  4. 43. Skillnader i patogenesen för intervertebral diskdegeneration mellan kondrodystrofa och icke kondrodystrofa raser

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Jonathan Sverud; [2017]
    Keywords : intervertebral diskdegeneration; diskbråck; kondrodystrofa raser; icke kondrodystrofa raser; patogenes; hund;

    Abstract : Diskbråck är en vanlig åkomma hos hundar som kan ge allt ifrån ryggsmärta till förlamning. En intervertebral disk (IVD) är placerad mellan kotkropparna och består av nucleus pulposus (NP) i mitten, omsluten av annulus fibrosus (AF).

  6. 45. Towards Identifying Pharmacodynamic Blood Biomarkers of MAP3K12 Inhibition

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Elisabeth Jirström; [2017]
    Keywords : Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase; MAP3K12; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; DLK; ALS; Pharmacodynamic; Biomarker; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences; Medicine and Health Sciences; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, for which there is no cure. Activation of the stress-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway, a critical mediator of neuronal apoptosis and axon degeneration, is evident in ALS and is therefore considered a potential target to prevent neurodegeneration.
