    • Alginate and tunicate nanocellulose composite microbeads – Preparation, characterization and cell encapsulation 

      Kjesbu, Joachim Sebastian; Zaitseva-Zotova, Daria; Sämfors, Sanna; Gatenholm, Paul; Troedsson, Christofer; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Strand, Berit Løkensgard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Alginate has been used for decades for cell encapsulation. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) from tunicates are desirable in biomedicine due to high molecular weight, purity, crystallinity, and sustainable production. We prepared ...

    • Encapsulation boosts islet-cell signature in differentiating human induced pluripotent stem cells via integrin signalling 

      Legøy, Thomas Aga; Vethe, Heidrun; Abadpour, Shadab; Strand, Berit Løkensgard; Scholz, Hanne; Paulo, Joao A.; Ræder, Helge; Ghila, Luiza; Chera, Simona (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Cell replacement therapies hold great therapeutic potential. Nevertheless, our knowledge of the mechanisms governing the developmental processes is limited, impeding the quality of differentiation protocols. Generating ...

    • Injectable In Situ Crosslinking Hydrogel for Autologous Fat Grafting 

      Oskarsdotter, Kristin; Nordgård, Catherine Taylor; Apelgren, Peter; Säljö, Karin; Solbu, Anita Akbarzadeh; Eliasson, Edwin; Sämfors, Sanna; Sætrang, Henriette Elisabeth Myhr; Asdahl, Lise Cathrine; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Troedsson, Christofer; Simonsson, Stina; Strand, Berit Løkensgard; Gatenholm, Paul; Kölby, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Autologous fat grafting is hampered by unpredictable outcomes due to high tissue resorption. Hydrogels based on enzymatically pretreated tunicate nanocellulose (ETC) and alginate (ALG) are biocompatible, safe, and present ...
