(Biomedical Engineering, 12-10-2012)Nerve conduits have shown to successfully bridge nerve gaps of ≤ 3 cm; however repair of longer, mixed or motor nerve gaps still remains a clinical challenge. In order to study regeneration techniques in clinically relevant ... -
An optical probe for detecting chondrocyte apoptosis in response to mechanical injury
(Springer NatureDepartment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 07 Septemb)Cartilage injury induced by acute excessive contact stress is common and mostly affects young adult. Although early detection of cartilage injury may prevent serious and lifelong arthritic complications, early detection ... -
The Mechanisms and Biomedical Applications of an NIR BODIPY-Based Switchable Fluorescent Probe
(MDPIDepartment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 11 Februar)Highly environment-sensitive fluorophores have been desired for many biomedical applications. Because of the noninvasive operation, high sensitivity, and high specificity to the microenvironment change, they can be used ... -
Transcranial Laser Stimulation Improves Human Cerebral Oxygenation
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Department of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 12 January)Transcranial laser stimulation of the brain with near-infrared light is a novel form of non-invasive photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) that has shown therapeutic potential in a variety of neurological ... -
Dual-Drug Containing Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Lung Cancer Therapy
(NatureDepartment of Bioengineering, University of Texas at Arlington,, 16 October)Late-stage diagnosis of lung cancer occurs ~95% of the time due to late manifestation of its symptoms, necessitating rigorous treatment following diagnosis. Existing treatment methods are limited by lack of specificity, ... -
Islet encapsulation - Strategies to enhance islet cell functions
(Mary Ann LiebertDepartment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2007)**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Diabetes is one of the most prevalent, costly, and debilitating diseases in the world. Although traditional insulin therapy has alleviated the short-term effects, ... -
Large Array EMG Monitoring Of Lumbar Region Muscle Action In Discogenic Low Back Pain
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)This project explored the use of large array surface electromyography (LASE) as a technique for assessing the patterns of muscular activity under standardized loading conditions in patients with lumbar disc related pain ... -
Vascular Stent Analysis
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)It is important for cardiologist to understand the stresses and strains the stent experiences during deployment. We created a 3-D model of the coiled stent which is exported into ANSYS creating the finite element model. ... -
Development Of Targeting Nanoparticles Mimicking The Adhesive Properties Of Platelets
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)The development of biodegradable nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles presents an improved avenue for intracellular targeted drug delivery. Biodegradable nanoparticles have demonstrated an ability to provide controllable, ... -
