  2. 1. Polypeptide-Based Nanoscale Materials

    Author : Daniel Aili; Bo Liedberg; Karin Enander; Molly Stevens; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gold nanoparticle; polypeptide; helix-loop-helix; four-helix bundle; self-assembly; folding; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Self-assembly has emerged as a promising technique for fabrication of novel hybrid materials and nanostructures. The work presented in this thesis has been focused on developing nanoscale materials based on synthetic de novo designed polypeptides. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tunable and modular assembly of polypeptides and polypeptide-hybrid biomaterials

    Author : Christopher Aronsson; Daniel Aili; Karin Enander; Staffan Dånmark; Dennis Löwik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Biomaterials are materials that are specifically designed to be in contact with biological systems and have for a long time been used in medicine. Examples of biomaterials range from sophisticated prostheses used for replacing outworn body parts to ordinary contact lenses. Currently it is possible to create biomaterials that can e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bioactive nanocellulose materials for the treatment of chronic wounds

    Author : Anna Blasi Romero; Natalia Ferraz; Daniel Aili; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose nanofibrils; covalent immobilization; wound healing; antioxidant properties; antibacterial properties; anti-inflammatory properties; stimuli responsive hydrogels; reactive oxygen species; host defense peptides; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials;

    Abstract : Chronic wounds represent a burden for the healthcare system and significantly affect the quality of life of the patients. There is currently a lack of efficient treatments but new, improved therapeutic approaches are under development. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multifunctional Nanocellulose Composite Materials

    Author : Olof Eskilson; Daniel Aili; Robert Selegård; Erik Martinsson; Aji Mathew; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanomaterials; nanocomposites; bacterial cellulose; wound care; plasmonics; catalysis;

    Abstract : Nanoparticles (NPs) are particles with more than one dimension between 1 and 100 nm. Because of their small size, they typically display different physical and chemical properties than the corresponding bulk materials. NPs have been used in many different applications, such as in electronics, optics, catalysis, and in biomedicine. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modular Hyaluronan-Based Hydrogels for 3D Cell Culture and Bioprinting

    Author : Michael Jury; Daniel Aili; Robert Selegård; My Hedhammar; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hyaluronan; 3D cell-culture; Biofunctionality; Bioprinting;

    Abstract : Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture facilitates development of biological relevant assays for drug screening and toxicity testing. Compared to conventional 2D cell culture, cells cultured in 3D can more accurately mimic human tissues and organs and thus provide ex vivo data with potentially better predictive value for cancer research, pharmacology, and toxicology, reducing the need for animal models, improving experimental reproducibility, and reducing time and costs in drug development.
