  2. 21. Vitamin A and ß-carotene metabolism and effects of UV irradiation in human keratinocytes and melanocytes

    Author : Eva Andersson; Helen Håkansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Retinoids (vitamin A and its derivatives) are modulators of proliferation and differentiation. Both retinol (ROH) and its metabolite 3,4-didehydroretinol (ddROH) can be converted to retinoic acid (RA) and 3,4-didehydroretinoic acid (ddRA), ligands for the nuclear receptors, which induce gene transcriptions.

  5. 23. In vitro and in vivo studies on biodegradable matrices for autotransplantation

    Author : Carl-Johan Gustafson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : In vitro; in vivo; dermis; matrix; autotransplantation; culture; keratinocytes; urothelium; tissue engineering; PUUR; macroporous spheres ; guided tissue regeneration;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering (TE), one of the most rapidly growing fields of life science, is an interdisciplinary area in which technical, biological and medical expertise co-fertilize on another with the ultimate aim of restoring, maintaining or improving tissues and/or organs. This purpose links TE closely to research concerning reconstructive plastic surgery. READ MORE

  6. 24. Studies on the interaction of human cells with transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery

    Author : Katarina Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cell culture; Keratinocytes; Fibroblasts; Endothelial cells; Reepithelialization; In vitro endothelialization; Tissue engineering; Biomaterial: Dermal substitute; Synthetic vascular graft; Heart valve bioprosthesis;

    Abstract : Tissue engineering is becoming an important field for the development of new tissues in vitro for replacement of diseased or worn out parts of the body. This thesis describes some characteristics of cultured human cells seeded on transplantable materials for skin repair and cardiovascular surgery. READ MORE

  7. 25. The human antimicrobial protein hCAP18/LL37 in wound healing and cell proliferation

    Author : Johan Heilborn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Innate immunity; antimicrobial peptides; LL-37; epithelial cell; keratinocytes; proliferation; reepithelialization; wound healing; tissue repair; angiogenesis; tumor growth; vitamin D;

    Abstract : Epithelia constitute the principal barriers separating the host and the potentially injurious environment, and defence of this interface is therefore essential. Antimicrobial peptides are key effector molecules of the innate immune system. READ MORE
