1. Nanostructured Artificial Biointerfaces
Sammanfattning : AbstractThe interactions occurring between biological systems and the surface of biomaterials hasbeen an area of strong research focus for a number of decades. There has been a realisation ofthe importance of macromolecular interactions and a consequent need to understandbiointerfacial events at the nanometer length-scale. LÄS MER
2. The Mechanisms of Exocytosis Studied in Cells and Models with Amperometry
Sammanfattning : Exocytosis is the universal basis for neuronal communication, allowing the controlled release of neurotransmitter molecules from the presynaptic cell. Exocytosis has been widely studied in many systems. However, the details of this vital process are not fully understood. LÄS MER
3. On the operation of light-emitting electrochemical cells
Sammanfattning : We are in the midst of a technological revolution that permeates nearly all human activities; artificial light is one of the most visible contributors in this societal change. If more efficient, green, and versatile light sources can be developed, they might improve the life of millions of people around the world while causing minimal damage to our climate and environment.

4. Manipulating neural stem cells
Sammanfattning : The stem cell field is a fairly young but fast growing scientific field. Our understanding of stem cells has changed tremendously over the last couple of decades. This in mainly due to the development of new techniques that has enabled us to study stem cells from a completely new perspective. LÄS MER
5. Nerve gap repair by the use of artificial conduits and cultured cells
Sammanfattning : Peripheral nerve injuries are often associated with loss of nerve tissue and require autologous nerve grafts to provide a physical substrate for axonal growth. This thesis investigates the use of fibrin as both a tubular conduit to guide nerve regeneration and also as a matrix material to suspend various regenerative cell types within/on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) nerve conduits.
