2. 1. In vitro and in vivo studies of tissue engineering in reconstructive plastic surgery

   Author : Fredrik R.M. Huss; Gunnar Kratz; Elof Eriksson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tissue engineering; plastic surgery; guided tissue regeneration; Plastic surgery; Plastikkirurgi; Plastikkirurgi;

   Abstract : To correct, improve, and maintain tissues, and their functions, are common denominators in tissue engineering and reconstructive plastic surgery. This can be achieved by using autolo-gous tissues as in flaps or transplants. However, often autologous tissue is not useable. READ MORE

4. 2. Keratinocytes in tissue engineering of human skin: invitro and in vivo studies

   Author : Camilla Fredriksson; Gunnar Kratz; Fredrik Huss; Xiao-Feng Sun; Bengt Gerdin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Keratinocytes tissue engineering; Plastic surgery; Plastikkirurgi;

   Abstract : Full thickness wounds, such as deep burns, need restoration of both the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. In normal wound healing, re-epithelialization occurs by migration and proliferation of keratinocytes from the wound edges and by differentiation of stem cells from remaining hair follicles.

5. 3. Differentiation of Human Dermal Fibroblasts and Applications in Tissue Engineering

   Author : Pehr Sommar; Gunnar Kratz; Thomas Hansson; Anders Lindahl; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tissue Engineering; Human Dermal Fibroblasts; Differentiation; Adipogenesis; Chondrogenesis; Endotheliogenesis; Osteogenesis; Plastic surgery; Plastikkirurgi;

   Abstract : Tissue engineering applies principles of biology and engineering to the development of functional substitutes for damaged or lost tissues. Tools for the neo-generation of tissue in tissue engineering research include cells, biomaterials and soluble factors. READ MORE

6. 4. In vitro and in vivo studies on biodegradable matrices for autotransplantation

   Author : Carl-Johan Gustafson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : In vitro; in vivo; dermis; matrix; autotransplantation; culture; keratinocytes; urothelium; tissue engineering; PUUR; macroporous spheres ; guided tissue regeneration;

   Abstract : Tissue engineering (TE), one of the most rapidly growing fields of life science, is an interdisciplinary area in which technical, biological and medical expertise co-fertilize on another with the ultimate aim of restoring, maintaining or improving tissues and/or organs. This purpose links TE closely to research concerning reconstructive plastic surgery. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies on the interaction of human cells with transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery

   Author : Katarina Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cell culture; Keratinocytes; Fibroblasts; Endothelial cells; Reepithelialization; In vitro endothelialization; Tissue engineering; Biomaterial: Dermal substitute; Synthetic vascular graft; Heart valve bioprosthesis;

   Abstract : Tissue engineering is becoming an important field for the development of new tissues in vitro for replacement of diseased or worn out parts of the body. This thesis describes some characteristics of cultured human cells seeded on transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery. READ MORE
