  1. 1. Mathematical modelling of microvascular oxygen transport and the impact of blood pressure

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

    Author : Siri Walmstedt; [2023]
    Keywords : Mathematical modelling; Microcirculation; Oxygen transport; Blood pressure; Hypertension; Systems biology;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death worldwide. There are known risk factorsfor cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure, and it is also known that cardiovasculardiseases are associated with both the macrocirculation and the microcirculation.

  3. 2. Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel as a Scaffold for Cells’ Encapsulation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Susanna Wärmegård; [2022]
    Keywords : hyaluronic acid; hydrogel; 3D cell culture;

    Abstract : Hydrogels are high water-content polymers that mimic the extracellular matrix of cells. The polymers can have many sources and be of natural origin from the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cells or be synthetically derived. READ MORE

  4. 3. A pericyte-specific knockout of Foxf2 in mice shows fibrinogen acculumation in the brain but no regulation in Pdgfr-ß expression

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Ebba Stål; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : FoxF2 is a transcriptional factor that initiates gene expression. Foxf2 is particularly expressed in central nervous system pericytes. Recent studies have displayed that an inactivation of Foxf2 in mice had an impact on the blood-brain barrier integrity with evidence of breakdown. READ MORE

  5. 4. Viability of PEEK for high-temperaturemicrovascular composites manufacture

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Yago Domínguez Muñoz; [2021]
    Keywords : Materials; composite; microvascular; PEEK; high-temperature;

    Abstract : Microvascular composites are materials with an inner hollow network which allows thecirculation of fluids. This functionalizes the composite materials, giving them furtherapplications such as self-healing or active cooling. READ MORE

  6. 5. MRI Signals Simulation for Validation of a New Microvascular Characterization

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Aurélien Delphin; [2019]
    Keywords : MRI; fingerprinting; simulations; MRVox2D;

    Abstract : Conventional MRI techniques are not convenient when it comes to study cerebral microvascularization due to the length of the scans needed. A technique called Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) is an excellent candidate to solve this problem as it requires much shorter scan durations. READ MORE
