  2. 21. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells : expansion, engraftment and immune modulation

    Author : Håkan Samuelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Due to their production of hematopoietic growth factors and their immunomodulatory capacity, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC), are a promising tool in the procedure of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Seven patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT were co-infused with MSC. READ MORE

  4. 22. Optimizing stem cells for reconstructive surgery

    Author : Anne Therese Lauvrud; Paul J. Kingham; Rebecca Wiberg; Peyman Kelk; Maria Brohlin; Susanna Kauhanen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue-derived stem cells; liposuction; oncological safety; xenofree growth medium; Human Anatomy; anatomi;

    Abstract : Fat grafting has become an established method in plastic surgery for treating soft tissue defects. The results for survival of the fat being transplanted is unpredictable and supplementation of the graft with the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) or cultures Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) can enhance graft viability.

  5. 23. Human articular chondrocytes. Plasticity and differentiation potentials

    Author : Tommi Tallheden; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : autologous chondrocyte transplantation; dedifferentiation; redifferentiation; stem; cells;

    Abstract : Articular cartilage has no or very low ability for self-repair and untreated lesions may lead tothe development of Osteoarthritis (OA). One method, which has been proved to result in longterm repair of isolated lesions, is autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT). READ MORE

  6. 24. Stem cells for cardiac regeneration

    Author : Ivana Bulatović; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent studies have demonstrated a turnover of cardiomyocytes throughout the adult life. Whether this regenerative potential is due to proliferation and differentiation of resident stem cells or to the dedifferentiation of adult cardiomyocytes remains unclear. READ MORE

  7. 25. Endothelial cells : dysfunction and repair mechanisms

    Author : Elzafir Elsheikh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Endothelial cells; endothelial progenitor cells; Wegener s granulomatosis; atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; menstruation cycle; stromal cell-derived factor-1;

    Abstract : Endothelial cells (ECs) are crucial component of the normal vascular wall, providing an interface between the bloodstream and surrounding tissue of the blood vessel wall. Endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs) circulate in the blood and migrate to regions of the circulatory system with injured endothelium and ischemic tissues. READ MORE
