2. 1. Impaired reparative processes in particular related to hyaluronan in various cutaneous disorders : a structural analysis

   Author : Ulf Bertheim; Bengt Gerdin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : hyaluronan; scar tissue; diabetes mellitus; basal cell carcinoma; skin; wound healing; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Abstract : Cutaneous reparative processes, including wound healing, are highly developed procedures in which a chain of actions occurs to reconstitute the function of the wounded tissue. To prevent a delayed or excessive reparative process it is important to understand how this procedure develops and is maintained. READ MORE

4. 2. To scar or not to scar : origin and function of fibrotic tissue in the central nervous system

   Author : David Oliveira Dias; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : After injury, the adult mammalian central nervous system lacks long-distance axon regeneration, and insufficient repair results in the formation of a multicellular and compartmentalized scar. A great body of work has been dedicated to the study of the glial component of the scar, while the fibrotic lesion core has received less attention. READ MORE

5. 3. Connective tissue contraction in wound healing : An experimental study in vivo and in vitro

   Author : M. Reza Ghassemifar; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Contraction of connective tissue is an important part of tissue repair that reduces the wound space and helps to decrease the formation of scar tissue, both of which are needed to restore tissue integrity. In the present study, certain cellular mechanisms that are active during connective tissue contraction were assessed and the influence of transforming growth factor-. READ MORE

6. 4. Human Dermal Fibroblasts in Tissue Engineering

   Author : Johan Junker; Gunnar Kratz; Hans Johnson; Anders Lindahl; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The loss or failure of tissues and/or organs is one of the most frequent problems in modern healthcare. The field of tissue engineering applies the principles of biology and engineering in order to develop functional substitutes for damaged tissues. READ MORE

7. 5. Merging electronics and the brain - towards a fully biocompatible neural interface

   Author : Gustav Lind; Neurofysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neural interface; neural implants; BMI; tissue reactions; biocompatibility; rat; astrocytes; microglia;

   Abstract : Techniques for interfacing the nervous system using chronically implanted electrodes are turning into invaluable tools for neurophysiological research and treatment of neurological disorders. These methods have been developed and refined over the last decades. READ MORE
