1. Diffusion in Bone Tissue
Sammanfattning : In order to prevent or modify the processes of bone degeneration the modeling and remodeling of bone tissue must be better understood. In this thesis it is assumed that the primary condition leading to bone growth is a change of the chemical environment caused by transport of matter resulting from stress driven diffusion. LÄS MER
2. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and inflammatory bone modeling
Sammanfattning : Patients with inflammatory or infectious conditions such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, osteomyelitis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis and loosened joint prosthesis display varying severity of destruction in the adjacent bone tissue. Bone loss in inflammatory diseases is considered a consequence of cytokine induced RANKL and subsequent enhanced osteoclast formation. LÄS MER
3. On the Growth of Bone through Stress Driven Diffusion and Bone Generation Processes
Sammanfattning : In order to prevent or modify bone degeneration due to rest or due to diseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis, the modeling and remodeling of bone tissue must be better understood. In this thesis it is assumed that the primary condition leading to bone growth is a change of the chemical environment caused by transport of matter resulting from stress driven diffusion. LÄS MER
4. Stem cells and mineralized tissue : characterization and disease modeling
Sammanfattning : Deficits in mineralized tissue, as a result of abnormal development, trauma, disease or aging, are major medical problems. Consequently, new methods to regenerate stable and functional bone is a main focus in the field of tissue engineering. LÄS MER
5. Multiscale Modelling of Proximal Femur Growth : Importance of Geometry and Influence of Load
Sammanfattning : Longitudinal growth of long bone occurs at growth plates by a process called endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification is affected by both biological and mechanical factors. LÄS MER
