Sammanfattning : Liver transplantation is limited by lack of donors and consequently there is a need to develop liver support/replacement therapies, such as hepatocyte transplantation (HcTx) and artificial livers. In the present thesis, the effects of these therapies were investigated. First, we established a technique of isolating fetal hepatocytes (FH). LÄS MER
7. Reconstitution of the B-cell repertoire following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation
Sammanfattning : Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is an established therapy for patients with a variety of haematological malignancies. Patients undergoing BMT often suffer from severe infections that can be partly explained by humoral immune deficiency. LÄS MER
8. Genetic and metabolic studies towards personalized conditioning regimen prior to stem cell transplantation
Sammanfattning : Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for several malignant and non- malignant diseases. The busulphan (Bu)/cyclophosphamide (Cy) combination is one of the most common conditioning regimens given prior to HSCT. LÄS MER

Although successful transplantation eliminates some factors related to poor organ function, all increased incidence of pathologic fractures was reported ill the early post-transplant period in spite of normalization of the allograft function.
