Influence Of Polymer Surface Chemistry On The Recruitment Of Stem Cells In Mice
Kamath, Shwetha (Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)The most troublesome biological response to the implantation of bloodcontacting biomaterials is inflammation, which thereby-sets in motion a cascade of adverse host responses. If devices for therapy and drug delivery could ... -
Mechanism Of Nanoparticle And Nanotube-induced Cell Death
Sohaebuddin, Syed Khaja (Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)Recent advances in nanotechnology have lead to synthesis of high-quality nanoparticles which exhibit unique physical and chemical properties. The novel properties of these nanoparticles are widely being applied for diagnostic ... -
Mechanisms Of Biomaterial Mediated Fibrotic Responses And Strategies To Improve Tissue Reactions To Biomaterial Implants
Thevenot, Paul Todd (Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)Despite considerable advancements in biomaterial synthesis and modification techniques, most tissue engineering scaffolds elicit fibrotic reactions resulting in implant encapsulation, secluding cells and/or therapeutic ... -
NANOPARTICLE-BASED APPROACHES IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Kuriakose, Aneetta E; 0000-0002-5282-4285 (2020-08-14)Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as balloon angioplasty and stent placement are commonly employed for myocardial revascularization. These strategies, however, injure the arterial wall initiating a cascade of ... -
NANOSTURCTURED BIOMATERIALS FOR TISSUE REGENERATION AND REPAIR
Punnakitikashem, Primana (2016-09-16)Nanostructured materials have been explored in biomedical field especially in tissue engineering over a past decade. This type of material can be processed into biomaterial scaffolds; revealed many advantages to be used ... -
Novel Animal Model And In Vivo Imaging System To Study Inflammatory Response-mediated Cancer Metastasis
Ko, Cheng-Yu (Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of death in cancer patients. A vast majority of cancer-related mortality is attributed to this rather than the primary tumor itself, making the understanding of cancer metastasis ... -
Novel Intraocular Drug Delivery System For The Prevention Of Posterior Capsule Opacification
Thomes, Brett (Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a major complication associated with the implantation of intraocular lens (IOLs). Evidence suggests that PCO formation is caused by abnormal lens epithelial cell (LEC) migration/p ... -
Novel Preparation Of Polymeric Scaffolds For Tissue Engineering Using Phase Separation With Protein Microbubble Incorporation
Nair, Ashwin (Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been extensively used as a biodegradable and porous tissue scaffold due to their biocompatibility and degradability. Several techniques have been developed for the fabrication of ... -
Optimization Of Hydrogel System For Complex Wound Healing
Aphale, Nikhil Vilas (Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)Various conventional therapies and preventive measures have been developed and used for treating complex wounds; however, patients with complex wounds still develop wound infection and consist of delayed wound healing. ... -
Optimization Of Methods For In-vitro Expansion And Cryopreservation Of Mammalian Stem Cells
Balachandran, Harikrishnan (Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)The recent advances in the field of Tissue Engineering have given rise to the need for a tremendous quantity of cells. The search for and use of an appropriate multipotent or pluripotent stem cells in tissue engineering ... -
PREPARATION OF DUAL FLUORESCENCE AGENTS-LOADED NANOPARTICLE AND ITS IN VITRO AND IN VIVO APPLICATION
Vu, Hong-Hao Thi (2018-12-07)There’re many existing imaging tools that composed of different imaging moieties to improve both resolution and sensitivity, however there’s not yet any imaging method that could be effectively utilized in both in vitro ... -
The Pivotal Role Of Fibrocytes On Foreign Body Reactions
Baker, David WilliamFibrocytes are circulating connective tissue precursor cells that were first described in 1994 by Bucala <italic>et al</italic>. as mediators of the innate immune response [1]. Recently the notion of a fibrocyte has not ...
