  2. 1. Modular Enzyme-Responsive Polysaccharide-Based Hydrogels for Biofabrication

    Author : Sajjad Naeimipour; Daniel Aili; Robert Selegård; Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 3D cell-culture; Bioprinting; Alginate; Hyaluronan; Cancer model;

    Abstract : Engineered human tissue and disease models can decrease the cost and time of developing new drugs and treatments, facilitate personalized medicine, and eliminate the need for animal models that poorly represent the human body and are ethically problematic. However, the current conventional cell expansion methods using 2D culture flasks cannot enable the development of such complex multi-cellular 3D models. READ MORE

  4. 2. Active cellular forces in variable mechanical microenvironments

    Abstract : Our bodies are immensely complex structures, with various systems, organs, and processes that are not only biochemically driven, but strongly dependent on physical mechanics.  At the heart of all these processes are cells, which must generate forces to adhere, spread, differentiate, grow, and move.

    Abstract : In about 2:10,000 births the external part of the ear, the auricle, is severely malformed or absent. Furthermore, tumors and trauma can cause defects to the auricle. READ MORE

  6. 4. Generation and investigation of neural microenvironment in health and disease

    Author : Jakub Lewicki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cells in our body are under the constant influence of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that modulate their behavior. Early on, starting during the development of the organism, growth factors, nutrients, oxygen, the extracellular matrix and contact with other cells affect essential processes such as proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis.
