  4. 2. Molecular regulators in cartilage and bone formation

    Author : Thomas Engstrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; cartilage; bone; TGF-beta; BMP; noggin; gene therapy; gene targeting; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Cartilage functions as a scaffold for bone formation during development. This process, endochondral ossification, is regulated by systemic hormones and local growth factors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Advances in Bone Tissue Engineering

    Author : Björn Schönmeyr; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Bone deficiencies, caused by malformations, trauma or adverse effects from medical treatments, are a clinical challenge and often associated with reduced physical function and quality of life. Autologeous bone grafts can be used to reconstruct skeletal defects, but the right size and quality of bone might not always be available and even so, donor-site morbidity might follow. READ MORE

  6. 4. Survival and differentiation of central noradrenergic neurons

    Author : Pontus Holm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : About half of all central noradrenergic (NA) neurons reside in the locus coeruleus (LC). Projections from the LC reach target regions throughout the entire brain and regulate a variety of functions, such as mood, vigilance, arousal, sleep, attention and memory acquisition. READ MORE

  7. 5. The role of smooth muscle cells in calcification of atherosclerotic plaques

    Author : Till Seime; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Calcification (CALC) is a predominant feature of late-stage cardiovascular disease (CVD) but responsible mechanisms and its contribution to the risk of clinical events remain unclear. Formation of highly mineralized extracellular matrix (ECM) leads to progressive aortic valve stenosis (AVS) and has been identified as a surrogate marker for atherosclerotic disease burden. READ MORE
