Quantitative Bright-Field Microscopy Combined with Deep Neural Networks Predict Live Tissue Function

February 29, 2020
Author(s)
Carl Simon, Nicholas J. Schaub, Petru S. Manescu, Sarala Padi, Mylene Simon, Peter Bajcsy, Nathan A. Hotaling, Joe Chalfoun, Mohamed Ouladi, Qin Wan, Kapil Bharti, Ruchi Sharma
Progressive increases in the number of cell therapies in the preclinical and clinical phases has prompted the need for reliable and non-invasive assays to validate transplant function in clinical biomanufacturing. Here, we developed a robust

The Reproducibility of a Proposed Standard Fatigue Test for Cardiac Device Leads

August 1, 2019
Author(s)
Timothy P. Quinn, Jolene D. Splett, Joseph D. McColskey, James Dawson, David Smith, Adam Himes, Daniel Cooke
The Transvenous Cardiac Leads Working Group of the Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices Committee of The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI CRMD WG1) is developing a fatigue performance standard for cardiac device leads. The

A Novel Dental Sealant Containing Dimethylaminohexadecyl Methacrylate Suppresses the Cariogenic Pathogenicity of Streptococcus mutans Biofilms

July 16, 2019
Author(s)
Nancy Lin, Maria S. Ibrahim, Ahmed Ibrahim, Abdulrahman Balhaddad, Michael D. Weir, Franklin Tay, Thomas Oates, Hockin H. Xu, Mary A. Melo
Cariogenic oral biofilms are strongly linked to dental caries around dental sealants. Quaternary ammonium monomers copolymerized with dental resin systems have been increasingly explored for modulation of biofilm growth. Here, we investigated the effect of

Analysis of Different Computational Techniques for Calculating the Polarizability Tensors of Stem Cells with Realistic Three-Dimensional Morphologies

June 21, 2019
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Jack Douglas, Beatriz Pazmino, Ahmed M. Hassan, Somen Baidya
Recent advances in synthetic biomaterial microenvironment design has enabled researchers to mimic the natural in vivo environment of the cell and, therefore, quantify the effect of the environment on the morphologies of stem cells. Recently, the National

EcoFAB: Advancing microbiome science through standardized fabricated ecosystems

June 21, 2019
Author(s)
Karsten Zengler, Kirsten Hofmockel, Scott Behie, Hans Bernstein, James Brown, Jos? Dinneny, Sheri Floge, Samuel Forry, Matthias Hess, Scott Jackson, Stephen Lindemann, Jennifer Pett-Ridge, Elizabeth Shank, Ophelia Venturelli, Matthew Wallenstein, Nitin Baliga, Christer Jansson, Trent Northen
Microbiome science is arguably the fastest-advancing research field in biology today. However, current efforts are largely focused on disparate and often irreproducible experimental systems. Here we present the results of a one-and-a-half-day workshop that

Structural Insights into DNA-Stabilized Silver Clusters

May 10, 2019
Author(s)
Danielle Schultz, Robert Brinson, Fahriye N. Sari, Jeffrey Fagan, Christina Bergonzo, Nancy Lin, Joy Dunkers
The structure and dynamics of Ag complexes derived from single stranded DNA (ssDNA) is less understood than their double stranded (dsDNA) counterparts despite their great promise as fluorescent biological probes and sensors. In this work, we seek new

Targeting hMSC Response via Surface Carbonyl Groups, Contact Angle, and Protein Interactions

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Max J. Lerman, Shinichiro N. Muramoto, Navein Arumugasaamy, Michael Van Order, Josephine Lembong, Anushka Gerald, John Gillen, John P. Fisher
Traditional 2D culture systems made of polystyrene (PS) require the addition of surface chemistry beyond the nominal phenyl groups present to facilitate and encourage cell adhesion. Determining the surface properties which enhance protein adhesion from

Mechanosensitive ion permeation across sub-nanoporous MoS2 monolayers

January 23, 2019
Author(s)
Alta Y. Fang, Kenneth Kroenlein, Alexander Smolyanitsky
We use all-atom molecular dynamics simulations informed by density functional theory calculations to investigate aqueous ion transport across subnanoporous monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membranes subject to varying tensile strains. Driven by a

Combinatorial Cassettes for Higher-Throughput Screening of Osteogenesis

October 4, 2018
Author(s)
Carl G. Simon Jr., Subhadip Bodhak, Hariharan K. Iyer, Luis Fernandez de Castro Diaz, Pam Robey, Azusa Maeda, Sergei Kuznetsov
Animal models are the most biologically relevant method for measuring the osteogenic capability of bone graft formulations. However, animal experiments are slow, tedious and the results can be highly variable, even when conducted within the same lab. In

Nanoscale Hygromechanical Behavior of Lignin

September 22, 2018
Author(s)
Kristen M. Hess, Jason Killgore, Wil Srubar
The nanoscale hygromechanical behavior of lignin is presented in this work. Three atomic force microscopy experimental methods were used to correlate moisture sorption of lignin to its mechanicalbehavior. First, sorption isotherms were established using

Hierarchical Cellulose Nanocrystal Blends for Bioinspired Damage Tolerant Photonic Films

May 4, 2018
Author(s)
Bharath NMN Natarajan, Ajay Krishnamurthy, Caglar Dogu Emiroglu, Amanda L. Forster, E. J. Foster, Christoph Weder, Douglas M. Fox, Jan Obrzut, Jeffrey W. Gilman
Attempts to emulate strong and tough natural composites using wood cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) fall short in mechanical performance due to the low shear transfer ability of CNC interfaces in their helicoidal ensembles. This shortcoming is ascribed to the
