1. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inflammatory bone modeling
Abstract : Patients with inflammatory or infectious conditions such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis and loosened joint prosthesis display varying severity of destruction in the adjacent bone tissue. Bone loss in inflammatory diseases is considered a consequence of cytokine induced RANKL and subsequent enhanced osteoclast formation. READ MORE

2. Diffusion in Bone Tissue
Abstract : In order to prevent or modify the processes of bone degeneration the modeling and remodeling of bone tissue must be better understood. In this thesis it is assumed that the primary condition leading to bone growth is a change of the chemical environment caused by transport of matter resulting from stress driven diffusion. READ MORE

3. Chemokines and bone : lessons from in vitro and in vivo studies
Abstract : Bone homeostasis is maintained by the balanced activity of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Inflammation in the vicinity of bone disturbs the balanced bone remodeling process, which often results in bone loss. READ MORE

4. On the Growth of Bone through Stress Driven Diffusion and Bone Generation Processes
Abstract : In order to prevent or modify bone degeneration due to rest or due to diseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis, the modeling and remodeling of bone tissue must be better understood. In this thesis it is assumed that the primary condition leading to bone growth is a change of the chemical environment caused by transport of matter resulting from stress driven diffusion. READ MORE

5. Modeling human gut microbiota: from steady states to dynamic systems
Abstract : Human gut microbes are an essential part of human sub-microscopic systems and involved in many critical biological processes such as Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and osteoporosis. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. READ MORE
