Wnt signaling affects cell adhesion and neuronal differentiation
(2008-05-23)
-cell interactions of committed ectodermal cells. We also showed that expression of the Wnt PCP signalling gene Vangl2 (Van gogh-like 2) was increased. Wnt7a´s influence on neuronal differentiation was studied by investigation of β-tubulin III expression, a marker...
Optimisation of dengue diagnostic tools in order to increase the knowledge of the pathogenesis
(2008-10-03)
Dengue fever (DF) is the most common global viral mosquito-borne infection, with 100 million estimated cases annually in tropical and subtropical areas. The dengue viruses (genus Flavivirus, Flaviviridae) occur in 4 serotypes (DENV-1 to DENV-4...
Prevention and intervention therapies in auditory trauma
(2009-01-16)
Hearing impairment is one of the most common health conditions in
developed countries. It is estimated that approximately 70 million people
worldwide are deaf. For patients with a severe to profound hearing loss a
cochlear ...
Epidemiological and recovery facilitating studies of an urban population of stroke patients in Iran
(2010-05-28)
-standardized incidence (to the European population) was 384 per 100,000 person-years. In study II the mean age of patients was 68 years. Hypertension was found in 64% of patients, followed by diabetes mellitus in 36%, heart disease in 34%, hypercholesterolemia in 32...
Determinants of long term course in bipolar disorder
(2010-05-14)
Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BP) is a common and severe psychiatric
illness with a high variability. An early treatment is often crucial for
a good prognosis, but it is difficult for clinicians to define high ...
Alternative splicing of interleukin-7
(2009-04-03)
to function as either agonists or as antagonists of the wildtype cytokine. Interleukin-7 (IL-7) plays a non-redundant role in early stages of normal B and T-cell development; IL-7-receptor signaling is required for the maintenance of T-cell homeostasis...
Evaluations of measurement techniques in functional dyspepsia : electrogastrography, satiety drinking test and 14C-urea breath test
(2010-08-20)
tests were done in healthy volunteers by using drinking water at 100 ml/minute or nutrient drinks at 20 and 100 ml/minute. It was found that the maximum tolerated volume (MTV) determined by slow nutrient drinking (SND) was not influenced by body mass...
Stimulus evoked transient dynamics in the primary visual cortex in vivo : voltage sensitive dye and extracellular recordings
(2008-05-22)
In this study we investigated how the primary visual cortex responds to a
change in the visual scene. In analogy to dynamical systems theory such
temporal step input gives information about the rules governing ...
Leukocyte activation in newborns in relation to prenatal stress
(2009-11-05)
The aim of this project is to describe the pattern of innate immunity responses at birth with focus on the recruitment of leukocytes such as eosinophils and neutrophils and their content of cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide ...
Applications of nanotechnology in neuroscience : functionalized superparamagnetic nanoparticles as contrast enhancers in experimental magnetic resonance imaging
(2010-04-08)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique that
helps clinicians not only to diagnose but also to plan the treatment of
invasive surgery and actually treat medical conditions. Superparamagnetic
iron ...
