(2015-05-21)The concerning rate of diabetes mellitus prevalence and its associated chronic complications accentuates the urgency for continuous glucose monitoring. Optical techniques, especially fluorescence-affinity assays, offer a ...
-
(2017-07-18)Over the last few decades, droplet based microfluidics has received great attention and it is growing rapidly with interdisciplinary fields, such as biomedical, physics, chemical engineering, tissue engineering and even ...
-
(2012-07-11)Currently, organ transplant procedures are insufficient to address the needs of the number of patients that suffer of organ failure related disease. In the United States alone, only around 19% of the patients are able to ...
-
An implantable continuous glucose monitor (iCGM) is necessary for diabetic patients to keep their glucose levels within a safe range. To build a more accessible iCGM with a longer lifetime and cheaper cost, we propose to ...
-
(2013-07-11)Analogous to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of natural tissues, properties of a tissue engineering scaffold direct cell behavior and thus regenerated tissue properties. These include both physical properties (e.g. morphology ...
-
(2014-12-08)Biological applications have a limitation of creating tissue like structures in order to mimic the advanced real like structures, such as human tissues in a small scale. Conventional methods of using lab mice for cancer ...

Nano-Enabled Hydrogels for Continuous Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Monitoring of Metabolites (2019-01-28)Chronic disease management can benefit from continuous real time tracking of disease relevant biochemical levels using minimally invasive implants. Current methods however rely on electrochemical sensing methods integrated ...
-
(2009-05-15)Nanoporous polymer hydrogels offer a desirable combination of mechanical, optical, and transport characteristics that have placed them at the core of a variety of biomedical technologies including engineered tissue scaffolds, ...
-
(2011-02-22)There are two primary objectives of this dissertation research. The first objective was to prepare a library of inorganic-organic hydrogels from methacrylated star polydimethylsiloxane (PDMSstar-MA) and diacrylated ...
-
(2020-11-13)A synthetic materials-guided approach, wherein the scaffold’s chemical and physical properties alone instruct cellular behavior for tissue regeneration, has the potential to repair clinically pervasive osteochondral defects ...
