In Situ Crosslinkable Polyesters For Tissue Engineering And Drug Delivery
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
In situ crosslinkable elastic materials are increasingly being explored for various biomedical applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering due to their site specific nature. The creation of an in situ ...
Mechanism Of Nanoparticle And Nanotube-induced Cell Death
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Recent advances in nanotechnology have lead to synthesis of high-quality nanoparticles which exhibit unique physical and chemical properties. The novel properties of these nanoparticles are widely being applied for diagnostic ...
Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy For The Assessment Of Motor Cortex Plasticity In Pediatric Subjects Affected By Cerebral Palsy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is widely used to monitor hemodynamic changes occurring in the cerebral cortex as a result of neuronal activation. One of the current challenges in this field is that ...
Synthesis And Characterisation Of Raman Nanotags For Molecular Detection
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The realization that most diseases are preceded or accompanied by changes in the genetic and cellular level of an organism has increased with the need for imaging modalities, with the sensitivity and specificity, to ...
Effects of cyclic strain and growth factors on vascular smooth muscle cell responses
(Bentham Open Access, 2009)
Under physiological and pathological conditions, vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) are exposed to different
biochemical factors and biomechanical forces. Previous studies pertaining to SMC responses have not investigated ...
