17. Multi-functional Hyaluronan Based Biomaterials for Biomedical Applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents strategies for constructing multi-functional biomaterials based on hyaluronan (HA) derivatives for various biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, tissue regeneration, and imaging biomaterials. The aim of this study is to improve the functionalities of HA biomaterials as well as simplify the preparation procedures. LÄS MER
18. Evaluation of Functionalized Biopolymers as a Step Toward Targeted Therapy of Osteoporosis
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis focuses on the development of strategies and smart bioactive materials for the treatment of osteoporosis. High and low molecular weight soluble hyaluronic acid-bisphosphonate (HA-BP) derivatives were investigated for their ability to inhibit osteoclasts. LÄS MER
19. Radiotherapy Gel Dosimetry: Development and Application of Normoxic Polymer Gels
Sammanfattning : In many radiotherapy applications, true three-dimensional dosimetry with good spatial resolution that can be achieved in a single measurement would be of great value. Polymer gel dosimetry fulfils many of the demands on such a system. In this study, methods to facilitate the implementation of gel dosimetry have been investigated. LÄS MER
20. Relating the Bulk and Interface Structure of Hyaluronan to Physical Properties of Future Biomaterials
Sammanfattning : This dissertation describes a structural investigation of hyaluronan (HA) with neutron scattering techniques. HA is a natural biopolymer and one of the major components of the extracellular matrix, synovial fluid, and vitreous humor. LÄS MER
