(2017-12-18)The advances in bone tissue engineering search for a biomaterial that could efficiently and gradually replace the bone while the new tissue grows through the implanted structure. However, due to limitations mainly related ... -
Pleiotrophin Enhance Nerve Regeneration Across Long Gap Peripheral Nerve Defects
Peripheral nerve injuries resulting in extensive loss in nerve continuity pose a challenge in reconstructive surgery. Autografts still remain the treatment of choice for nerve defects despite the need of donor nerve harvest ... -
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) Nanoparticle Delivery of Notch Intracellular Domain Plasmid to Restore Notch Signaling
(2021-08-23)Notch signaling is a highly conserved signaling system that is required for embryonic development and regeneration of organs. When the signal is lost, maldevelopment occurs and leads to a lethal state. Delivering exogenous ... -
Polymeric Nano/ Microparticles For Management Of Pulmonary Diseases
Drug delivery via pulmonary route has emerged as an attractive area of study in the past two decades. This method of administration has multiple advantages for both systemic and local drug delivery due to the availability ... -
PORCINE NEONATAL HEART EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX AS A REGENERATION PLATFORM
(2021-08-16)Each year, an estimated 620,000 Americans have new heart attack and suffer from myocardial infarction (MI) that results in massive heart cell death and decrease in heart function. Various therapeutic strategies, such as ... -

(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-03-03)Surgical and clinical settings in medical hospitals strive to keep up with technological innovations in order to improve the current healthcare scenario. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a novel technology that addresses ... -
Prefrontal responses to digit span memory phases in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): A functional near infrared spectroscopy study
(Elsevier Inc.Department of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2014)Neuroimaging studies of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-related memory impairments have consistently implicated abnormal activities in the frontal and parietal lobes. However, most studies have used block designs ... -
PREPARATION OF DUAL FLUORESCENCE AGENTS-LOADED NANOPARTICLE AND ITS IN VITRO AND IN VIVO APPLICATION
(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 ... -
Prostate cancer detection using combined autofluorescence and light reflectance spectroscopy: ex vivo study of human prostates
(OSA PublishingDepartment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2014-05-01)This study was conducted to evaluate the capability of detecting prostate cancer (PCa) using auto-fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy (AFLS) and light reflectance spectroscopy (LRS). AFLS used excitation at 447 nm with ... -
Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX)-conjugated Self-lighting Nanoparticles For Photodynamic Therapy: Synthesis And Characterization
In Photodynamic therapy (PDT) PDT, cancer destruction relies on applying a photosensitizing drug (PS) followed by light. Absorbed light can activate the PS to transfer energy to existing molecules and substrates or to ... -
