Is There a Glass Ceiling in Sweden
James Albrecht,James Albrecht,James Albrecht,Anders Björklund,Anders Björklund,Susan Vroman,Susan Vroman +6 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that the gender log wage gap in Sweden increases throughout the wage distribution and accelerates in the upper tail of the distribution, which they interpret as a glass ceiling effect, and examined whether this pattern can be asribed primarily to gender differences in labor market characteristics or to gender difference in rewards to those characteristics.

Reconstruction of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway by intracerebral nigral transplants
Anders Björklund,Ulf Stenevi +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that transplants of embryonic substantia nigra, implanted into the parietal cortex m adult rats, are able to establish a new dopamlnerglc input to the previously denervated neostrlatum, and that the newly-formed 'nigrostHatal' DA pathway may compensate for at least some aspects of the lesion-induced motor disturbances.

Is There a Glass Ceiling in Sweden
TL;DR: The authors showed that the gender log wage gap in Sweden increases throughout the wage distribution and accelerates in the upper tail, interpreting this as a strong glass ceiling effect and using quantile regression decompositions to examine whether this pattern can be ascribed primarily to gender differences in labor market characteristics or in the rewards to those characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct conversion of human fibroblasts to dopaminergic neurons
Ulrich Pfisterer,Agnete Kirkeby,Olof Torper,James Wood,Jenny Nelander,Audrey Dufour,Anders Björklund,Olle Lindvall,Johan Jakobsson,Malin Parmar +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the same strategy can be applied to human embryonic and postnatal fibroblasts and it is demonstrated that the converted neurons can be directed toward distinct functional neurotransmitter phenotypes when the appropriate transcriptional cues are provided together with the three conversion factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine release from nigral transplants visualized in vivo in a Parkinson's patient
Paola Piccini,David J. Brooks,Anders Björklund,Roger N. Gunn,Paul M. Grasby,Ornella Rimoldi,Patrik Brundin,Peter Hagell,Stig Rehncrona,Håkan Widner,Olle Lindvall +10 more
TL;DR: Grafted neurons can continue for a decade to store and release dopamine and give rise to substantial symptomatic relief in a patient with Parkinson's disease.
