A Model of Lung Tumor Angiogenesis in a Biomimetic Poly(ethylene glycol)-based Hydrogel System
(2016)Tumor angiogenesis is critical to tumor growth and metastasis, yet much is unknown about the role vascular cells play in the tumor microenvironment. A major outstanding challenge associated with studying tumor angiogenesis ... -
Adipose Stem Cells Improve the Foreign Body Response
(2008-03-18)Many implanted devices fail due to the formation of an avascular capsule. Fat is known to promote healing and vascularization. It is possible that isolating and attaching ASCs (adipose stem cells) to an implanted device ... -
Biomaterials-Mediated Regulation of Macrophage Cell Fate.
(Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2020-01)Endogenous regeneration aims to rebuild and reinstate tissue function through enlisting natural self-repairing processes. Promoting endogenous regeneration by reducing tissue-damaging inflammatory responses while reinforcing ... -
In Vitro and in Vivo Cytokine-Associated Immune Response to Biomaterials
(2008-04-10)The success of implanted medical devices, such as biosensors, is dependent on the immune reaction to the surface of the implanted material. This immune reaction, termed the foreign body reaction, is potentially affected ... -
Self-Assembled Protein-Based Biomaterials with Tailorable Physical Properties
(2015)Soft biomaterials are used in a variety of applications such as scaffolds for cell growth and coatings for implants or transplants. We aim to create a protein hydrogel that will self-assemble upon the mixing of two different ... -
Self-healing Poly(methyl methacrylate) Bone Cement Utilizing Embedded Microencapsulated 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesive
(2013)Extending the functional lifetime of acrylic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement may reduce the number of revision total joint replacement (TJR) surgeries performed each year. We developed a system utilizing an ...
