  5. 3. Human articular chondrocytes. Plasticity and differentiation potentials

    Author : Tommi Tallheden; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : autologous chondrocyte transplantation; dedifferentiation; redifferentiation; stem; cells;

    Abstract : Articular cartilage has no or very low ability for self-repair and untreated lesions may lead tothe development of Osteoarthritis (OA). One method, which has been proved to result in longterm repair of isolated lesions, is autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT). 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. Periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip replacement. Incidence, risk factors, and treatment

    Author : Georgios Chatziagorou; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periprosthetic fracture; Interprosthetic fracture; Incidence; Risk factors; Treatment; Outcome; Mortality;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the incidence of surgically treated periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) in Sweden between 2001 and 2011, the demography of this population, risk factors that may contribute to its occurrence and the treatment of these fractures. All four studies in this thesis are observational and are based primarily on material from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) database. READ MORE
