Combined blockade of complement C5 and TLR co-receptor CD14 synergistically inhibits pig-to-human corneal xenograft induced innate inflammatory responses
Islam, Rakibul; Islam, Mohammad Mirazul; Nilsson, Per H.; Mohlin, Camilla; Hagen, Kjersti Thorvaldsen; Paschalis, Eleftherios I.; Woods, Russell L.; Bhowmick, Sabuj Chandra; Dohlman, Claes H.; Espevik, Terje; Chodosh, James; Gonzalez-Andrades, Miguel; Mollnes, Tom Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Inadequate supplies of donor corneas have evoked an escalating interest in corneal xenotransplantation. However, innate immune responses contribute significantly to the mechanism of xenograft rejection. We hypothesized ... -
Effects of gamma radiation sterilization on the structural and biological properties of decellularized corneal xenografts
Islam, Mohammad Mirazul; Sharifi, Roholah; Mamodaly, Shamina; Islam, Rakibul; Nahra, Daniel; Abusamra, Dina B.; Hui, Pui Chuen; Adibnia, Yashar; Goulamaly, Mehdi; Paschalis, Eleftherios I.; Cruzat, Andrea; Kong, Jing; Nilsson, Per; Argüeso, Pablo; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Chodosh, James; Dohlman, Claes H.; Gonzalez-Andrades, Miguel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)To address the shortcomings associated with corneal transplants, substantial efforts have been focused on developing new modalities such as xenotransplantion. Xenogeneic corneas are anatomically and biomechanically similar ... -
Electron Beam Sterilization of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)—Physicochemical and Biological Aspects
Sharifi, Sina; Islam, Mohammad Mirazul; Sharifi, Hannah; Islam, Rakibul; Huq, Tahmida N.; Nilsson, Per; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Tran, Khoa D.; Patzer, Corrina; Dohlman, Claes H.; Patra, Hirak K.; Paschalis, Eleftherios I.; Gonzalez-Andrades, Miguel; Chodosh, James (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Electron beam (E-beam) irradiation is an attractive and efficient method for sterilizing clinically implantable medical devices made of natural and/or synthetic materials such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). As ionizing ... -
Escherichia coli-induced inflammatory responses are temperature-dependent in human whole blood ex vivo
Chaban, Viktoriia; de Boer, Eline; Ekholt, Karin; Vaage, Ingvar Jarle; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Nilsson, Per; Pischke, Soeren; Islam, Rakibul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
Platelet-depletion of whole blood reveals that platelets potentiate the release of IL-8 from leukocytes Into plasma in a thrombin-dependent manner
Quach, Huy Quang; Johnson, Christina; Ekholt, Karin; Islam, Rakibul; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Nilsson, Per (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective In a recent study, we found an elevated level of interleukin 8 (IL-8) in response to bacterial incubation in thrombin-sufficient human whole blood anticoagulated by the fibrin polymerization blocking peptide GPRP. ... -
Sputter deposition of titanium on poly(Methyl methacrylate) enhances corneal biocompatibility
Sharifi, Sina; Islam, Mohammad Mirazul; Sharifi, Hannah; Islam, Rakibul; Nilsson, Per; Dohlman, Claes H.; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Paschalis, Eleftherios I.; Chodosh, James (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: To evaluate titanium (Ti) sputtering of the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) stem of the Boston Keratoprosthesis (BK) as a method to enhance interfacial adhesion between the PMMA and the recipient corneal tissue. ... -
Systemic inflammation persists the first year after mild traumatic brain injury: Results from the Prospective Trondheim Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Study
Chaban, Viktoriia; Clarke, Gerard; Skandsen, Toril; Islam, Rakibul; Einarsen, Cathrine Elisabeth; Vik, Anne; Damås, Jan Kristian; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Håberg, Asta; Pischke, Soeren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Innate immune activation has been attributed a key role in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and successive morbidity. In mild TBI (mTBI), however, the extent and persistence of innate immune activation are unknown. We determined ... -
