  2. 1. Recombinant amelogenin - Strategies for purification and protein processing

    Author : Johan Svensson Bonde; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Recombinant amelogenin; protein purification; fusion protein; purification tag; enamel; hydroxyapatite; matrix protein; dental regeneration; wound healing; bone formation;

    Abstract : Amelogenin is an extracellular matrix protein involved in formation of enamel during early tooth development. By interacting with the forming enamel crystallites amelogenin affects their growth, so that highly elongated hydroxyapatite crystals are formed. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the repair of the dentine barrier

    Author : Helena Fransson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dentine; dental pulp capping; immunohistochemistry; enamel matrix proteins; bacteria; dental pulp exposure;

    Abstract : Det övergripande målet för avhandlingen har varit att studera några aspekter av läkningen av tandens huvudsakliga hårdvävnad, dentinet. Vid mycket djupa kariesangrepp där dentinet förstörts och pulpan därmed blottats, rotbehandlas ofta tanden vilket innebär att pulpan tas bort och att rotkanalen fylls med ett rotfyllningsmaterial.

  5. 3. Gene expression during hard tissue formation

    Author : Catharina Ellerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : bone; dentin; mRNA; fibrillar collagens; osteonectin; fibronectin; development; rat;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to study the formation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone and dentin during development. Molecular techniques, such as in situ hybridization and RT-PCR, were used to investigate the occurrence of specific gene products in formative cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. RP59 : a novel stem cell protein and mapping of its expression

    Author : Anders Krüger-Almerén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to study the expression pattern of a novel protein daring developmental processes. Firstly we identified so far unknown mRNA sequences coding for frequently expressed proteins in primitive mesenchymal cells in bone marrow and osteoblasts. READ MORE

  7. 5. Metalloproteinases in development and disease

    Author : Zhongjun Zhou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Metalloproteinases are Zn-dependent proteases composed of five superfamilies. One important subfamily is the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that process various components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and non-ECM proteins. READ MORE
