Hydrolytically degradable poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel scaffolds with tunable degradation and mechanical properties
(American Chemical Society, 2010-05-10)The objective of this work was to create three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel matrices with defined mechanical properties, as well as tunable degradability for use in applications involving protein delivery and cell encapsulation. ... -
Importance of lotus effect on surface sensing
(SPIE, 2019-05-02)Superhydrophobic polymer films are a material of interest for aircraft deicing fluids to achieve the selfcleaning lotus effect. Hydrophobic polymer films were obtained by a solvent selective method composed of hydrophilic ... -
Improving the recombinant human erythropoietin glycosylationusing microsome supplementation in CHO cell-free system
(Wiley, 2018)Cell-Free Protein Synthesis (CFPS) offers many advantages for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins using the HO cell-free system. However, many complex proteins are still difficult to express using this method. ... -
Influence of cell-adhesive peptide ligands on poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel physical, mechanical and transport properties
(Elsevier B.V, 2010-04-10)Synthetic three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for cell and tissue engineering routinely utilize peptide ligands to provide sites for cell adhesion and to promote cellular activity. Given the fact that recent studies have ... -
Low Temperature Flux Growth of 2H-SiC and β-Gallium Oxide
We present brief overview of our study on the low temperature flux growth of two very important novel wide bandgap materials 2H-SiC and β-gallium oxide (β-Ga₂O₃). We have synthesized and grown 5mm to 1cm size single crystals ... -
Microbial nar-GFP cell sensors reveal oxygen limitations in highly agitated and aerated laboratory-scale fermentors
(BioMed Central, 2009-01-15)Background: Small-scale microbial fermentations are often assumed to be homogeneous, and oxygen limitation due to inadequate micromixing is often overlooked as a potential problem. To assess the relative degree of ... -
Minimally invasive technique for measuring transdermal glucose with a fluorescent biosensor
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-08-17)There is a need for blood glucose monitoring techniques that eliminate the painful and invasive nature of current methods, while maintaining the reliability and accuracy of established medical technology. This research ... -

Neuron absorption study and mid-IR optical excitations
(SPIE, 2012-02-09)Neuronal optical excitation can provide non-contacting tools to explore brain circuitry and a durable stimulation interface for cardiac pacing and visual as well as auditory sensory neuronal stimulation. To obtain accurate ... -
Neuron Mid-Infrared Absorption Study for Direct Optical Excitation of Neurons
(IEEE, 2011-10-09)Neuron optical excitations are important for brain-circuitry explorations and sensory-neuron-stimulation applications. To optimize the stimulation, we identify neuron mid-IR absorption peaks in this study and discuss their ... -
Optical characteristics of novel bulk and nanoengineered laser host materials
(SPIE, 2018-02-23)The hexagonal apatite single crystals have been investigated for their applications as laser host materials. Czochralksi and flux growth methods have been utilized to obtain single crystals. For low temperature processing ... -
Persistent Reductions in the Bioavailability of PCBs at a Tidally Inundated Phragmites australis Marsh Amended with Activated Carbon
(Wiley, June 5, 20)In situ amendment of sediments with highly sorbent materials like activated carbon (AC) is an increasingly viable strategy to reduce the bioavailability of persistent, sediment‐associated contaminants to benthic communities. ... -
Protein Image Alignment via Piecewise Affine Transformations
We present a new approach for aligning families of 2D gels. Instead of choosing one of the gels as reference and performing a pairwise alignment, we construct an ideal gel that is representative of the entire family and ... -
Protein–Hydrogel Interactions in Tissue Engineering: Mechanisms and Applications
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2012-11-13)Recent advances in our understanding of the sophistication of the cellular microenvironment and the dynamics of tissue remodeling during development, disease, and regeneration have increased our appreciation of the current ... -
Proteome Analysis to Assess Physiological Changes in Escherichia coli Grown Under Glucose-Limited Fed-Batch Conditions
(Wiley Periodicals, 2005-09-22)Proteome analysis was used to compare global protein expression changes in Escherichia coli fermentation between exponential and glucose-limited fed-batch phase. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF mass ... -
