1. Mechanisms of Osseointegration: Experimental Studies on Early Cellular and Molecular Events in vivo
Abstract : The early cellular and molecular activities determining the early tissue response and bone formation at bone/implant interface are not fully understood. The general aim of the current thesis was to develop a model for studying the early molecular and cellular activities in different bone types, and in response to different implant surface properties.

2. Biochemical and biomechanical modulation of the in vitro retina
Abstract : The porcine retinal explant culture paradigm offers the possibility to study retinal health, disease and development independently from the surrounding tissues of the eye. Retina-intrinsic effects of molecular and mechanical cues on the isolated retinal sheet can thus be studied with great precision. READ MORE

3. Experimental studies on fracture healing. Biological and biomechanical aspects
Abstract : Considerable advances have been made in the knowledge regarding fracture healing and treatment duringrecent decades. Nevertheless, in 5-10 per cent of fractures, there are healing complications leading to complextreatment conditions, discomfort for patients and considerable costs. READ MORE

4. Immune mechanisms behind plaque vulnerability : experimental and clinical studies
Abstract : Physical disruption of atherosclerotic plaques causes many acute thrombotic complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The resistance of the atherosclerotic plaque to disruption depends in part on the integrity of its fibrous cap, which prevents contact between the highly thrombogenic lipid core and the circulating blood.

5. Computational Modeling of the Vocal Tract : Applications to Speech Production
Abstract : Human speech production is a complex process, involving neuromuscular control signals, the effects of articulators' biomechanical properties and acoustic wave propagation in a vocal tract tube of intricate shape. Modeling these phenomena may play an important role in advancing our understanding of the involved mechanisms, and may also have future medical applications, e. READ MORE
