  1. 1. Craniofacial bone reconstruction with bone morphogenetic protein-2

    Författare :Ann-Charlott Docherty Skogh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :bone morphogenetic protein;

    Sammanfattning : Bone defects in the craniofacial area are a clinical challenge and can be the result of trauma, tumour resection or congenital malformations. The golden standard for reconstruction is autologous bone grafts, but bone may not always be readily available and donor-site morbidity might follow. LÄS MER

    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

  4. 3. Directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells : a model for early bone development

    Författare :Elerin Kärner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Research in stem cell biology is an important and necessary requirement for the better understanding of cell differentiation and formation of tissues, while also contributing to the field of regenerative medicine. The establishment of human embryonic stem cell (HESC) lines offers the potential to study the earliest developmental processes and provides an unlimited source of cells which can be used for the differentiation into functional osteoblasts.
