Joint inflammation (osteoarthritis) is a common cause of lameness in horses. There is a need for safe and effective treatments of the disease. Blood derived autologous biological products such as autologous conditioned serum (ACS) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are used as intra-articular treatments in horses as well as humans. The exact composition of these products is not known and the disease modifying mechanisms are not fully understood although they sometimes appear to yield good clinical results. One aim is to gain knowledge about the biological products with emphasise on their content of potential anti-inflammatory and regenerative factors. This project will also investigate the effects of the products in a well-established in vitro model of inflamed equine cartilage where anti-inflammatory and regenerative features can be identified. The project will increase the scientific knowledge about potential disease modifying properties of the biological products.
Ledinflammation är en vanlig orsak till hälta hos hästar. Idag finns ingen behandling som kan reparera de broskskador som uppkommer. Medicintekniska produkter såsom autologt konditionerat serum (ACS) och platelet-rich plasma (PRP) används som intra-artikulära behandlingar vid ledinflammation hos häst och människa trots att innehållet inte är känt och inte heller vilka de sjukdomsmodifierande mekanismerna är som skulle ge en kliniskt positiv effekt. I det skissade projektet vill vi analysera innehållet av potentiellt antiinflammatoriska och broskregenerativa komponenter i produkterna. Vi kommer även att använda en i forskargruppen väl karakteriserad in vitro modell för att studera preparatens effekt på inflammationsförloppet i hästbrosk. De medicintekniska produkterna används idag utan vetenskaplig evidens på effektivitet. Med detta projekt vill vi undersöka vilka potentiella komponenter som förekommer och vilken effekt de har på broskets återuppbyggnad vid inflammation.

Applying circular economy principles to agriculture is a systematic approach to reduce the environmental and climate impact of agriculture while increasing efficiency, production and profitability. The road to circular agriculture requires that we 1) minimize external inputs, 2) reduce losses and …

Potato cultivars that are resistant to late blight and at the same time having acceptable other traits, have started to emerge. However, little of this material is used in Sweden and no organized and comparative table potato trials are done. Biological products against skin-finish diseases are …

Agriculture in plain-lands is often specialized in crop production, with no on-farm use of ley as animal fodder, and crop rotations that often includes only annual crops (e.g. oilseed rape, cereals and sugar beets). At the same time, integrating ley in arable cropping systems generates several …

Achieving and maintaining a good stable climate with low ammonia levels is a major challenge for many poultry farmers. In addition to adversely affecting animal health, production and the working environment, high levels of ammonia in the stable can also lead to increased environmental impact. The …
