  1. 21. Increased expression, but not insertion of L1 retrotransposons in aged neural stem and progenitor cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Jonas Fritze; [2015]
    Keywords : Retrotransposons; Aging; Neural Stem Cells; LINE1; APOBEC3; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Retrotransposons are mobile elements that build up an extensive part of our genome, and can create genomic instability through new insertions. LINE1 is a subtype of transposons that are still active in human and mice, and can both copy themselves, and assist other retroelements to new insertions, but are strongly regulated by different enzymes.

  3. 22. Neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells in a microfluidic system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Marc Isaksson; [2015]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The development of the human embryonic brain is a complex process involving several biological cues which interact to generate speci_c neural cells and anatomical features. There are still many questions to be addressed regarding biological key mechanisms which in case of malfunction might disturb the development of the brain. READ MORE

  4. 23. Role of Aurora kinase in Medulloblastoma development with correlation to MYCN activity

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Rashmi Chowath; [2015]
    Keywords : brain tumor; N-Myc; primary cilium; aurora kinase;

    Abstract : Brain tumors are abnormal tissue masses found, either malignant or benign in nature. Medulloblastoma is a brain tumor subtype found to arise in the hind region of the brain, which is highly malignant and has poor long term prospects in general. READ MORE

  5. 24. Stroke-induced stem cells proliferation in normal versus diabetic mice and pharmacological regulation

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Zainab Fadhel; [2015]
    Keywords : Stroke; diabetes; GLP-1; Exendin-4; neurogenesis; stem cell proliferation; animal model; mouse;

    Abstract : Introduction: Stroke is caused from the occlusion of any cerebral artery leading to cerebral ischemia, brain damage and consequent neurological impairments and disability. The primary causes of mortality in western populations is stroke. Diabetes type 2 is a high risk factor for stroke. READ MORE

  6. 25. In Vitro Platform for Basic Testing of Micro- and Nanoelectrodes Intended for Chronic Implantation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Daniel Henriksson; [2013]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Microelectrodes today and nanoelectrodes tomorrow further studies in fields of science such as neurobiology and electrophysiology, and are already in use as neural prosthetics. When electronic devices are used in biomedicine, especially when needed for chronic implantation, their ongoing downscaling is largely motivated by two aspects: biocompatibility and specificity.
