1. The role of 1-intergrins in skeletal muscle differentiation and extracellular matrix assembly
Sammanfattning : Integrin subunit β1 forms heterodimeric receptors with at least 12 different α-subunits.These integrins are the main cellular receptors for extracellular matrix and they arenecessary for normal development. In this thesis, the effects of lack of integrin subunitβ1 on matrix deposition and on skeletal muscle development were studied. LÄS MER
2. An Insight into the Critical Role of Microstructure and Surface Preparation on Localized Conversion Coating Deposition on Cast Al Alloys
Sammanfattning : The spontaneous cerium conversion coating formation over aluminium alloys is affected by the chemical process conditions, the surface preparation prior to conversion treatment and the microstructure of the underlying alloy. Most research performed until now focus only on the former whereas the influence of the latter two is poorly understood. LÄS MER
3. Extracellular Matrix Based Materials for Tissue Engineering
Sammanfattning : The extracellular matrix is (ECM) is a network of large, structural proteins and polysaccharides, important for cellular behavior, tissue development and maintenance. Present thesis describes work exploring ECM as scaffolds for tissue engineering by manipulating cells cultured in vitro or by influencing ECM expression in vivo. LÄS MER
4. Diesel exhaust and wood smoke : mechanisms, inflammation and intervention
Sammanfattning : Background Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is associated with increased respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Diesel engine exhaust (DE) and wood combustion are major contributors to ambient air pollution and adverse health effects. LÄS MER
5. Extracellular Matrix Alterations in Patients with Different Phenotypes of Asthma
Sammanfattning : AbstractAsthma is a chronic disease that affects approximately 300 million people worldwide, and the prevalence is increasing. It has become clear that asthma is a highly heterogeneous disease, with overlapping symptoms but with diverse immunopathology and clinical phenotypes. LÄS MER
