  2. 1. Production of neocartilage tissues using primary chondrocytes

    Author : Janne Ylärinne; Mikko Lammi; Chengjuan Qu; Mats Brittberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; primary chondrocytes; articular cartilage; tissue engineering; neocartilage; scaffold; scaffold-free; hyaluronan; self-assembling peptide; TGF-β3; glucosamine sulfate; hypoxia; hypertonic medium; glucose;

    Abstract : Hyaline cartilage is a highly specialized tissue, which plays an important role in the articulating joints of an individual. It provides the joints with a nearly frictionless, impact resisting surface to protect the ends of the articulating bones. READ MORE

  4. 2. In vivo responses of neural progenitor cells to extracellular matrix signaling under pathological conditions

    Author : Reza Motalleb; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peptide Amphiphiles; Biomaterial; Tenascin - C; RGDS; RHAMM; Reactive Gliosis; Rostral Migratory Stream; Extracellular Matrix;

    Abstract : The adult brain has an inherently low capacity for tissue regeneration, and neurons lost to disease or injuries are normally not replaced. This becomes especially apparent when stroke or brain trauma occurs. The discovery of neurogenesis and neural stem cells in the adult brain has opened up new avenues for treatment of the injured brain. READ MORE

  5. 3. Infrared spectroscopy : a tool for protein characterization

    Author : Chenge Li; Andreas Barth; Silvia Maria Doglia; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which belongs to vibrational spectroscopy, detects the vibrations of molecules, for example, proteins. The absorption of the peptide group gives rise to 9 characteristic bands in the infrared region, named A, B, I-VII, with a decreasing energy or wavenumber (cm-1). READ MORE

  6. 4. Amyloid aggregates: detection and interaction

    Author : Mahafuzur Rahman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The research on protein aggregation and amyloid formation is motivated by the fact that amyloid formation in tissue is harmful and associated with several debilitating diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and systemic amyloidosis such as transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis. Nevertheless, their beneficial roles in Nature have recently been identified, and artificial self-assembling of amyloid structure for various applications are emerging. READ MORE
