  • Yazdani, Mazyar; Shahdafar, Aboulghassem; Jackson, Catherine; Utheim, Tor Paaske (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Hyaluronan (HA), a major component of the extracellular matrix, plays a key role in cell proliferation, growth, survival, polarization and differentiation. We investigated the optimization of a HA hydrogel scaffold for ...
  • Utheim, Tor Paaske; Utheim, Øygunn Aass; Salvanos, Panagiotis; Jackson, Catherine; Schrader, Stefan; Geerling, Gerd; Sehic, Amer (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) can result from a variety of corneal disorders, including chemical and thermal burns, infections, and autoimmune diseases. The symptoms of LSCD may include irritation, epiphora, blepharospasms, ...
  • Lång, Emma Helena; Polec, Anna; Lång, Anna Ulrika; Valk, Marijke; Blicher, Pernille; Rowe, Alexander D.; Tønseth, Kim Alexander; Jackson, Catherine; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Janssen, Liesbeth M.C.; Eriksson, Jens Christian; Bøe, Stig Ove (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    Epithelial sheet spreading is a fundamental cellular process that must be coordinated with cell division and differentiation to restore tissue integrity. Here we use consecutive serum deprivation and re-stimulation to ...
  • Jackson, Catherine; Tønseth, Kim Alexander; Utheim, Tor Paaske (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    Transplantation of cultured epidermal cell sheets (CES) has long been used to treat patients with burns, chronic wounds, and stable vitiligo. In patients with large area burns this can be a life-saving procedure. The ...
  • Jackson, Catherine; Aabel, Peder; Eidet, Jon Roger; Messelt, Edvard Berger; Lyberg, Torstein; Von Unge, Magnus; Utheim, Tor Paaske (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2014)
    Cultured epidermal cell sheets (CECS) are used in regenerative medicine in patients with burns, and have potential to treat limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), as demonstrated in animal models. Despite widespread use, ...
  • Islam, Rakibul; Jackson, Catherine; Eidet, Jon Roger; Messelt, Edward B.; Corraya, Rima Maria; Lyberg, Torstein; Griffith, May; Dartt, Darlene A.; Utheim, Tor Paaske (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)
    Purpose/Aims To assess the effect of storage temperature on the viability, phenotype, metabolism, and morphology of cultured human oral keratinocytes (HOK). Materials and Methods Cultured HOK cells were stored in HEPES- ...
  • Reppe, Sjur; Jackson, Catherine; Ringstad, Håkon; Tønseth, Kim Alexander; Bakke, Hege Gilbø; Eidet, Jon Roger; Utheim, Tor Paaske (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    There is a need to optimize storage conditions to preserve cell characteristics during transport of cultured cell sheets from specialized culture units to distant hospitals. In this study, we aimed to explore a method to ...
  • Yazdani, Mazyar; Shahdafar, Aboulghassem; Jackson, Catherine; Utheim, Tor Paaske (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    Hyaluronan (HA), also termed hyaluronic acid or hyaluronate, is a major component of the extracellular matrix. This non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan plays a key role in cell proliferation, growth, survival, polarization, and ...
  • Pasovic, Lara; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Reppe, Sjur; Khan, Ayyad Ahmad Zartasht; Jackson, Catherine; Thiede, Bernd; Berg, Jens Petter; Messelt, Edvard Berger; Eidet, Jon Roger (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    Storage of human retinal pigment epithelium (hRPE) can contribute to the advancement of cell-based RPE replacement therapies. The present study aimed to improve the quality of stored hRPE cultures by identifying storage ...
  • Khan, Ayyad Ahmad Zartasht; Jackson, Catherine; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Reppe, Sjur; Sapkota, Dipak; Olstad, Ole Kristoffer; Thiede, Bernd; Eidet, Jon Roger (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    We previously demonstrated that the silk protein sericin promotes pigmentation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) by activating the NF-κB pathway. Among numerous agents, NF-κB can be activated by hydrogen peroxide. In the ...
  • Jackson, Catherine; Ernø, Inger Thea Myklebust; Ringstad, Håkon; Tønseth, Kim Alexander; Dartt, Darlene Ann; Utheim, Tor Paaske (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    Damage to limbal stem cells as a result of injury or disease can lead to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). This disease is characterized by decreased vision that is often painful and may progress to blindness. Clinical ...
