  1. 1. Blood interactions with bioactive peptidefunctionalized nanocellulose : An evaluation of the activation of the coagulation and complement system

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Vanisha Bansal; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A current trend utilizing the biomedical approach in the field of wound care is focused on the increased potential to develop wound healing materials designed to address specific types of wounds or underlying pathologies to achieve improved healing. The work presented in this thesis evaluates the blood response to wood-derived nanocellulose functionalized with a peptide, with the ultimate aim of characterizing the material as a potential wound dressing for chronic wound care.

  3. 2. Functionalization of nanofibrillated cellulose with the host defense peptide KR-12

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Alina Pavelescu; [2021]
    Keywords : KR-12; cellulose;

    Abstract : When the process of wound healing is disturbed, chronic wounds may develop. Chronic wounds heal very slowly over long periods of time, and require specialised care in order to prevent further infection. This causes considerable suffering to the patient and increased healthcare costs. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of electrospun lignin/polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofiber mats

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Lisa Johansson Carne; [2021]
    Keywords : Electrospinning; lignin; polyvinyl alcohol; cellulose nanofiber; wound dressing;

    Abstract : Polymeric electrospun nanofiber mats have recently emerged as a promising alternative to conventional wound dressings for non-healing wounds. Its large surface area, porosity and scalability are only a few of the promising characteristics of electrospun nanofibers. READ MORE

  5. 4. Luftig sårläkning : en studie om en ny typ av sårförband

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Cornelia Kronlund; Johanna Hellberg; [2021]
    Keywords : fukt; förband; häst; Rheva; smuts; sår; sårhantering;

    Abstract : En av de vanligaste skadorna på hästar är någon form av sår. Veterinären har till uppgift att avgöra vilken hantering som är lämpligast för det aktuella såret. I de fall där det är möjligt brukar en primär sårläkning vara att föredra då såret läker både snabbare och med mindre ärrvävnad än vid sekundär sårläkning. READ MORE
