  1. 21. Characterisation and Identification of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and the Impact of Different Culturing Media

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Sana Said Yahya; [2023]
    Keywords : Culturing media; Fetal bovine serum; Human serum; Cell proliferation; In-vitro differentiation;

    Abstract : Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types and possess immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, making them interesting candidates for therapeutic applications. MSCs are present in small quantities in tissues like bone marrow and therefore need to be expanded while preserving their essential characteristics. READ MORE

  2. 22. Difference in Marginal Bone Loss Around Implants Between ShortImplant-Supported Partial Fixed Prostheses With and Without Cantilever : A Retrospective Clinical Study

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Odontologiska fakulteten (OD)

    Author : Josef Al-Kilani; Sedef Al-Kilani; [2023]
    Keywords : Implant-supported fixed partial prosthesis; cantilever; marginal bone loss;

    Abstract : Abstract  Objective:The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the influence of a cantilever on marginal bone loss (MBL) around dental implants supporting 3-unit partial fixed prostheses.  Materials and methods:Retrospective data were collected from dental records of patients at a specialist clinic in Malmö, Sweden, covering the period from 1980 to 2018.

  3. 23. Visualizing osteonecrosis of jaws through neutrophil elastase : [11C]NES novel PET tracer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för läkemedelskemi

    Author : Amanda Dannberg; Theodora Martinez; [2023]
    Keywords : [11C]NES; HNC; MRONJ; neutrophil granulocytes; ORN; osteonecrosis; PET CT; radiation therapy; [11C]NES; huvud- och halscancer; MRONJ; neutrofila granulocyter; ORN; osteonekros; PET CT; strålbehandling;

    Abstract : Radiation and medical drugs are used to fight head and neck cancer, but unfortunately in some cases these treatments cause development of other diseases and injuries. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and medical-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) are dreaded late complications in jaws from radiation therapy and medical drugs and cause great suffering to those affected.

  4. 24. Identification of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Culturing Media Effects on Proliferation, Differentiation, and Cell Surface Markers

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Alice Törne; [2023]
    Keywords : MSC Characterization; Differentiation; Flowcytometry; Culturing media; T24;

    Abstract : The mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) is of great interest for its immunomodulatory and regenerative properties. However, to research and use these MSCs it is essential to identify and characterize them as such. They need to fulfill the MSCs' minimal criteria which assess the differentiation potential, cell surface markers, and adherence. READ MORE

  5. 25. Inclusion of more sources in a commercial brachytherapy Monte Carlo

    University essay from

    Author : Philip Wiman; Emil Forsberg; Robin Vestling; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Brachytherapy is a cancer treatment method where a solid radioactive source is placed inside the body in order to target cancer cells with a high dose of radiation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The most common method for treatment planning in brachytherapy is the TG43 formalism where the whole patient geometry is treated as water. READ MORE
