1. Transplantation of normal and decellularized syngeneic, allogeneic and xenogeneic cardiac tissue in mice and non-human primates
Abstract : Introduction Because of the restricted inherent capacity of regeneration and healing, transplantation is the only treatment for end-stage heart failure but it has limitations of donor shortage and graft rejection. Cardiac tissue engineering strategies might help to alleviate this problem. READ MORE

2. Rotator Cuff Tears : Short- and long-term aspects on treatment outcome
Abstract : Rotator cuff tear is a common disorder and there is a lack of knowledge of appropriate treatment and consequences of different treatment modalities. The overall aim of this thesis was to examine short- and long-term results of rotator cuff tear treatment. READ MORE

3. On tissue engineering of pig, human, and non-human primate tissues
Abstract : Background: Demand for donor organs for transplantation has been increasing every year more than the actual supply of suitable donor organs. One of the major problems associated with allogeneic transplantation includes lifelong immunosuppression. READ MORE

4. Haemodynamic management in liver surgery
Abstract : Background: Liver resection surgery is a potentially curative treatment for liver tumours. The liver is a highly vascular organ, and substantial intra-operative blood loss is common. Increased blood loss negatively impacts both postoperative outcome and long-term survival. READ MORE

5. Decellularization as a method to generate a new generation of vascular grafts
Abstract : Decellularization of blood vessels is a technique to remove cells from the extracellular matrix (ECM), which can be used as a vascular graft for peripheral or coronary blood vessel bypass surgery. This thesis focuses on the optimization of decellularization strategies for blood vessels such as porcine vena cava, to determine the optimal decellularization protocol (Paper I) and the ideal method of applying liquids during the decellularization process (Paper II).
