  1. 21. Guinea pig osteoarthrosis : morphological and biochemical studies

    Författare :Lei Wei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Hartley guinea pigs spontaneously and reproducibly develop an arthropathy mimicking human primary osteoarthrosis. The morphological lesions first appear between 6 and 12 months of age, when it is confined to the non-meniscus-covered central compartment of the medial tibial plateau without initially involving the lateral side.

  3. 22. Chondrocyte-matrix interactions: with emphasis on the collagen binding integrin a10ß1

    Författare :Lisbet Camper; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; muscle system; Skeleton; chondrocyte; integrin; cartilage; chondroadherin; collagen; Biochemistry; metabolism; Biokemi; reumatologi; muskelsystem; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion;

    Sammanfattning : The work in this thesis has been focused on chondrocyte integrins and their interaction with the matrix proteins chondroadherin (CHAD) and collagen type II (CII). Affinity purification of CHAD-binding proteins from chondrocyte lysate, followed by immunoprecipitation of EDTA-eluted material identified alpha2beta1 as a CHAD-binding integrin. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Molecular regulators in cartilage and bone formation

    Författare :Thomas Engstrand; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; cartilage; bone; TGF-beta; BMP; noggin; gene therapy; gene targeting; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Cartilage functions as a scaffold for bone formation during development. This process, endochondral ossification, is regulated by systemic hormones and local growth factors. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Functional analysis of the alpha10beta1 integrin

    Författare :Therese Bengtsson; Malmö Experimentell patologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; cytogenetics; Genetik; cytogenetik; limb; gene targeting; chondrocyte; integrin; cartilage;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study the function of the integrin a10b1. Integrins mediate signals between cells and their environment and regulate several cellular processes such as cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. LÄS MER

  7. 25. On the role of signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis

    Författare :Johan Stenberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteoarthritis; Signalling pathways; proteomics; genomics; GDF5; Wnt;

    Sammanfattning : The problem with degenerating cartilage tissues is one of the major causes for disability worldwide. The aetiology of the cartilage degenerating disease osteoarthritis is elusive and considered to be multifactorial. The aim of the present thesis was to find new hypotheses regarding the aetiology of osteoarthritis with focus on signalling pathways. LÄS MER
