    Sammanfattning : Photodynamic therapy, PDT, is a method to diagnose and treat cancer. In PDT a sensitizer is administered to the patient and this sensitizer is accumulated in tumors. If the sensitizer-containing tumor is subjected to a laser of a specific wavelength the tumor is fluorescing allowing diagnostics. LÄS MER

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

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

    Sammanfattning : 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.
