      Landolt, Lea Zoe; Furriol, Jessica; Babickova, Janka; Ahmed, Lavina; Eikrem, Øystein Solberg; Skogstrand, Trude; Scherer, Andreas; Suliman, Salwa; Leh, Sabine Maria; Lorens, James; Gausdal, Gro; Marti, Hans-Peter; Osman, Tarig Al-Hadi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) is involved in partial epithelial-tomesenchymal transition (EMT) and inflammation – both main promoters of renal fibrosis development. The study aim was to investigate the role of AXL ...
    • Embryonic Stem Cells Can Generate Oral Epithelia under Matrix Instruction 

      Das, Ridhima; Harper, Lisa; Kitajima, Kayoko; Osman, Tarig Al-Hadi; Cimpan, Mihaela-Roxana; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Suliman, Salwa; Mackenzie, Ian C.; Costea, Daniela Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      We aimed to investigate whether molecular clues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) can induce oral epithelial differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) of the feeder-independent cell line ...
    • Establishment of a bioluminescence model for microenvironmentally induced oral carcinogenesis with implications for screening bioengineered scaffolds.

      Background: Microenvironmental cues play a major role in head and neck cancer. Biodegradable scaffolds used for bone regeneration might also act as stimulative cues for head and neck cancer. The purpose of this study was ...
    • Nanodiamond modified copolymer scaffolds affects tumour progression of early neoplastic oral keratinocytes 

      Suliman, Salwa; Mustafa, Kamal Babikeir Eln; Krueger, Anke; Steinmüller-Nethl, Doris; Finne-Wistrand, Anna; Osdal, Tereza; Osman, Amani Hamza Ali; Sun, Yang; Parajuli, Himalaya; Waag, Thilo; Nickel, Joachim; Johannessen, Anne Christine; McCormack, Emmet; Costea, Daniela Elena (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)
      This study aimed to evaluate the tumorigenic potential of functionalising poly(LLA-co-CL) scaffolds. The copolymer scaffolds were functionalised with nanodiamonds (nDP) or with nDP and physisorbed BMP-2 (nDP-PHY) to enhance ...
