Micro-device For Selective Isolation And Cytology Of Cancer Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Early detection and isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can enable early cancer diagnosis and more effective therapeutics. Aptamers have emerged as probe molecules that have binding affinities comparable to antibodies ...
Self-assmbled Lithography-free Fabrication Of Microchannels And Microfluidics In Polymers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Rapid, reliable and easy to implement approaches are needed for fabrication of circular microchannels in polymeric microfluidics. PDMS has been a choice of material in microfluidics and it is being used as prototype due ...
5 cm Gap Injury Repair: Growth Factor Support And Functional Analysis In A Rabbit Common Peroneal Nerve Model
(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 ...
Auto-fluorescence lifetime and light reflectance spectroscopy for breast cancer diagnosis: potential tools for intraoperative margin detection
(OSA Publishing, 2012-08-01)
This study investigates the use of two spectroscopic techniques,
auto-fluorescence lifetime measurement (AFLM) and light reflectance
spectroscopy (LRS), for detecting invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) in
human ex vivo ...
Sparsity enhanced spatial resolution and depth localization in diffuse optical tomography
(OSA Publishing, 2012-05-01)
Biophysical assessment of single cell toxicity: diesel exhaust particle-treated human aortic endothelial cells
(PLOS (Public Library of Science), 2012)
Exposure to diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), a major source of traffic-related air pollution, has become a serious health
concern due to its adverse influences on human health including cardiovascular and respiratory ...
High-resolution imaging in a deep turbid medium based on an ultrasound-switchable fluorescence technique
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2012)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The spatial resolution of fluorescence imaging techniques in deep optically turbid media such as
tissues is limited by photon diffusion. To break the diffusion ...
Cytotoxicity evaluation of methacrylate-based resins for clinical endodontics in vitro
(Nihon University School of Dentistry, 2012)
This study examines the cytotoxicity of
Super-Bond C&B (SB-C&B), Super-Bond RC Sealer
(SB-RC), MetaSEAL (Meta), and AH Plus Sealer
(AH+). Freshly mixed and set materials (100 mg) were
prepared in vitro and placed in ...
Improving optical contact for functional near-infrared brain spectroscopy and imaging with brush optodes
(OSA Publisher, 2012-05-01)
A novel brush optode was designed and demonstrated to
overcome poor optical contact with the scalp that can occur during
functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and imaging due to light
obstruction by hair. The ...
Multifunctionality of indocyanine green-loaded biodegradable nanoparticles for enhanced optical imaging and hyperthermia intervention of cancer
(SPIE, 2012)
The aim of this study was to develop and characterize multifunctional biodegradable and biocompatible
poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) as an optical-imaging contrast
agent ...
