Microbial fermentations are used to produce pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and fuels. Side product formation along with considerable losses in productivities and yields are often encountered in transition from laboratory- to ...

Human cardiomyocytes (CMs) have been difficult to obtain due to invasive heart biopsies and poor long-term survival of the cells, limiting their utilization in research of cardiac diseases. Human induced pluripotent stem ...

The aim of this Master’s Thesis was to evaluate and develope ultrasound imaging methods in veterinary clinics. Ultrasound is a beneficial imaging method in many ways and it is widely used in the field of veterinary medicine. ...

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death in the world. In 2012 ~30% of all deaths were due to cardiovascular diseases. There is a need for new research, drug testing and treatment methods. Tissue ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer is widely used in dynamic biological microfluidic applications. Hydrophobic pristine PDMS does not support cell attachment and culture, especially in dynamic conditions. Regardless, ...

In this thesis, a method and system capable of intraoperative cancer margin detection, with potential to improve the current methodology, is introduced, tested and validated. The system is based on diathermy smoke analysis ...

Tässä työssä tavoitteena oli selvittää lääkeaineiden esiintyminen ja poistuminen urbaanin hydrologisen kierron aikana todellisessa pienen mittakaavan ympäristössä. Lääkeaineiden tutkimus jätevesissä ja ympäristössä on ...

Tissue-engineered scaffolds should mimic, as closely as possible, the one of the tissues to be replaced. Hence, mechanical tests are of paramount importance. However, as there are various biomaterials, with distinct ...

In the developed world, degenerative retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the leading cause of senior citizens’ vision loss. AMD is caused by the degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium ...

In their natural microenvironment, stem cells are surrounded by various mechanical and biochemical signals, and growing evidence suggests that, similarly to the biochemical cues, the biophysical properties of the ...
