  2. 21. Extracellular matrix mimetic multi-functional scaffolds for tissue engineering and biomedical applications

    Author : Ranjithkumar Ravichandran; Jaywant Phopase; Anthony Turner; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Regeneration of functional tissues or complex organs via the combination of viable cells, biomimetic scaffolds, morphogenic factors, and external biophysical cues are the principle aims of Tissue Engineering (TE). TE relies on the use of artificial 3D scaffolds that can mimic the microenvironment of native tissue to harness the regenerative potential of cells. READ MORE

  4. 22. Advances in Bone Tissue Engineering

    Author : Björn Schönmeyr; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Bone deficiencies, caused by malformations, trauma or adverse effects from medical treatments, are a clinical challenge and often associated with reduced physical function and quality of life. Autologeous bone grafts can be used to reconstruct skeletal defects, but the right size and quality of bone might not always be available and even so, donor-site morbidity might follow. READ MORE

  5. 23. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis : inflammation, muscle structure and immunosuppressive treatment

    Author : Ingela Loell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are chronic, inflammatory disorders characterized by muscle weakness, low muscle endurance and by inflammation in skeletal muscle tissues. The pathogenesis is not completely understood and several mechanisms are believed to be involved. READ MORE

  6. 24. Regenerative medicine of the airway cartilage : a morphological and immunohistochemical study with focus on cricoid cartilage defects treated with BMP-2

    Author : Ion Tcacencu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Larynx; growth factor; wound healing; perichondrium; progenitor cells; osteogenesis; growth plate.;

    Abstract : Background: Cartilage provides flexible support for upper airway. Induction of cartilage healing is required for the success of many surgical interventions in the head and neck that are used as treatments for several diseases, such as subglottic stenosis and tumors of the larynx and thyroid.

  7. 25. Somatic mutations in healthy cells and age-associated diseases

    Author : Hafdis Thorunn Helgadottir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aging is a complex process that affects all living organisms. As we age, the biological functions are affected, resulting in a decline of the tissue and possibly age-related diseases. Several environmental and genetic factors have been suggested to contribute to aging. READ MORE
