  2. 1. Immunopathogenesis of schistosomiasis mansoni : Immunity and pathology in a primary and a secondary infection following chemotherapy in the mouse and the baboo models

    Author : Idle Omar Farah; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology and anatomy; Baboon; BALB c mice; Chemotherapy; Cytokines; Fibrosis; Granuloma; Modulation; Pathology; Reinfection; Schistosoma mansoni; Th1; Th2; Fysiologi och anatomi; Physiology and pharmacology; Fysiologi och farmakologi; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a series of experiments aimed at elucidating the mechanisms ofimmunity and pathology elicited by both a primary infection and a reinfection exposure toSchistosoma mansoni following chemotherapy. The effects of a single large cercarial doseand a cumulatively equivalent dose, administered as multiple small doses are compared. READ MORE

    Author : Henrik Falconer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Endometriosis; infertility; baboon; animal model; FSH; AMH; ovarian reserve;

    Abstract : Introduction: Endometriosis is a common, benign gynecological disease, associated with pelvic pain and infertility. It is generally thought to be caused by retrograde shedding of menstrual tissue with subsequent attachment to peritoneal surfaces. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transplantation of normal and decellularized syngeneic, allogeneic and xenogeneic cardiac tissue in mice and non-human primates

    Author : Ketaki Methe; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Decellularization; Cardiac tissue; Syngeneic; Allogeneic; Xenogeneic; Non-human primate;

    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

  6. 4. On tissue engineering of pig, human, and non-human primate tissues

    Author : Nikhil Nayakawde; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Decellularization; esophagus; heart; larynx; proteomics; recellularization; SILAC; stem cells; tissue engineering;

    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

  7. 5. Uterus transplantation: An experimental study in primates

    Author : Liza Johannesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; infertility; transplantation; nonhuman primates; uterus; human; immunosuppression;

    Abstract : Most causes of infertility are nowadays treatable, but for women that are infertile due to lack of, or severe malfunction of the uterus, there is as of today no available cure. Uterus transplantation (UTx) may provide a future possibility for treatment of these females with uterine factor infertility (UFI). READ MORE
