1. 1. Wound Treatment : An overview and initial investigation of wound care and bioactive materials

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

   Author : Louise Ringholm; [2023]
   Keywords : Wound treatment; wound care; bioactive materials; calcium silicate;

   Abstract : Wound care is a field with many treatment methods and products on the market. The healing period varies, some wounds become difficult to heal and chronic, in many cases a connection can be drawn to underlying diseases. Diabetes is a disease that could cause foot ulcers that are difficult to heal. READ MORE

3. 2. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
   Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

4. 3. Evaluation of the platelet yield index on interim platelet units from Reveos by comparison with platelet count from Sysmex

   University essay from

   Author : Jennifer Ahlin; [2023]
   Keywords : fluorescent flow cytometry; transfusion; blood component; automation; blood processing system;

   Abstract : Background: Platelets are the smallest cells in the blood and are involved in the wound healing process. Platelet transfusion is an important part of treating illnesses such as thrombocytopenia and to prevent and stop major bleedings. READ MORE

5. 4. Novel ways of treating bacterial skin infections: the antimicrobial peptides REI-26 and CD4-PP

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Magdalena de Arriba Sánchez de la Campa; [2022]
   Keywords : Antimicrobial peptides; skin infections; wound healing;

   Abstract : Severe skin and soft-tissue infections can lead to septic shock and organ failure. Antibiotic treatment is turning ineffective due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for the need for novel antimicrobial therapies such as antimicrobial peptides. READ MORE

6. 5. 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.
