  2. 1. On platelet-rich plasma in reconstructive dental implant surgery

    Author : Andreas Thor; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : autogenous bone graft; bone formation; coagulation; clinical study; complement; dental implant; experimental study; growth factors; platelet activation; platelet-rich plasma; sinus lift surgery; thrombogenicity;

    Abstract : Abstract Background Severe athrophy of the edentulous maxilla may require augmentation before implants can be placed. Autogenous bone has been used for reconstruction in block or in particulated form. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biodegradable gelatin microcarriers in tissue engineering : In vitro studies on cartilage and bone

    Author : Sofia Pettersson; Gunnar Kratz; Pentti Tengvall; Jonas Wetterö; Julie Gold; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines cells, biomaterial scaffolds and environmental factors to achieve functional tissue repair. This thesis focuses on the use of macroporous gelatin microcarriers as scaffolds in tissue engineering applications, with a special focus on cartilage and bone formation by human adult cells in vitro.

  5. 3. Crosstalk Between Activated Platelets and the Complement System

    Author : Osama A. Hamad; Bo Nilsson; Kristina Ekdahl-Nilsson; Lennart Truedsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; platelets; activated platelets; TRAP; chondroitin sulfate; C1q; factor H; C4BP; C3; Compstatin; complement; platelet-leukocyte complexes; platelet microparticles; Clinical immunology; Klinisk immunologi; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Several studies have shown that complement and thrombotic events co-exist. Platelets have been suspected to act as the bridge between the two cascade systems. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Role of Histidine-rich Glycoprotein in Angiogenesis and Tumor Growth

    Author : Åsa Thulin; Anna-Karin Olsson; Pirjo Laakkonen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Histidine-rich glycoprotein; HRG HRGP HPRG; angiogenesis inhibitor; cancer; VEGF; platelets; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) is a heparin-binding plasma protein modulating immune, hemostatic and vascular functions. I have studied the antiangiogenic functions of HRG in vitro and in vivo in order to understand the molecular mechanisms of action of HRG as an angiogenesis inhibitor. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on platelet function and microvesicles in acute coronary syndrome

    Author : Sam Kafian; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : INTRODUCTION: The cornerstone of treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) with aspirin and the ADP-receptor inhibitor clopidogrel. However, some ACS patients will suffer from recurrent cardiovascular events, and it has been shown that this may partly be due to an insufficient antiplatelet response to DAT. READ MORE
