with various pathophysiological conditions in the lower urinary tract. The aims of this thesis have been to investigate the regulation of iNOS in bladder smooth muscle cells and the consequences on neuromuscular regulation, cell growth and differentiation. LÄS MER

7. 15. Neurons and glia in the peripheral nervous system : interactions in health and disease

   Författare :Filipa Bouçanova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is composed of nerves and ganglia that connect the brain and the spinal cord (the central nervous system, CNS) to the outside world. The nerves contain the extensions (axons) of both sensory and motor neurons, which allow us to detect and respond to different stimuli. LÄS MER
