  2. 1. Genomic selection and genome-wide association studies to dissect quantitative traits in forest trees

    Author : Biyue Tan; Pär K. Ingvarsson; Björn Sundberg; Harry X. Wu; Dario Grattapaglia; Xiao-Ru Wang; Leopoldo Sanchez; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Genomic prediction; genome-wide association study; additive effects; dominance effects; epistasis effects; realized relationship matrix; Eucalyptus grandis; Eucalyptus urophylla;

    Abstract : The convergence of quantitative genetics of complex traits with genomic technologies is quickly becoming an innovative approach to explore fundamental genetic questions and also have practical consequences for implementations in tree breeding. In this thesis, I used genomic selection and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to dissect the genetic basis of quantitative traits, i. READ MORE

  4. 2. Peri-implantitis : treatment and effects of enamel matrix derivative

    Author : Catrine Isehed; Pernilla Lundberg; Anders Holmlund; Leif Jansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; implant; peri-implantitis; bone regeneration; enamel matrix derivative; surgical treatment; proteome; bone marrow macrophages; osteoclast formation; bone resorption; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Biological complications affecting osseointegrated dental implants are a growing treatment problem in clinical practice. Since the number of implant carriers has increased in recent decades, this is an urgent topic in dentistry. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards surgical use of matrix metalloproteinase biology

    Author : Björn Pasternak; Per Aspenberg; Pentti Tengvall; Yrjö T Konttinen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon; colon; tetracyclines; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases TIMP ; wound healing.; colorectal surgery; extracellular matrix; humans; matrix metalloproteinases MMPs ; rats; surgical anastomosis; sutures; tendon injuries; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Abstract : Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), such as collagenases, are a family of enzymes capable of degrading most constituents of the extracellular matrix. MMPs are thought to be involved in the aetiopathogenesis of tendon rupture. Additionally, failure of healing has in some instances been associated with elevated levels of MMPs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling and simulation of plastic deformation on small scales : interface conditions and size effects of thin films

    Author : Per Fredriksson; Peter Gudmundson; Christian Niordson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strain gradient plasticity; Size effects; Thin films; Interface; Finite element method; Dislocations; Constitutive behaviour; Hardening behaviour; Indentation; Contact mechanics; Metal matrix composites; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Contrary to elastic deformation, plastic deformation of crystalline materials, such as metals, is size-dependent. Most commonly, this phenomenon is present but unnoticed, such as the effect of microstructural length scales. READ MORE

  7. 5. Extracellular matrix as a regulator of cell behavior : Biological effects of hyaluronan biosynthesis and catabolism

    Author : Mehdi Rahmanian; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Hyaluronan; hyaluronidase; CD44; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; medicinsk biokemi;

    Abstract : Extracellular matrix surrounding cells is an important regulator of cellular functions. Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglyean and a constituent component of the extracellular matrix in all tissues. It is synthesized by hyaluronan syntheses (HAS) at the inner surface of cell membrane and degraded by hyaluronidases to small fragments. READ MORE
