  2. 1. Expression of Tissue Antigens in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells and Alterations During Differentiation : Potential application in regenerative medicine for treatment of terminal cell and organ failure

    Author : Karin Säljö; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pluripotent stem cells; Differentiation; Histo-blood group antigens; HLA; Tissue antigens; Sialyl-lactotetra; Cell surface antigens; Transplantation; Regenerative medicine;

    Abstract : The major limiting factor in the treatment of patients with end-stage organ failure is the insufficient number of human organs available for transplantation. An unlimited access to human cells, tissues and organs would also open up possibilities to treat several chronic diseases, such as diabetes, neurological and cardiovascular diseases, affecting millions of patients worldwide.

  4. 2. Studies on glycosphingolipids in regenerative medicine

    Author : Angela Barone; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glycosphingolipids; human embryonic stem cells; Cell surface markers; porcine heart valves; xenotransplantation; regenerative medicinr;

    Abstract : Regenerative medicine, including stem cell based therapies and xenotransplantation, is a new and developing field that aims to restore normal function in end stage cell/organ failure. However, in therapeutic settings involving transfer of cells with a different genetic background, these cells will expose the recipient to non-self cell surface antigenic determinants that may evoke an immune response and subsequent graft damage.
