In vitro wound healing characteristics of amelogenins
(2011-05-09)
Wound healing involves the co-ordinated actions of several cell types, soluble cell mediators and extracellular matrix (ECM). This research project intended to investigate the role of certain ECM proteins in different ...
A methodological platform to study molecular biocompatibility of biomaterials. Experimental and clinical studies
(2016-05-13)
The aim of this project was to develop a methodological platform in order to advance our scientific understanding of the mechanisms of osseointegration. Screw-shaped, titanium implants, with different surface properties, ...
The percutaneous implant. The effects of design, host site and surgery on the tissue response
(2018-02-14)
This research project focuses on the multiple challenges associated with implants that breach the skin. The role of device design, host site, and surgical approach on tissue response and outcome are evaluated, experimentally ...
The effect of intra-abdominal local anaesthetics following major gynaecological surgery. Clinical and experimental studies
(2020-05-18)
Background: Local anaesthetics (LA), in addition to inhibition of pain signalling, also have anti-inflammatory
properties. In vitro studies have demonstrated anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effect of
LAs on cancer cells ...
Effects of antiresorptive agents on inflammation and bone regeneration in different osseous sites - experimental and clinical studies
(2014-09-29)
ABSTRACT
The biological mechanisms involved in bone regeneration in osteoporotic bone and the effect of antiresorptive drugs in relation to surgically inserted biomaterials are not fully understood. Improved osseointegration ...
Biomarkers in mid-trimester amniotic fluid in relation to gestational duration and spontaneous preterm delivery
(2020-05-15)
Background: The biological mechanisms and physiological pathways of pregnancy maintenance and timing of delivery are complex and multifactorial. Pregnancy clocks, partly controlled by timing mechanisms linked to fetal ...
On the biological response to different biomaterials under normal and irradiated conditions
(2022-03-10)
There are several challenges when introducing an implant into a host. Concerning soft tissues, major complications are fibrosis and capsule contracture, whereas for bone, failure of osseointegration may occur. In addition ...
Short- and long-term outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
(2023-09-15)
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a sudden and devastating event with significant morbidity and mortality. The development of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major contributor to the observed high morbidity. ...
