  2. 6. Artificial blood vessels - Studies on endothelial cell and blood interactions with bacterial cellulose

    Author : Helen Fink; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : bacterial cellulose; endothelial cells; thrombogenicity; xyloglucan; contact activation; imaging of coagulation; vascular grafts; RGD; cell adhesion; bioreactor; xyloglucan;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are still the number one cause of death or invalidity in the western world today. Atherosclerotic plaques and restenosis can result in severe occlusions of peripheral and coronary arteries. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease and includes drug therapy and bypass surgery. READ MORE

  4. 7. Hydrophobization of cellulose for bio-based materials

    Abstract : Cellulosa, vilken är huvudkomponenten i växter förekommer rikligt i naturen, både på land och i havet. Cellulosabaserade material har i tusentals år använts av människan för dagliga förnödenheter som bränsle och konstruktionsmaterial. Cellulosa isolerades först av den franske forskaren Anselme Payen 1838. READ MORE

  6. 9. Hydrolytic and Oxidative Mechanisms Involved in Cellulose Degradation

    Author : Anu Nutt; Jerry Ståhlberg; Henrik Stålbrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biochemistry; cellobiohydrolase; cellulase; cellulose; cellobiose dehydrogenase; endoglucanase; kinetics; synergism; competitive binding; Biokemi;

    Abstract : The enzymatic degradation of cellulose is an important process in nature. This thesis has focused on the degradation of cellulose by enzymes from two cellulose-degrading fungi, Hypocrea jecorina and Phanerochaete chrysosporium, including both the action of the individual enzymes and their synergistic interplay.

  7. 10. Bacterial adhesion to polyelectrolyte modified materials based on nanocellulose

    Author : Jonatan Henschen; Lars Wågberg; Per Larsson; Josefin Larsson; Aji Mathew; Michael Malkoch; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bacterial adhesion; cellulose nanofibrils; polymer adsorption; polyvinylamine; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Since the introduction of materials based on cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), these materials have been studied extensively and are suggested to be suitable for use in, for example, hygiene and health care products. A property not very well studied but that could further increase the usability of CNF products is the possibility of controlling bacterial adhesion to the materials. READ MORE
