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

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

    Sammanfattning : 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.

  3. 2. Composite Regenerative Scaffolds

    Författare :Elle Edin; Jöns Hilborn; May Griffith; Alicia El Haj; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nerve; neurite; regeneration; PEDOT; PEDOT:Tosylate; electrostimulation; Kemi med inriktning mot polymerkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Polymer Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering solutions of heavily innervated tissues are at this point lacklustre. This thesis expands our knowledge of appropriate acellular scaffolds for tissue repair in general and nerve regeneration in particular. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Collagen Hydrogels for Regenerative Medicine

    Författare :Justina Pupkaite; Peter Påhlsson; Erik Suuronen; May Griffith; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The need for regenerative therapies to repair damaged or deteriorated organs and tissues, such as heart, skin, and cornea, is rising due to donor shortage and aging of the world’s population. Many proposed regenerative therapeutic approaches include a combination of cells, bioactive compounds, and hydrogels. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Fucoidan-Mimetic Glycopolymers : Synthesis and Biomedical Applications

    Författare :Mattias Tengdelius; Peter Konradsson; May Griffith; Peter Påhlsson; Mats Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The marine polysaccharide fucoidan has demonstrated several interesting biological properties, for instance being antiviral, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and platelet activating. Many of these properties are desirable for various biomedical applications. Yet, there are few reports on fucoidan being used in such applications. LÄS MER
