    Abstract : Tendon injuries and tendinopathy are common disorders, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The overall aim of this thesis was to better understand the mechanisms underlying tendon healing, pain, and inflammation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Osteogenesis Imperfecta : Genetic and Therapeutic Studies

    Author : Katarina Lindahl; Östen Ljunggren; Andreas Kindmark; Carl-Johan Rubin; David Sillence; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; OI; BMD; Genotype; Phenotype; Pharmaco-genetics; Bisphosphonate; Therapy; Gene-therapy; Mutation; Collagen; Collagen type I; Allele-specific silencing; siRNA; RNAi; COL1A1; COL1A2; Stroke; C-propeptide; Mineralization; Heterozygous disadvantage; Genetics; Genetik; Medicin; Medicine; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous disease of connective tissue, the cardinal symptom being fractures and severity ranging from mild to lethal. Dominant mutations in collagen I, encoded by COL1A1 and COL1A2, cause >90% of cases. READ MORE

  5. 3. Female stress incontinence and uterovaginal prolapse : collagen turnover and hormone sensitivity in urogenital tissue

    Author : Lena Edwall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Stress incontinence; urogenital tissue; collagen turnover markers; estradiol- 17beta; estrone; testosterone; uterovaginal prolapse; menopause;

    Abstract : Background: Prevalence of both stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and uterovaginal prolapse (UP) is high and rising with age. Risk factors include multiparity, obesity, chronic obstructive lung disease and previous gynecological surgery. The underlying pathology is still unknown but may include defective connective tissue.

  6. 4. Biological aspects of synovial fluid mediated aseptic prosthesis loosening

    Author : Martin Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aseptic loosening; synovial fluid; osteoblasts; bone resorption; IGF;

    Abstract : Aseptic prosthesis loosening is the most common reason for late failure of total hip arthroplasties. Resorption of the peri-prosthetic bone, resulting in a loose prosthesis is characteristic for aseptic loosening. READ MORE

  7. 5. Production of neocartilage tissues using primary chondrocytes

    Author : Janne Ylärinne; Mikko Lammi; Chengjuan Qu; Mats Brittberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; primary chondrocytes; articular cartilage; tissue engineering; neocartilage; scaffold; scaffold-free; hyaluronan; self-assembling peptide; TGF-β3; glucosamine sulfate; hypoxia; hypertonic medium; glucose;

    Abstract : Hyaline cartilage is a highly specialized tissue, which plays an important role in the articulating joints of an individual. It provides the joints with a nearly frictionless, impact resisting surface to protect the ends of the articulating bones. READ MORE
