1. Wound Treatment : An overview and initial investigation of wound care and bioactive materials
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskapAbstract : 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

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)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.

3. 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 biovetenskapAbstract : 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.

4. Functionalization of nanofibrillated cellulose with the host defense peptide KR-12
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella materialAbstract : 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

5. Investigation of the gene expression landscape of human skin wounds
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Wound healing is a complex physiological process. Effective wound healing enables the skin barrier function to be restored once the skin is injured. However, due to the complex nature of wounds, the mechanisms underlying tissue repair are still poorly understood. READ MORE
