26. Collagen of the extracellular matrix. Functional and structural studies
Sammanfattning : The cancer microenvironment has been attracting increasing attention as the realization of its importance for both disease treatment and malignant progression. Here the aim was to elucidate some of the effects and mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment related to the extracellular matrix (ECM). LÄS MER
27. Bacterial interaction with the fibrinolytic system and extracellular matrix
Sammanfattning : Bacterial infection of host organisms is a state of complex interaction between the parasite and the host. Two critical steps in the infectious process are: Adhesion to the epithelial surfaces and penetration of tissue barriers to gain entrance to tissues and into the circulation. These two steps have been the subjects of this thesis. LÄS MER
28. Engineering the extracellular matrix to model diseases and orchestrate regeneration
Sammanfattning : The extracellular matrix is not only a scaffold to which cells attach, but it is also a matrix that communicates cell signals. Because of the interplay between cells and the extracellular matrix, changes in the extracellular matrix can steer cell fate. LÄS MER
29. Decellularized liver extracellular matrix as a 3D scaffold for bioengineering applications
Sammanfattning : The increasing global burden of end-stage liver disease has increased the need for liver transplantation, the definitive cure. However, there is a huge discrepancy between the number of available organ donors and the number of patients waiting for transplantation, resulting in the deaths of a significant number of patients on the waiting list as only 10% of the global need for transplantation is met.

30. Immune Responses Aginst Aldehyde Modified Extracellular Matrix in Atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and the leading cause of myocardial infarction and stroke. Accumulation, aggregation and subsequent oxidation of LDL in the arterial wall are considered as key events in the development of atherosclerosis. LÄS MER
