  2. 16. Cartilage Tissue Engineering. A study on how to improve cartilage repair

    Author : Sebastian Concaro; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cartilage tissue engineering Orthopaedics Knee Biomaterials;

    Abstract : One of the first examples of musculoskeletal tissue engineering is autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI).The first patient with a cartilage lesion was operated with ACI in 1987 and at that time suspension implantation was used. READ MORE

  4. 17. Expression and localization of extracellular matrix proteins in rat skeletal development

    Author : Zhenxin Shen; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; BSP and osteoadherin.; COMP; chondroadherin; rat femoral head; Bone; extracellular matrix protein; cartilage; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

    Abstract : Several novel matrix molecules of cartilage and bone have recently been identified and characterized. Studies of the maturation of the femoral head give clues as to the function of the novel matrix proteins. READ MORE

  5. 18. Extracellular Matrix Remodelling-Proteoglycan and collagen turnover in arthritis

    Author : Anette Bjärdahlen; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arthritis; collagen; cartilage; myofibroblasts; pannus; proteoglycan; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; reumatologi; Skelett; muskelsystem;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory and systemic disease characterised by joint destruction and pannus formation. To enlarge the understanding how pannus and granulation tissue are formed two animal models were used; one using cartilage wrapped in cotton and implanted into a rat air pouch (AP) and one where mBSA induced arthritis (AIA) was performed.

  6. 19. Cartilage destruction - Release of type IX collagen in joint disease

    Author : Mikael Danfelter; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cartilage destruction; matrix metalloproteinase 13; ECM; assay; neoepitope; NC4 domain; Type IX collagen; fragment;

    Abstract : Cartilage is of vital importance for the function of joints. It is characterized by a prominent extracellular matrix (ECM) that is produced and maintained by relatively few cells of one type, the chondrocyte. READ MORE

  7. 20. Studies on chondrocyte integrins and mechanical signaling

    Author : Karin Holmvall; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; teratology; Development biology; collagen; mechnaical stimulation; cartilage; development; chondrocyte; integrin; ontogeny; embryology human ; Utvecklingsbiologi; teratologi; embryologi människa ;

    Abstract : Integrins are a family of cell surface receptors known to bind matrix proteins and to mediate signals such as mechanical signals between the cell and the surrounding matrix. We have studied integrins that are expressed by chondrocytes, with specific focus on the integrins that interact with the cartilage matrix protein collagen type II. READ MORE
