Both the environment and genes are important for concentrations of cadmium and lead in blood
(The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2000-08)Concentrations of cadmium and lead in blood (BCd and BPb, respectively) are traditionally used as biomarkers of environmental exposure. We estimated the influence of genetic factors on these markers in a cohort of 61 ...Journal article -
Using Growth velocity to predict child mortality
(American Society for Nutrition, 2016)Background: Growth assessment based on the WHO child growth velocity standards can potentially be used to predict adverse health outcomes. Nevertheless, there are very few studies on growth velocity to predict mortality. ...Journal article -
Paracrine Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Dental Tissues - in vitro and in vivo studies
(The University of Bergen, 2016-03-17)In regenerative medicine or dentistry, it has been reported that stem cells induce the regenerative potential of injured tissues. In the present thesis, pulp and periapical tissues as well as pulpal cells were exposed to ...Doctoral thesis -
Conditioned medium from human bone marrow stromal cells attenuates initial inflammatory reactions in dental pulp tissue
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2016-05-04)Aim. To evaluate the effect of MSC-conditioned medium (CM) on the secretion of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines from dental pulp cells (hDPC) in vitro, and on the gene expression in vivo after replantation of rat molars. ...Journal article -
Influence of bone marrow stromal cell secreted molecules on pulpal and periodontal healing in replanted immature rat molars
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2015-12-10)Aim. To investigate the effect of paracrine factors secreted from human bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC-CM) on pulpal and periodontal healing following immediate replantation of maxillary rat first molars. Material and ...Journal article -
Bioactive copolymer scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Efficacy and host response
(The University of Bergen, 2015-12-11)Current research focuses on developing a novel bone-inducing scaffold that could deliver controlled osteogenic growth factors. Several aspects, in particular those influencing the efficacy of such bioactive scaffolds, such ...Doctoral thesis -
Conditioned media from hypoxic-cultured human dental pulp cells promotes bone healing during distraction osteogenesis
(Wiley, 2015-11-27)Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a surgical procedure used to correct various skeletal disorders. Improving the technique by reducing the healing time would be of clinical relevance. The aim of this study was to determine ...Journal article -
