1. Physiological roles of amyloid precursor protein in vivo - zebrafish as a model
Sammanfattning : Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) is an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein expressed in many different tissues. APP belongs to a gene family consisting of two other APP-like proteins (APLP1 and APLP2). LÄS MER
2. Structure and function of trigeminal primary sensory neurons after peripheral nerve injury
Sammanfattning : Iatrogenic injuries to branches of the trigeminal nerve are common during surgical procedures in the jaws and teeth, and as the repercussion of facial fractures or certain pathologies. A portion of these patients are left with disturbed sensory functions, and some with unpleasant abnormal sensations, including pain. LÄS MER
3. Expression and regulation of neuronal messenger molecules : focus on the NO-cGMP pathway and galanin in autonomic and sensory neurons
Sammanfattning : The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric divisions. The sympathetic pre- and paravertebral neurons are in principle of noradrenergic phenotype. However, originally pharmacological experiments indicated that sympathetic fibers projecting to the sweat glands are cholinergic. LÄS MER
4. Messenger molecules and receptors in the human trigeminovascular system
Sammanfattning : The initiation of a migraine attack involves a primary central nervous system dysfunction with subsequent activation of the trigeminovascular system. In trigeminal ganglia, the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. LÄS MER
5. Pain-related sodium channels in sensory neurons : gene expression during development and after injury
Sammanfattning : Pain that goes on over years as a result of nerve damage is an affliction which disables millions of people worldwide. Chronic injury-induced pain can become severely debilitating and extremely difficult to treat. LÄS MER
