Adult human neural stem cells : properties in vitro and as xenografts in the spinal cord
(2005-05-27)
Though the presence of stem cells in the adult human brain has been
presented earlier, much has yet to be discovered about these cells.
However, the mere potential of these cells has had a significant impact
of how we ...
Alcohol and inflammation : a study of effects of ethanol on endothelial and epithelial cell functions
(2007-10-26)
Although short–term alcohol drinking causes euphoric and stress relieving effects, alcohol abuse is a major risk factor for neurobehavioural, liver and muscle injury as well as reduced host defence with enhanced susceptibility ...
Psoriasis : studies of phenotype at onset and of associated cardiovascular morbidity
(2005-08-12)
Psoriasis is a complex inflammatory skin disorder, affecting 2-3% of the population in the western world. The etiology of psoriasis is not yet known. However it is likely that its pathogenesis involves interplay between ...

Virus-host interactions : entry and replication of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus
(2014-04-25)
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe acute human disease with potential lethal outcome caused by a virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). Not much is known regarding how CCHFV infects cells, ...
Adult neural stem cells in neuroinflammation
(2008-01-03)
Adult neural stem cells (NSC) can be isolated from the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles, the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampus and the central canal of the spinal cord. These cells are thought ...
