  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Regulation of Fibroblast Activity by Keratinocytes

    Author : Daniel Nowinski; Mikael Ivarsson; Bengt Gerdin; Elof Ph D M.D. Eriksson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; conective tissue growth factor; interleukin-1; fibroblast; keratinocyte; wound healing; burns; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : In the healing of cutaneous wounds, paracrine communication between keratinocytes and fibroblasts regulates cell differentiation, proliferation and synthesis of extracellular matrix. Deficient epidermal coverage, as seen in burn-wounds, frequently results in hypertrophic scars. READ MORE

  6. 4. Guided Regeneration of the Human Skin : in vitro and in vivo studies

    Author : Erika Nyman; Gunnar Kratz; Fredrik Huss; Joakim Henricson; Lars B. Dahlin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Every day and in all parts of the world, humans experience different grades of wounding and tissue loss of the skin, thus initiating one of the most complex biological processes. Acute and chronic wounds, as well as the additional problem of skin scarring, involve not only great suffering for the patient but also extensive health care costs for the society. READ MORE

  7. 5. Water, hyaluronan and surface shape in corneal wound healing after excimer surgery : experimental studies

    Author : Beat A Weber; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : photorefractive keratectomy; excimer laser; rabbit; cornea; wound healing; microradiography; hyaluronan; planimetry; leukocyte protein marker; haze; regression; surface irregularities; subepithelial deposits; remodeling; epithelial hyperplasia; corticosteroids;

    Abstract : Excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) has evolved to a widely performed procedure. The excimer laser corrects refractive ametropias by removing a calculated amount of anterior corneal stroma with great precision and with minimal damage to the adjacent tissues. The correction of myopia up to -5. READ MORE
