  2. 11. Resorbable Bone Cement for Augmentation of Hip Fracture

    Author : Per Mattsson; Sune Larsson; Nils Dalen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Surgical treatment of hip fractures is frequently associated with secondary fracture displacement, in part due to weak osteoporotic bone. So far, improvements have focused on new metal implants although an alternative could be to augment the bone that surrounds the implant. READ MORE

  4. 12. Experimental therapies of malignant glioma : with emphasis on angiogenesis inhibition

    Author : Maria Sandström; Roger Henriksson; Mikael Johansson; Anja Smits; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glioma; angiogenesis; VEGF; tyrosinekinaseinhibitor; ZD6474; plasminogenactivator; tPA; uPA; proteomics; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Malignant glioma consists of a group of diseases where the localisation and the nature of the disease makes treatment an extreme challenge. Two important biological features of malignant glioma cells are their infiltrative growth and their ability to induce angiogenesis. READ MORE

  5. 13. Experimental therapeutic angiogenesis after myocardial infarction : efficacy of different angiogenic factors and delivery methods

    Author : Xiaojin Hao; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angiogenesis; arteriogenesis; apoptosis; myocardial infarction; VEGF-A165; bFGF; PDGF-BB; adenovirus; plasmid; alginate;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis, the stimulation of vessel growth, is a promising therapy in ischemic heart disease. A wealth of evidence has shown that several growth factors can induce neovascularization in ischemic models. However, the optimal application of growth factors and delivery method requires further exploration. READ MORE

  6. 14. Immunotherapy against malignant brain tumors - of mice and men

    Author : Karin Enell Smith; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tumor Immunology; Immunotherapy; Glioma; Mouse;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most abundant and most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Due to the infiltrative growth of the tumor, surgery will never be radical. Radiation and chemotherapy only marginally improve the poor prognosis due to the ability of the GBM to develop resistance towards these treatments. READ MORE

  7. 15. Multimodal Porphyrin-Based Conjugates : Synthesis and characterization for applications as amyloid ligands, photodynamic therapy agents and chiroptical materials

    Author : Katriann Arja; Peter Nilsson; Peter Konradsson; Fredrik Almqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Organic compounds that interact both with certain biological targets and display specific photophysical properties can be utilized as molecular tools to visualize and possibly effect disease related processes taking place in living organisms. In this regard, porphyrins are a class of naturally occurring molecules that possess intriguingly interesting photophysical properties where they can act as luminescent probes by emitting detectable light, as well as photosensitizers in the light mediated therapy called photodynamic therapy.
