  2. 1. The role of the adventitia and perivascular tissue for the formation of intimal hyperplasia

    Author : Per Fogelstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Intimal hyperplasia; adventitia; perivascular tissue; smooth muscle cells; fibroblasts; balloon injury; vein graft; artificial graft;

    Abstract : Symptomatic atherosclerosis is commonly treated with balloon angioplasty or bypass surgery. About 30% of the interventions will re-narrow within a year due to restenosis and graft-stenosis. Thickening of the luminal layer, the intima, is an important component in these side-effects.

  7. 5. Fibrosis in the central nervous system : the role of perivascular cells

    Author : Daniel Holl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Regeneration in the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is very limited. One limiting factor is the formation of chronic scar tissue, which inhibits axonal regeneration and functional recovery. READ MORE
