On a novel technique for preparation and analysis of the implant surface and its interface to bone
(2008-06-13)
The ultrastructural and biomechanical properties of the bone-implant interface are important factors for implant performance. For further understanding of the osseointegration process novel tools enabling analysis of the ...
On the Autonomic Control of Blood Flow and Secretion in Salivary Glands. Functional and morphological aspects on muscarinic receptor subtypes in different species.
(2008-02-25)
Parasympathetic nervous activity is the principal stimulus for evoking fluid responses within salivary glands. Concomitantly to the onset of this response, the blood flow increases. The responses, in particular the ...
The Role of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin in the Regulation of Amino Acid Transporters in the Human Placenta
(2008-11-14)
Abnormal fetal growth, which is associated with both perinatal morbidity as well as metabolic diseases in adulthood, is an important clinical problem affecting as many as 15% of all pregnancies. However, to this date, there ...
On Bone Regeneration in Porous Bioceramics - Studies in humans and rabbits using free form fabricated scaffolds
(2008-09-26)
The objective of the present thesis was to evaluate the effect of material chemistry and macroand
micro-porosity on bone regeneration in association with synthetic, porous ceramic materials.
Ceramic scaffolds were designed ...
