  2. 11. Connective tissue contraction in wound healing : An experimental study in vivo and in vitro

    Author : M. Reza Ghassemifar; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Contraction of connective tissue is an important part of tissue repair that reduces the wound space and helps to decrease the formation of scar tissue, both of which are needed to restore tissue integrity. In the present study, certain cellular mechanisms that are active during connective tissue contraction were assessed and the influence of transforming growth factor-. READ MORE

  4. 12. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy. Therapy Settings and Biological Effects in Peripheral Wounds

    Author : Ola Borgquist; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Negative pressure wound therapy; vacuum-assisted closure; wound healing;

    Abstract : Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) promotes wound healing through several mechanisms, e.g., altered periwound blood flow, mechanical deformation of the wound edge tissue, and drainage of excess fluid and debris. READ MORE

  5. 13. Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in keratocytes : importance in corneal wound healing processes

    Author : Marta Sloniecka; Patrik Danielson; May Griffith; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; substance P; acetylcholine; migration; proliferation; apoptosis; corneal stroma;

    Abstract : Background: The cornea is the outermost transparent layer of the eye and it is responsible for the majorityof the eye’s total focusing power. Keratocytes are the resident cells of the corneal stroma and their function isto produce extracellular matrix components and to take part in corneal healing after injury, which may occurdue to trauma, infection or surgery.

  6. 14. Acute inflammation on model biomaterial surfaces : studies on proteins, neutrophils and platelets

    Author : Jonas Wetterö; Ulf Sjöbring; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Although most biomedical devices are non-toxic, disturbed acute and chronic inflammation and the lack of integration in tissues is a concern. At the time of biomaterial insertion, protein adsorption onto material surfaces precedes cell adhesion and is believed to alter unfavorably the acute inflammatory response and the subsequent tissue healing.

  7. 15. Ion-Crosslinked Nanocellulose Hydrogels for Advanced Wound Care Applications

    Author : Alex Basu; Natalia Ferraz; Pentti Tengvall; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanofibrillated cellulose; wood nanocellulose; ion crosslinking; hydrogel; wound healing; biocompatibility; blood interactions; bacterial interactions; protein carrier; nanotherapeutic; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

    Abstract : A current trend in the field of wound care is the development of wound healing materials that are designed to address specific types of wounds or underlying pathologies to achieve improved healing. At the same time, there is a societal drive to replace synthetic materials with renewable alternatives. READ MORE
