Fluorescent silica particles for monitoring oxygen levels in three‐dimensional heterogeneous cellular structures
(Wiley Periodicals, 2012-04-17)Bacterial biofilms are a major obstacle challenging the development of more effective therapies to treat implant infections. Oxygen availability to bacterial cells has been implicated in biofilm formation and planktonic ... -
Hydrolytically degradable poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel scaffolds as a cell delivery vehicle: Characterization of PC12 cell response
(Wiley Periodicals, 2013-06-22)The central nervous system (CNS) has a low intrinsic potential for regeneration following injury and disease, yet neural stem/progenitor cell (NPC) transplants show promise to provide a dynamic therapeutic in this complex ... -
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 ... -
