Biological Responses to Aliphatic Polyester Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-12-03)Currently, various strategies are used to stimulate healing of bone defects and restore lost alveolar bone and periodontal support. The concept of tissue engineering has emerged as a valid approach to the current therapies ... -
Endothelial cells influence the osteogenic potential of bone marrow stromal cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-11-17)Background: Improved understanding of the interactions between bone cells and endothelial cells involved in osteogenesis should aid the development of new strategies for bone tissue engineering. The aim of the present study ... -
A five-year prospective study of fatigue in primary Sjögren’s syndrome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-13)Introduction: Fatigue is prevalent in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), and contributes to the considerably reduced health related quality of life in this disease. The symptom is included in proposed disease activity and ... -
