Non-uniform Interstitial Loading in Cardiac Microstructure During Impulse Propagation
(2009)
Impulse propagation in cardiac muscle is determined not only by the excitable properties
of the myocyte membrane, but also by the gross and fine structure of cardiac muscle.
Ionic diffusion pathways are defined by the muscle's ...
Umbilical Cord Blood Derived Endothelial Progenitor Cells: Isolation, Characterization, and Adhesion Potential in Vitro and in Vivo
(2009)
The number one cause of death in the industrialized world, atherosclerosis, can be
treated through a variety of methods: angioplasty, stenting, vein graft bypass, synthetic
grafts, and maybe one day tissue engineering vessels ...
Phase Aberration Correction for Real-Time 3D Transcranial Ultrasound Imaging
(2009)
Phase correction has the potential to increase the image quality of real-time 3D (RT3D)
ultrasound, especially for transcranial ultrasound. Such improvement would increase
the diagnostic utility of transcranial ultrasound, ...
Development of a Fourier Domain Low Coherence Interferometry Optical System for Applications in Early Cancer Detection
(2009)
Cancer is a disease that affects millions of people each year. While methods for
the prevention and treatment of the disease continue to advance, the early detection
of precancerous development remains a key factor in reducing ...
Design and Evaluation of a Transcutaneous Energy Transfer System
(2009)
A clinically viable brain-machine interface (BMI) requires a fully-implanted wireless
neural acquisition system to limit the impediments of percutaneous connections. For
an implanted system with an appreciable telemetry ...
The Role of Collagen VI in the Structure and Properties of the Knee Joint
(2009)
Knee pain is a common complaint among older Americans, nearly half of whom have developed
or will develop painful osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is primarily a disease of
articular cartilage, the low-friction, shock-absorbing ...
Affinity-Modulation Drug Delivery Using Thermosensitive Elastin-Like Polypeptide Block Copolymers
(2010)
Antivascular targeting is a promising strategy for tumor therapy. This strategy overcomes
many of the transport barriers and has shown efficacy in many preclinical models,
but targeting epitopes on tumor vasculature can ...
Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography System Development for in Vivo Ophthalmic Imaging
(2009)
Spectral‐domain optical‐coherence tomography (SDOCT) has recently
emerged as a powerful new tool for noninvasive human retinal imaging. I
have developed a low‐cost, high resolution ...
Functional Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging
(2009)
Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SDOCT) is a high-speed, high resolution
imaging modality capable of structural and functional resolution of tissue microstructure.
SDOCT fills a niche between histology and ultrasound ...
The Effects of Extracellular Matrix Mechanics and Composition on the Behaviors of Nucleus Pulposus Cells from the Intervertebral Disc
(2009)
Intervertebral disc (IVD) disorders are a major contributor to disability and health
costs. Disc disorders and resulting pain may be preceded by changes which first occur
in the nucleus pulposus (NP) region of the IVD, ...
