Bubble Dynamics and Acoustic Droplet Vaporization in Gas Embolotherapy.
(2014)
Gas embolotherapy is a twist on traditional catheter based embolotherapy approaches. Localized gas bubbles generated are used in place of solid emboli normally used to restrict blood flow. The gas bubbles are formed ...
Subcutaneous tissue response to titanium, poly(ϵ‐caprolactone), and carbonate‐substituted hydroxyapatite‐coated poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) plates: A rabbit study
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2013-08)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the soft tissue response to poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) implants with and without carbonate‐substituted hydroxyapatite (CHA) coating compared to the commonly used titanium alloy ...
Advanced Microspheres as Injectable Cell Carriers for Tissue Engineering.
(2015)
Biodegradable polymer microspheres have emerged as injectable cell carriers
for the regeneration and repair of irregularly-shaped tissue defects. The physical structure and chemical composition of the microsphere are ...
Antibacterial Perfluorocarbon Ventilation: A Novel Treatment Method for Bacterial Respiratory Infections.
(2015)
Bacterial respiratory infections significantly contribute to the morbidity and mortality associated with lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchiectasis. These patients ...
Polysorbate cationic synthetic vesicle for gene delivery
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-03-01)
Synthetic nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) are a colloidal system with closed bilayer structures, displaying distinct advantages in stability and cost compared with liposomes. In this article, polysorbate cationic ...
Simultaneous Multislice Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(2016)
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a valuable tool for mapping brain activity in many fields. Since functional activity is determined by temporal signal changes, undesired fluctuations from physiological motion ...
Numerical methods for polyline‐to‐point‐cloud registration with applications to patient‐specific stent reconstruction
(SIAMWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-03)
We present novel numerical methods for polyline‐to‐point‐cloud registration and their application to patient‐specific modeling of deployed coronary artery stents from image data. Patient‐specific coronary stent reconstruction ...
Controlled nucleation of hydroxyapatite on alginate scaffolds for stem cell-based bone tissue engineering
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-10)
Current bone tissue engineering strategies aim to grow a tissue similar to native bone by combining cells and biologically active molecules with a scaffold material. In this study, a macroporous scaffold made from the ...
Nano‐/microfiber scaffold for tissue engineering: Physical and biological properties
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012-11)
Alginate hydrogel (AH) has intrinsic physical and biological limitations that hinder its broader application in tissue engineering. We hypothesized that the inclusion of nanofibers in the hydrogel and the use of a biotemplate ...
Microfluidic Reduction of Osmotic Stress in Oocyte and Zygote Vitrification.
(2014)
Microfluidic cryoprotectant exchange enables vitrification of murine zygotes with superior morphology as indicated by a smoother cell surface and higher developmental competence compared to conventional methods. Bovine ...
