(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)Cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures occurring in United States to cure gall bladder diseases. There are two means of performing this procedure, Open Cholecystectomy and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, the ... -
Synthesis And Characterisation Of Raman Nanotags For Molecular Detection
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)The realization that most diseases are preceded or accompanied by changes in the genetic and cellular level of an organism has increased with the need for imaging modalities, with the sensitivity and specificity, to ... -
Synthesis And Characterization Of Crosslinked Urethane Doped Polyesters For Vascular Tissue Engineering
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)Traditional crosslinked polyester elastomers are inherently weak, and the strategy of increasing crosslink density to improve their mechanical properties makes them brittle materials. Biodegradable polyurethanes, although ... -
T-CELL MEMBRANE CAMOUFLAGED NANOPARTICLES FOR TREATMENT OF MELANOMA
(2017-05-30)Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers. The American Cancer Society reports that every hour, one person dies from melanoma. While there are a number of treatments currently available for melanoma (e.g. surgery, ... -
Targeted Delivery Of Carbon Nanotubes To Cancer Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)CD22 is broadly expressed on human B cell lymphomas. Monoclonal anti-CD22 antibodies (MAbs) alone, or coupled to toxins, have been used to selectively target these tumors both in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice ... -
Targeted Drug Delivery To Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells Using Biodegradable Nanoparticles
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)Restenosis is a common problem that can occur in angioplasty patients. In order to reduce the restentosis rate, various treatments such as glucocorticoids and drug eluting stents have been used for angioplasty patients. ... -
TARGETED DRUG-LOADED NANOPARTICLE SYSTEM (TDNPS) TO AMELIORATE AND TREAT IDIOPATHIC LUNG FIBROSIS
(2022-12-19)Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal progressive disease with a dismal prognosis and 3-5 years of survival. Up to date, there are no effective treatments, and a few current therapies that do not ameliorate the ... -
