1. Production of neocartilage tissues using primary chondrocytes
Sammanfattning : Hyaline cartilage is a highly specialized tissue, which plays an important role in the articulating joints of an individual. It provides the joints with a nearly frictionless, impact resisting surface to protect the ends of the articulating bones. LÄS MER
2. In vivo responses of neural progenitor cells to extracellular matrix signaling under pathological conditions
Sammanfattning : The adult brain has an inherently low capacity for tissue regeneration, and neurons lost to disease or injuries are normally not replaced. This becomes especially apparent when stroke or brain trauma occurs. The discovery of neurogenesis and neural stem cells in the adult brain has opened up new avenues for treatment of the injured brain. LÄS MER
3. Infrared spectroscopy : a tool for protein characterization
Sammanfattning : Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which belongs to vibrational spectroscopy, detects the vibrations of molecules, for example, proteins. The absorption of the peptide group gives rise to 9 characteristic bands in the infrared region, named A, B, I-VII, with a decreasing energy or wavenumber (cm-1). LÄS MER
4. Amyloid aggregates: detection and interaction
Sammanfattning : The research on protein aggregation and amyloid formation is motivated by the fact that amyloid formation in tissue is harmful and associated with several debilitating diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and systemic amyloidosis such as transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis. Nevertheless, their beneficial roles in Nature have recently been identified, and artificial self-assembling of amyloid structure for various applications are emerging. LÄS MER
