DEVELOPMENT OF CANCER TRAP FOR CAPTURING CANCER CELLS THAT METASTASIZE IN THE PERITONEAL CAVITY: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
Okpokwasili, Chuka I; 0000-0001-7332-1743 (2017-05-25)Our laboratory has recently developed an implantable device - cancer trap that can recruit and trap circulating cancer cells inside the bloodstream. Since several types of cancer cells can metastasize inside the peritoneal ... -
Development Of Orchestrated Stem Cell-based Regeneration (OSCeR) -strategies To Recruit And Differentiate Autologous Stem Cells For Tissue Regeneration
Nair, Ashwin (Biomedical Engineering, 2011-03-03)Stem cell therapy has shown great promise in curing diseases. However, clinical application of stem cell therapy is often hindered by the lack of reliable sources and convenient methods to recover stem cells. Our laboratory ... -

Nair, Ashwin; Zou, Ling; Weng, Hong; Tsai, Yi-Ting; Hu, Zhibing; Tang, Liping (Plos OneDeparment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, December 2) -
Method to Analyze Three-Dimensional Cell Distribution and Infiltration in Degradable Scaffolds
Thevenot, Paul Todd; Nair, Ashwin; Dey, Jagannath; Yang, Jian; Tang, Liping (Mary Ann Liebert inc.Department of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2008)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Effective cell seeding throughout the tissue scaffold often determines the success of tissue-engineering products, although most current methods focus on determining ... -
Novel Polymeric Scaffolds Using Protein Microbubbles as Porogen and Growth Factor Carriers
Nair, Ashwin; Thevenot, Paul Todd; Dey, Jagannath; Shen, Jinhui; Sun, Man-Wu; Yang, Jian; Tang, Liping (Mary Ann Liebert Inc.Department of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2010)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Polymeric tissue engineering scaffolds prepared by conventional techniques like salt leaching and phase separation are greatly limited by their poor biomolecule-delivery ... -
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 ... -
Real-time detection of implant-associated neutrophil responses using a formyl peptide receptor-targeting NIR nanoprobe
Zhou, Jun; Yi-Ting, Tsai; Weng, Hong; Tang, Ewin N.; Nair, Ashwin; Digant, Dave P.; Tang, Liping (Dove pressDepartment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-04-19)Neutrophils play an important role in implant-mediated inflammation and infection. Unfortunately, current methods which monitor neutrophil activity, including enzyme measurements and histological evaluation, require many ... -
