  2. 16. Gene expression during hard tissue formation

    Author : Catharina Ellerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : bone; dentin; mRNA; fibrillar collagens; osteonectin; fibronectin; development; rat;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to study the formation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone and dentin during development. Molecular techniques, such as in situ hybridization and RT-PCR, were used to investigate the occurrence of specific gene products in formative cells. READ MORE

  4. 17. Regulation and function of mineralized tissue extra-cellular matrix proteins : studies of ADAMTS-1 and osteoadherin

    Author : Anders Rehn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The extracellular matrix of tissues is governed and maintained by cells and a number of associated proteins. The extracellular matrix of the skeleton is highly specialized, in that it is mineralized and contains matrix-specific proteins with unique functions. READ MORE

  5. 18. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inflammatory bone modeling

    Author : Ali Kassem; Ulf Lerner; Pernilla Lundberg; Pedro Souza; Timothy Arnett; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Toll-like receptor; osteoclast; osteoblast; bone resorption; bone formation; P. gingivalis; S. aureus; flagellin.;

    Abstract : Patients with inflammatory or infectious conditions such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis and loosened joint prosthesis display varying severity of destruction in the adjacent bone tissue. Bone loss in inflammatory diseases is considered a consequence of cytokine induced RANKL and subsequent enhanced osteoclast formation. READ MORE

  6. 19. RP59 : a novel stem cell protein and mapping of its expression

    Author : Anders Krüger-Almerén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to study the expression pattern of a novel protein daring developmental processes. Firstly we identified so far unknown mRNA sequences coding for frequently expressed proteins in primitive mesenchymal cells in bone marrow and osteoblasts. READ MORE

  7. 20. 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
