1. Soft tissue integration to dental implants
Sammanfattning : Soft tissue integration is a prerequisite for implant success. The role of the soft tissue barrier at implants is to provide an effective seal that protects the underlying bone and prevents access for microorganisms and their products. LÄS MER
2. Connective tissue contraction in wound healing : An experimental study in vivo and in vitro
Sammanfattning : Contraction of connective tissue is an important part of tissue repair that reduces the wound space and helps to decrease the formation of scar tissue, both of which are needed to restore tissue integrity. In the present study, certain cellular mechanisms that are active during connective tissue contraction were assessed and the influence of transforming growth factor-. LÄS MER
3. Stimulation of wound healing in connective tissue : An experimental study using the perforated rat mesentery
Sammanfattning : Different aspects of wound healing in connective tissue were studied in the perloratedrat- mesentery model after mast cell activation and treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF). This wound model is considered to reflect pure connective tissue repair. LÄS MER
4. Fibromodulin and chondroadherin in connective tissue homeostasis
Sammanfattning : Connective tissue contains a prominent extracellular matrix (ECM), which provides for physiological and mechanical properties. Intra- and inter-molecular interactions between proteins in this ECM provide for the formation of molecular networks. These interactions determine the shape of the tissue as well as cell behavior.

5. Integrin αVβ3-Directed Contraction by Connective Tissue Cells : Role in Control of Interstitial Fluid Pressure and Modulation by Bacterial Proteins
Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed at studying mechanisms involved in control of tissue fluid homeostasis during inflammation.The interstitial fluid pressure (PIF) is of importance for control of tissue fluid balance. A lowering of PIF in vivo will result in a transport of fluid from the circulation into the tissue, leading to edema. LÄS MER
