  2. 1. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation : patients’ and sibling donors’ perspectives

    Author : Annika M Kisch; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; Confidentiality; Information and care model; Quality of life; Perspectives; Sibling donor; Stem cell donation;

    Abstract : Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hereafter HSCT) is an established treatment which offers a potential cure for a variety of diseases, mainly haematological malignancies. However, the treatment is also associated with significant risks of acute complications and late side effects, including mortality. READ MORE

  4. 2. Myofibroblasts and polyploid cells in the conjunctival surface after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

    Author : David Hallberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Myofibroblast; Polyploid; Allogeneic; Graft-versus-Host Disease;

    Abstract : Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment modality for hematological malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma. However, a major complication of the procedure is that the immune effector cells in the graft may become activated towards the host´s healthy tissues, resulting in a condition called Graft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD).

  5. 3. Transplantation of normal and decellularized syngeneic, allogeneic and xenogeneic cardiac tissue in mice and non-human primates

    Author : Ketaki Methe; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Decellularization; Cardiac tissue; Syngeneic; Allogeneic; Xenogeneic; Non-human primate;

    Abstract : Introduction Because of the restricted inherent capacity of regeneration and healing, transplantation is the only treatment for end-stage heart failure but it has limitations of donor shortage and graft rejection. Cardiac tissue engineering strategies might help to alleviate this problem. READ MORE

  6. 4. Immunological and Inflammtory Responses against Intrastriatal Neural Grafts in the Rat

    Author : Wei-Ming Duan; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; MHC; Rat; Brain; Xenogeneic; Allogeneic; Syngeneic; Cytokine; Inflammation; Neural transplantation; Immunology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Intracerebral neural transplantation offers a new strategy to combat Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. However, a host immune response against a histoincompatible neural graft in the brain may jeopardize transplant survival. READ MORE

  7. 5. Preoperative deposit of autologous blood. Effects on inflammatory mediators

    Author : Monica Hyllner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allogeneic; autologous; complement; cytokines; blood storage; erythropoiesis; hysterectomy; plasma; prestorage leucocyte filtration; rHuEPO; whole blood.;

    Abstract : Blood contains complex cascade systems and substances that can be activated during the processing of blood components and storage. Allogeneic blood, i.e. blood from someone else, is normally separated into components before storage and transfusion, while autologous blood (the patient s own blood) often is used as whole blood.
