      Bartaula-Brevik, Sushma; Pedersen, Torbjørn Østvik; Finne-Wistrand, Anna; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)
      It has been suggested that the effect of implanted cells on the local environment is important when selecting the appropriate cell type for tissue regeneration. Our aim was to compare the local tissue response to implanted ...
    • Leukocyte transmigration into tissue-engineered constructs is influenced by endothelial cells through Toll-like receptor signaling 

      Bartaula-Brevik, Sushma; Pedersen, Torbjorn Østvik; Blois, Anna L; Papadakou, Panagiota; Finne-Wistrand, Anna; Xue, Ying; Bolstad, Anne Isine; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-20)
      Introduction Inflammation plays a crucial role in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and the success of tissue-engineered constructs. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of human umbilical vein endothelial ...
    • Vascularization and Host Response in Bone Tissue Engineering 

      Bartaula-Brevik, Sushma (Doctoral thesis, 2016-12-07)
      The major hurdle in the survival of a tissue-engineered construct after implantation is vascularization. Pre-vascularization is one of the proposed methods to achieve vascularization in tissue-engineered constructs. This ...
