  1. 1. Understanding Cancer Mutations by Genome Editing

    Författare :Muhammad Akhtar Ali; Tobias Associate Professor; Thierry Soussi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genome editing; rAAV; ZBED6; DIP2C; KRAS; BRAF; colorectal cancer; tumor driver genes; cancer pathways;

    Sammanfattning : Mutational analyses of cancer genomes have identified novel candidate cancer genes with hitherto unknown function in cancer. To enable phenotyping of mutations in such genes, we have developed a scalable technology for gene knock-in and knock-out in human somatic cells based on recombination-mediated construct generation and a computational tool to design gene targeting constructs.

  2. 2. The Complex Genetics behind Neurodegeneration and Susceptibility to Parkinson’s disease

    Författare :Michael Jewett; Translationell Neurogenetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s Disease; α-synuclein; Dopaminergic Neurons; Susceptibility; GSTA4; Vra1; rAAV; 6-OHDA; En1; Linkage analysis; Congenic strains; Axonal swellings; QTL; Risk factors; Neuroprotection; Astrocytes;

    Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and affects over 1% of people above the age of 65. This progressive and debilitating disease is usually thought of as a motor disease, with symptoms such as muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, and tremor at rest. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Psychiatric and metabolic disturbances in experimental models of Huntington’s disease

    Författare :Sofia Hult Lundh; Translationell neuroendokrinologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington’s disease; huntingtin; hypothalamus; depression; anxiety; metabolism; neuroendocrinology; mouse models; BACHD; rAAV vectors; leptin;

    Sammanfattning : Non-motor symptoms and signs such as metabolic and psychiatric disturbances have been reported to occur early in Huntington’s disease (HD), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene. However, there is a lack of understanding of the underlying neurobiological mechanisms responsible for the early non-motor features. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Generation of induced neurons via direct conversion in vivo and in vitro

    Författare :Olof Torper; Neurobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cellular reprogramming; cell replacement therapies; induced dopaminergic neurons; in vivo reprogramming; Lentiviral vectors; AAV vectors;

    Sammanfattning : Cellular reprogramming is when one cell is changed into another. This involves structural modifications on the DNA of a cell resulting in a transcriptional change. This occurs naturally during development when early pluripotent cells gradually differentiate into more specialized cells that finally result in a complete organism. LÄS MER
