A Comparative Biomechanical Investigation of Porcine Neonatal and Adult Left Ventricular Tissues
(2023-05-22)
A current trend in cardiac muscle regeneration and repair is to recreate the biophysical and biomechanical environment of the neonatal hearts, which has been shown to promote cardiac regeneration. This translational need ...
Physiological Analyses of Broadband Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Electrophysiological Measurements in vivo for Biomedical Applications
(2023-05-08)
My thesis concerns analysis of data from optical and electrophysiological measurement tools for calculate potential biomarkers in three biomedical applications: (1) the gastrointestinal immaturity of infants of different ...
TARGETED DRUG-LOADED NANOPARTICLE SYSTEM (TDNPS) TO AMELIORATE AND TREAT IDIOPATHIC LUNG FIBROSIS
(2022-12-19)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal progressive disease with a dismal prognosis and 3-5 years of survival. Up to date, there are no effective treatments, and a few current therapies that do not ameliorate the ...

Engineering Enzymatic Pathways in the Gut Microbiome to Control Dietary Isoflavone Metabolism
(2022-05-17)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 5/17/2024** ABSTRACT: Observing how plasmids persist within the gut can help us understand how newly introduced genes are transmitted within the gut microbiome. I sought ...
Development Of A Model To Simulate The Single-limb Stance Phase Of Walking To Determine The Limits Of Stability
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Falls during walking are the primary cause of injuries for older persons and present a high associated cost to society due to the resulting treatment. Hence, the control of balance while moving is an essential issue ...
Microfluidic Device For Determining Preferential Cell Migration Toward Extracellular Matrix Proteins
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins interact with cells in bodily microenvironments by influencing their essential cellular processes in growth, survival, migration and repair after injury. In this study, a novel microfluidic ...
Establishment And Characterization Of An Animal Model Of Distraction Spinal Cord Injury
(Biomedical Engineering, 05-17-2013)
Scoliosis corrective surgery requires the application of multidirectional stress forces to the spinal cord, including those of distraction, in addition to the application of fixation rods for correction of the curved spine ...
