1. Roles of the Shb and Cbl Proteins in Signal Transduction and Blood Vessel Formation
Sammanfattning : Formation of blood vessels occurs through two processes: vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, which are regulated by various growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor. The present study was carried out in order to investigate the roles of the Shb and Cbl proteins in growth factor-mediated signal transduction and blood vessel formation. LÄS MER
2. Blood protein coated model biomaterials : preparation, and cell and tissue response
Sammanfattning : Solid biomaterials are widely used in bone and in soft tissue applications. Problems may then arise due to a prolonged inflammation in the proximity of the implant, resulting in the formation of a fibrous capsule and a low vascularisation near the interface. LÄS MER
3. On Aortic Blood Flow Simulations : Scale-Resolved Image-Based CFD
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on modeling and simulation of the blood flow in the aorta, the largest artery in the human body. It is an accepted fact that abnormal biological and mechanical interactions between the blood flow and the vessel wall are involved in the genesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER
4. Formation of Composite Islet Grafts : A novel strategy to promote islet survival and revascularization
Sammanfattning : The islets of Langerhans are small and delicate spheroid organs scattered in the pancreas responsible for insulin production. Transplantation of isolated islets is a beneficial therapy for patients with a severe form of type 1 diabetes. LÄS MER
5. Bioactivation and binding of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in blood vessel endothelia
Sammanfattning : Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants formed by incomplete combustion of organic materials such as fossil fuels and wood. Experimental and epidemiological studies indicate that PAHs may be involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER
