Development Of Microscope Stage Incubator For Long-term Monitoring Of Neuronal Cell Culture During Axotomy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
It is imperative to understand the patterns in regeneration of the central and peripheral nervous system after injury. This understanding would provide a fundamental cue towards molecules and other factors involved in ...
Engineered Basal Lamina Equivalent - Fabrication And Biomedical Applications
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
A novel technique based on the principle of solvent casting is developed to create uniform, ultrathin and stackable films of Collagen I/IV and ECMgel for use as Engineered Basal Lamina Equivalent. The mixture of these two ...
Implementation of a pain generator controlled by pressure and feasability in its applications for functional near-infrared spectroscopy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Pain is a sensory and emotional experience as a result of possible or definite tissue damage. The level of pain is subjective to the individual's consciousness of sensory stimuli. Pain stimuli can be noxious (i.e., ...
In Vivo Tracking Of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Recruitment To Tissue Scaffolds
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
The term "Stem cells" has been extensively used to describe precursor undifferentiated cells that have the capacity to self-renew and can also give rise to multiple tissue types. Many studies have been shown improved ...
A Study On The Effect Of Mechanical Stretch And Aligned Scaffold Architecture On Morphology Of Rat Ventricular Cells
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Heart disease is one of the major causes of death in developing and industrialized countries. Myocardial infarction leads to remodeling of the left ventricle, which severely affects the pumping efficiency of the heart. In ...
Visible Versus Near-infrared Light Penetration Depth Analysis In An Intralipid Suspension As It Relates To Clinical Hyperspectral Images
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
We determine the penetration depth of near-infrared and visible light in a tissue phantom model using various image processing techniques and chemometrics and use these results to demonstrate the application of a multimodal ...
Biaxial Investigation Of Periosteal Mechanics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Limb lengthening procedures are used commonly to correct limb length discrepancies. Current methods in limb lengthening require a distraction of 1 mm per day using an external fixation device. Although the underlying ...
Synthesis And Characterization Of Crosslinked Urethane Doped Polyesters For Vascular Tissue Engineering
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Traditional crosslinked polyester elastomers are inherently weak, and the strategy of increasing crosslink density to improve their mechanical properties makes them brittle materials. Biodegradable polyurethanes, although ...
Analysis Of Oxygen Uptake During Blood Flow Through A Rectangular Microchannel: A Two Phase Eulerian Model With Oxygen-hemoglobin Reaction
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The evolution of oxygenator design has culminated in the current strategy of utilizing micro-porous membranes to separate blood and oxygen phases while utilizing extra-luminal blood flow orientations to promote passive and ...
DLP Hyperspectral Imaging For Surgical And Clinical Utility
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Surgeons want technology to help them see differences in tissue chemistry. If they know how oxygenated tissues and organs are during medical procedures, they are more able to eliminate dangerous tissues and maintain viable ...
