IMPACT OF MUSCULAR FATIGUE AND ITS MODULATION USING TRANSCRANIAL PHOTOBIOMODULATION (tPBM) ON THE HUMAN BRAIN MEASURED BY FUNCTIONAL NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (fNIRS)
(2020-07-22)
When performing exercise, the brain must register and simultaneously integrate input from feedforward (i.e., central command) and feedback (e.g., exercise pressor reflex) neural mechanisms to make appropriate cardiovascular ...
Nanoparticle-Mediated Controlled Myocardial Drug Delivery: A New Treatment for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
(2020-09-04)
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease of the sarcomere, resulting in overgrowth of the septum that separates the left and right ventricles. HCM can affect as many as 1/200 people, making it the most common ...
NANOPARTICLE-BASED APPROACHES IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
(2020-08-14)
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as balloon angioplasty and stent placement are commonly employed for myocardial revascularization. These strategies, however, injure the arterial wall initiating a cascade of ...
In vivo ultrasound-switchable fluorescence imaging and its applications
(2020-08-17)
The conventional fluorescence imaging has limited spatial resolution in centimeters-deep tissue because of the tissue’s high scattering property. Ultrasound-switchable fluorescence (USF) imaging, a new imaging technique, ...
Novel Quantification of Neurovascular Coupling (NVC) to Predict Brain Injury in Neonates with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
(2020-09-04)
Birth asphyxia is a global burden in clinical neonatal care. It results from deprivation of oxygen to a newborn infant that lasts too long during the birth causing physical harm to the brain. The asphyxia insult impairs ...
Machine Learning and Deep Learning Applications in Neuroimaging
(2020-08-20)
Deep Learning (DL) tools have the potential to analyze large datasets and extract meaningful insights to enhance patient outcomes. Radiological images such as MRI and CT, often contain complex patterns that can be difficult ...
Targeting the Oligomannose Biomarker Present on Distinct Subsets of Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas
(2020-09-04)
Subtypes of B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, including follicular lymphomas, have shown a unique high oligomannose presentation on their immunoglobulins that will interact with natural receptors of the innate immunity, ...
PHOTOBIOMODULATION AND STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION: APPLICATION TO MODULATE ADIPOGENESIS THROUGH CELLULAR AND NUCLEAR MORPHOLOGY
(2020-05-28)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are of great interest in regenerative medicine due
to their capability to self-renew and differentiate to various lineages. Typically,
differentiation to specific cell types has relied on ...
Whole-head functional brain imaging of economic risk decision making and transcranial photobiomodulation with fNIRS and EEG
(2020-09-08)
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) are two non-invasive brain imaging or mapping modalities that allow us to measure cerebral hemodynamic and electrophysiological changes in the ...
Microchannel technology in cancer cell confined-migration study and its application in drug screening
(2020-08-10)
PDMS-based microchannel device has been explored to extend the basic platform for three-dimensional (3D) culture models of cell motility study because of its relevant stiffness and designable shape. Moreover, it is easy ...
