  2. 6. Experimental therapeutic angiogenesis after myocardial infarction : efficacy of different angiogenic factors and delivery methods

    Author : Xiaojin Hao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angiogenesis; arteriogenesis; apoptosis; myocardial infarction; VEGF-A165; bFGF; PDGF-BB; adenovirus; plasmid; alginate;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis, the stimulation of vessel growth, is a promising therapy in ischemic heart disease. A wealth of evidence has shown that several growth factors can induce neovascularization in ischemic models. However, the optimal application of growth factors and delivery method requires further exploration. READ MORE

  4. 7. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Methods to Study Soft Matter Dynamics and Microstructure

    Author : Diana Bernin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Soft matter is of great importance for food, hygiene and pharmaceutical products. Gels are an example of soft matter and are found in e.g. diapers, that are able to take up large amounts of liquids. READ MORE

  6. 9. Development of biosynthetic conduits for peripheral nerve repair

    Author : Aleksandra McGrath; Liudmila N Novikova; John Haycock; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biosynthetic conduit; Mesenchymal stem cells; Nerve graft; Nerve tissue engineering; Peripheral nerve injury; Schwann cells;

    Abstract : Peripheral nerve injuries are often associated with significant loss of nervous tissue leading to poor restoration of function following repair of injured nerves. Although the injury gap could be bridged by autologous nerve graft, the limited access to donor material and additional morbidity such as loss of sensation and scarring have prompted a search for biosynthetic nerve transplants.

  7. 10. Conducting Polymer-based Biohybrid Materials : Towards Microphysiological Chips and Soft Actuators for Bone Tissue Engineering

    Author : Danfeng Cao; Edwin Jager; Jose Gabriel Martinez Gil; Jonathan Rossiter; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The human body is a complex system, consisting of different types of biomolecules and living matters, such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, serum, cells, tissues, and organs. These complex biomolecules and living matters integrate and interact dynamically to perform and maintain body functions. READ MORE
