Fabrication of 3D Printed Hydroxyapatite Composite Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration

May 19, 2021
Author(s)
Yoontae Kim, Eun-Jin Lee, Albert Davydov, Stanislav Frakhtbeyen, Jonathan Seppala, Laurence Chow, Tagaki Shozo, Stella Alimperti
Additive biomanufacturing has been adapted in a wide variety of biomedical and tissue engineering applications, including orthopedics. The ability to print biocompatible, patient-specific geometries with controlled porosity, mechanical strength has made

The NIH Somatic Cell Genome Editing program

April 7, 2021
Author(s)
Samantha Maragh
The move from reading to writing the human genome offers new opportunities to improve human health. The United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium aims to accelerate the development of safer and more

Single-cell measurement of plasmid copy number and promoter activity

March 5, 2021
Author(s)
Bin Shao, Jayan Rammohan, Daniel Anderson, Nina Alperovich, David J. Ross, Christopher Voigt
We have developed a method to simultaneously count plasmid DNA, RNA transcripts, and protein expression in single living bacteria. From these data, the activity of a promoter in units of RNAP/s can be inferred. This work facilitates the reporting of

Organizing genome engineering for the gigabase scale

February 9, 2021
Author(s)
Bryan A. Bartley, Jacob Beal, Jonathan R. Karr, Elizabeth Strychalski
Engineering an organism's entire genome enables large-scale changes in organization, function, and environmental interactions, with significant implications for industrial, medical, and environmental ap- plications broadly. Improvements to DNA synthesis

Matching and comparing objects in a serial cytometer

October 4, 2020
Author(s)
Nikita Podobedov, Matthew DiSalvo, Jason A. Hsu, Paul Patrone, Gregory A. Cooksey
Flow cytometers are indispensable for clinical studies, yet are hindered by inherent uncertainties. We have developed an optofluidic device capable of multiple measurements along a microfluidic channel, whereby many of the uncertainty components can be

Serial microfluidic cytometry with inertial and hydrodynamic flow focusing

October 4, 2020
Author(s)
Matthew DiSalvo, Paul Patrone, Gregory A. Cooksey
Microfluidics are increasingly used to develop flow cytometers with novel functionalities. Although various approaches exist to control particle positioning within microfluidics, the magnitude and mechanisms of measurement uncertainties that arise from

Probing Pluripotency Gene Regulatory Networks with Live Cell Imaging

September 20, 2020
Author(s)
Anne Plant, Michael Halter, Jeffrey R. Stinson
Live cell imaging uniquely enables the measurement of dynamic events in single cells, but it has not been used often in the study of gene regulatory networks. Network components can be examined in relation to one another by quantitative live cell imaging

Measurement and Standardization Challenges for Exosome-Based Delivery Vectors

September 4, 2020
Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Lili Wang, Samantha D. Maragh, Paul C. DeRose, Elzafir B. Elsheikh, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Ionita Ghiran, Jennifer Jones
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), and in particular exosomes, have the potential to revolutionize the development and efficient delivery of clinical therapeutics. In this Perspective, we focus on providing a brief introduction to the landscape of exosome-based

Tissue Engineering Measurands

August 26, 2020
Author(s)
Greta Babakhanova, Carl Simon Jr., Deepika Arora
A measurand is defined as the quantity that one intends to measure. As tissue engineering research translates into medical products, companies must prepare regulatory filings that contain many different types of measurement data that are collected about
