Acid-induced and pH-controlled Reversible Switching of Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity

February 13, 2018
Author(s)
Yin Y. Nelson, Vytautas Reipa, Xiaohong Wang, Kenneth Mineart, Vivek M. Prabhu, Nancy J. Lin, Jirun Sun
Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials is threatening millions of human lives due to indiscriminate overuse and environmental build-up of antibiotics. We present the smart regulation of antibacterial activity in biologically relevant conditions to reduce

Development of Orthogonal NISTmAb Size Heterogeneity Control Methods

February 10, 2018
Author(s)
Abigail Turner, Katharina S. Yandrofski, Srivalli Telikepalli, N. Alan Heckert, James J. Filliben, Dean C. Ripple, John E. Schiel
The NISTmAb is an innovative monoclonal antibody reference material from the National Institute of Standards and Technology; it is a class-representative IgG1κ intended to serve as a pre-competitive platform for harmonization and technology development in

NIST Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program Winter and Summer 2017 Comparability Studies: Results for Round Robins LXXXI and LXXXII Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human Serum

January 10, 2018
Author(s)
Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, David L. Duewer
The National Institute of Standards and Technology coordinates the Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) for laboratories that measure fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum and plasma. This report describes the design

Modeling, Validation and Verification of Three-Dimensional Cell-Scaffold Contacts from Terabyte- sized Images

December 1, 2017
Author(s)
Peter Bajcsy, Sowon Joy Yoon, Stephen Florczyk, Nathan Hotaling, Mylene H. Simon, Piotr Szczypinski, Nicholas J. Schaub, Carl G. Simon Jr., Mary C. Brady, Ram D. Sriram
Background: Cell-scaffold contact measurements are derived from pairs of co-registered volumetric fluorescent confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images (z-stacks) of stained cells and spun coat, large microfiber, and medium microfiber scaffolds. Our

Indentation mapping revealed poroelastic, but not viscoelastic,properties spanning native zonal articular cartilage

November 8, 2017
Author(s)
Joseph Wahlquist, Frank W. DelRio, Mark Randolph, Aaron Aziz, Chelsea Heveran, Stephanie Bryant, Corey P. Neu, Virginia L. Ferguson
Osteoarthrosis is a debilitating disease affecting millions, yet engineering materials for cartilage regeneration has proven difficult because of the complex microstructure of this tissue. Articular cartilage, like many biological tissues, produces a time

Buckling Instabilities in Polymer Brush Surfaces via Postpolymerization Modification

October 30, 2017
Author(s)
Wei Guo, Cassandra M. Reese, Li Xiong, Phillip K. Logan, Brittany J. Thompson, Christopher Stafford, Anton Ievlev, Bradley S. Lokitz, Olga S. Ovchinnikova, Derek L. Patton
We report a simple route to engineer ultrathin polymer brush surfaces with wrinkled and creased morphologies using postpolymerization modification (PPM), where the length scale of the buckled features can be tuned using PPM reaction time and sequence. We

Hydrogels with Reversible Mechanics to Probe Dynamic Cell Microenvironments

October 4, 2017
Author(s)
Adrianne Rosales, Sebastain Vega, Frank W. DelRio, Jason Burdick, Kristi S. Anseth
The relationship between ECM mechanics and cell behavior is dynamic, as cells remodel and respond to changes in their local environment. Most in vitro substrates are static and supraphysiologically stiff; thus, platforms with dynamic and reversible

Formation of a crack-free, hybrid skin layer with tunable surface topography and improved gas permeation selectivity on elastomers using gel-liquid infiltration polymerization

September 11, 2017
Author(s)
Justin Gorham, Jason Killgore, Maryam Omidvar, Haiqing Lin, Frank W. DelRio, Lewis M. Cox, Zheng Zhang
Liquid-liquid interfacial polymerization (ll-IP) is conventionally used for manufacturing bulk polymers like nylon, as well as forming barrier layers for reverse osmosis membranes. In this work, we explore the use of gel-liquid infiltration polymerization
