Novel Animal Model And In Vivo Imaging System To Study Inflammatory Response-mediated Cancer Metastasis
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of death in cancer patients. A vast majority of cancer-related mortality is attributed to this rather than the primary tumor itself, making the understanding of cancer metastasis ...
Advances In Helical Stent Design And Fabrication: Studies Of Stent Thermal Treatment, Stent Mechanical Properties, And Stent Interactions With A Simulated Plaque-laden Artery
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Advancements in processing biomaterials have lead to the development of bioresorbable PLLA drug-loaded stents with different geometric configurations. To further advance the technology, systematic studies have been carried ...
Molecular Modelling Of DNA Translocation In Bio-functionalized Nanopores With Applications In Gene Sequencing
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The human genome project which was completed in 2003 took more than 12 years to complete at a cost of $2.7 billion. The advancement in technologies in the next five years led to the same feat being achieved in 5 months ...
Multi-ligand Nanoparticles For Targeted Drug Delivery To The Injured Vascular Wall
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Pathological conditions like coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral artery diseases as well as cardiovascular interventions used in the treatment of coronary artery diseases such as ...
Nanoscale Approaches For Biomolecule Separation And Detection
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Nanotechnology has the potential to contact and impact the biological interactions at the most basic chemical and physical levels. New approaches to nanodevices allow high sensitivity and specificity with low sample ...
Electrical Apparoaches For Selective Detection Of Cancer Biomarker Proteins With Aptamers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Cancer is a disease that is the central focus of many a researcher's attention. As it is a disease that can spread very rapidly and can be fatal in many cases, its early detection and early treatment can dramatically change ...
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study Of Metabolic Profiles In Brain Tumors
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Metabolic profiles in brain tumors were measured using proton (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at 3T. Spectra were obtained from normal tissues and tumor mass regions of 6 low-grade gliomas, 7 anaplastic astrocytomas ...
Microfluidic Systems For Studying Cell Motility
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
It is very imperative to develop new in vitro platforms that can help in studying the complex interactions that occur between cell-Extracellular Matrix proteins and also during the process of cell migration in vivo. Such ...
Attenuation Based Quantification Of Interstitial Lung Disease Using High Resolution Computed Tomography And Correlation With Pulmonary Function Tests
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a chronic and progressive pulmonary disease of the lung parenchyma resulting in fibrotic scar formation of the pulmonary alveoli. The pathologic changes in the lung result in restrictive ...
A Study Of The Physiological Effects Of Sleep Apnea On Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
It is estimated that sleep apnea is prevalent in the US in about 18 million people. The prevalence rate is approximately 6% in the US. Sleep apnea reduces the quality of life of patients. Sleep apnea is characterized by ...
