   Keywords : ALS; SOD1; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; superoxide dismutase; CRISPR Cas9; sgRNA; stem cell; lentivirus; qPCR; FOXG1; nestin; immunocytochemistry; differentiation; forebrain neural progenitor; Applied Biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the degeneration and death of both upper and lower motor neurons for which there is no cure currently available. The degeneration of motor neurons leads to the inability to carry out voluntary movement and death usually occurs 3-5 years after disease onset by respiratory failure. READ MORE

5. 24. Characterization of geographical variation in antioxidative active Eucalyptus camaldulensis extracts : for future use as biopesticides in Burkina Faso

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi
