  2. 1. Differentiation of Human Dermal Fibroblasts : a New Tool in Vascular Tissue Engineering

    Author : Lisa Karlsson; Gunnar Kratz; Magnus Grenegård; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is an expanding field, which focuses on the development of func-tional substitutes for damaged tissues. A limitation in this field is difficulties with obtaining autologous cells. Recent research has shown the presence of cells with multilineage-potential within the connective stroma of the skin.

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Human Dermal Fibroblasts in Tissue Engineering

    Author : Johan Junker; Gunnar Kratz; Hans Johnson; Anders Lindahl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The loss or failure of tissues and/or organs is one of the most frequent problems in modern healthcare. The field of tissue engineering applies the principles of biology and engineering in order to develop functional substitutes for damaged tissues. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fibroblast Contractility in vivo and in vitro : Effects of Prostaglandins and Potential Role for Inner Ear Fluid Homeostasis

    Author : Anna-Karin Hultgård Ekwall; Kristofer Rubin; Helge Rask-Andersen; Bengt Rippe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Interstitial connective tissue; fibroblasts; prostaglandins; podoplanin; endolymph resorption; Ménière’s disease.; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : Fibroblasts continuously strive to organize and compact the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Recent data suggest that this cellular contractility controls interstitial fluid homeostasis in loose connective tissues (CT). READ MORE

  7. 5. From a Road Less Travelled to a Worn Path: Three-Dimensional Tumour Models for Cancer Research and Therapeutics

    Author : Atena Malakpour Permlid; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 3D tumour models; scaffold-based cultures; cancer cells; electrospun scaffolds; extracellular matrix; tumour microenvironment; high-throughput screening; animal-free; donor herd horse serum; fibroblasts;

    Abstract : Cancer is the second leading cause of death among both men and women worldwide. During therecent years, three-dimensional (3D) tumour models have gained increasing interest as a pre-clinicalplatform for screening of compounds for potential use in cancer therapy. READ MORE
