Involvement Of Mixed Lineage Leukemia And Homeobox Proteins In Dna Damage Recognition And Repair
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) molecules are informational molecules, encoding genetic information which is indispensable in the development and functioning of living organisms. DNA encodes for most proteins essential for all ...
Design, Fabrication And Evaluation Of A Novel Microfluidic Based In Vitro Cell Migration Assay
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-09-17)
Microfabrication and microfluidic devices have been recognized as potential platforms for cell-based and drug screening studies. Human glioblastoma multiforme (hGBM) cells migrate inside the central nervous system (CNS) ...
Electrospun Biodegradable Polymeric Membranes For Post-surgery Anti-adhesion Applications
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Abdominal adhesion is a prevalent, troublesome condition occurring after surgical procedures and can cause a variety of side effects such as, abdominal pain with a highly associated cost ($1.3 billion annually for) for ...
Near Infrared Quantitative Phase Imaging Of Cellular Manipulation Under Different Physio-chemical Environments
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-10)
Quantitative phase imaging using Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) is emerging as a label-free and wide-field method of characterizing cells with high spatio-temporal resolution. In parallel, silicon based micromechanical ...
Noninvasive Assessment Of Tumor Hypoxia Using Oxygen Sensitive MRI In Prostate Tumor Models
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-12)
A variety of solid tumors reveal oxygen deficiency as a result of rapid growth and insufficient tumor angiogenesis. Hypoxia in solid tumors appears to speed up malignant progression and metastatic potential of primary ...
Reliable Frontal Cortex Activity For An Oral Stroop Task Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-03-12)
Analysis tools such as HomER and NIRS-SPM for functional Near-Infrared systems are commercially or freely available; however, they are difficult for clinicians to use as an assessment tool. One barrier to their use is the ...
A GLM/ICA Analysis Using Motion Tracking And Electromyography Differentiates Between Brain Activation Due To Intended And Unintended Motions In fNIRS Images Acquired During A Finger Tapping Task Performed By Children With Cerebral Palsy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Functional neurological imaging has been shown to be valuable in evaluating brain plasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). In recent studies it has been demonstrated that functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) ...
Decreased Expression Of Microtubules In Confined Microenvironments Leads To A Reduced Effect Of Paclitaxel On Breast Cancer Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2014-12)
Despite the current medical options available to patients, cancer cells frequently remain after treatment and metastasize. This is particularly significant because secondary cancers account for 90% of cancer-related ...
