  2. 1. Effect of Hyaluronan-activation of CD44 on Cell Signaling and Tumorigenesis

    Author : Lingli Li; Paraskevi Heldin; Raija H. Tammi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biomedicine; Hyaluronan; CD44; growth factors; chemokines; tumorigenesis; wound healing; cell signaling; Biomedicin;

    Abstract : Hyaluronan (HA), a structural component in the extracellular matrix (ECM), has been recognized as a signaling molecule. It is important during various biological activities such as embryogenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing and tumor progression. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of pH on platelets release of growth factors in wound healing

    Author : Yawei Liu; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Wound healing is thought to involve a complex series of interactions between biochemical mediators, cells and extracellular matrix. Known to stimulate cellular movement, proliferation and biosynthetic activity, growth factors may play a significant role in stimulating wound repair. This thesis focuses on the early phase of wound healing. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in keratocytes : importance in corneal wound healing processes

    Author : Marta Sloniecka; Patrik Danielson; May Griffith; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; substance P; acetylcholine; migration; proliferation; apoptosis; corneal stroma;

    Abstract : Background: The cornea is the outermost transparent layer of the eye and it is responsible for the majorityof the eye’s total focusing power. Keratocytes are the resident cells of the corneal stroma and their function isto produce extracellular matrix components and to take part in corneal healing after injury, which may occurdue to trauma, infection or surgery.

  6. 4. Inflammation and wound healing following photorefractive keratectomy

    Author : Santiago Tomás Barberán; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Photorefractive keratectomy; excimer laser; inflammation; flare; prostaglandins; diclofenac; dexamethasone; pain; epithelial healing; corneal topography; growth factors; metalloproteinases; collagen; haze; haze distribution; Scheimpflug system; Laser Flare Meter; regression; reoperation; wound healing;

    Abstract : This study comprises different aspects on the inflammatory and wound healing responses of the eye after Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK). The purpose was to provide basic information about the inflammatory reaction and the wound healing after surgery. PRK is considered a good technique for surgical correction of and moderate myopia.

  7. 5. Interactions between staphylococci, heparin, heparin dependent growth factors and biomaterials

    Author : Corina Fallgren; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; and biomaterials bonded with antibiotics; heparin-binding growth factors; staphylococci; heparin; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Resident skin micro-organisms such as S. epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), are by far the most common causes of biomaterial-associated infections. These micro-organisms often exhibit surface adhesins that specifically bind serum and tissue proteins adsorbed to implanted biomaterials. READ MORE
