Lentiviral vectors (LV) have emerged as a robust technology for therapeutic gene delivery into human cells as advanced medicinal products. As these products are increasingly commercialized, there are concomitant demands for their characterization to ensure

Recent Industrial Roadmaps to Enable Smart Manufacturing of Biopharmaceuticals

January 29, 2021
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, Vijay Srinivasan
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing is an evolving industry with great potential to improve public health, but laden with technical and operational challenges. It has many features that are similar to other smart manufacturing industries, but it also has some

Methods for Characterization of Bioactivity Using Confocal Microscopy

December 1, 2020
Author(s)
Jirun Sun, Nancy Lin, Joy Dunkers, Sheng Lin-Gibson
One common tissue engineering approach for regenerating or replacing damaged tissues involves a porous polymeric scaffold. The scaffolds serve as the mechanical framework for cell attachment and growth, and generate an environment with features that span

Workshop 13: Building Measurement Assurance in Flow Cytometry

June 17, 2019
Author(s)
Lili Wang, Stephen Perfetto, Robert Hoffman, John T. Elliott, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Steven Bauer, Heba Degheidy, Judith Arcidiacono, Litwin Virginia
Two workshops were held to identify measurement challenges and potential solutions for building measurement assurance for flow cytometry. This report summarizes key findings, including the need for high quality reagents, reference standards or materials

Experimental and statistical methods to evaluate antibacterial activity of a quaternary pyridinium salt on planktonic, biofilm-forming, and biofilm states

March 3, 2017
Author(s)
Daneli Lopez-Perez, Paula J. Baker, Adam L. Pintar, Jirun Sun, Nancy Lin, Sheng Lin-Gibson
Robust evaluation and comparison of antimicrobial technologies are critical to improving biofilm prevention and treatment. Herein, a multi-pronged experimental framework and statistical models were applied to determine the effects of quaternary pyridinium

Relationship Between Quantitative Dispersion and Physical Properties of PMMA/SWNT Nanocomposites

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Takashi Kashiwagi, Jeffrey Fagan, Keith Yamamoto, A N. Heckert, Stefan D. Leigh, Jan Obrzut, F Du, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Minfang Mu, K Winey, R Haggenmueller, Jack F. Douglas
Six PMMA/SWNT(0.5 wt%) nanocomposite samples intended to have different dispersion levels were prepared by the coagulation method using six different concentrations of SWNTs in DMF from 0.05 mg/ml to 1.2 mg/ml. The morphology of the samples was determined

Strategies for Achieving Measurement Assurance for Cell Therapy Products

June 1, 2016
Author(s)
Carl G. Simon Jr., Anne L. Plant, Sumona Sarkar, John T. Elliott, Sheng Lin-Gibson
Cell therapy products (CTPs) need quantitative, validated, and robust assays to support informed decision making during their development, manufacturing, and regulation. These products, the materials involved in their production and the methods for

Combinatorial Cassette for Screening of Osteogenesis by Transplanted Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells

April 19, 2014
Author(s)
Subhadip Bodhak, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Carl G. Simon Jr., Luis Fernandez de Castro Diaz, Pamela G. Robey, Sergei A. Kuznetsov, Tina Kilts, Marian F. Young
The use of in vivo transplantation assays under defined experimental conditions has become a valuable standard for evaluating osteogenic potential of different stem cell populations and is the subject of ongoing pre-clinical reconstructive therapy research

Effects of nanoparticle size and charge on interactions with self-assembled collagen

March 1, 2014
Author(s)
Dongbo Wang, Jing (. Ye, Steven Hudson, Keana Scott, Sheng Lin-Gibson
Recent insights into bone formation have suggested that the critical first step to the biomineralization process is the integration of small (nanometer dimension) mineral clusters into collagen fibers. Such behavior is of intrinsic interest for the areas
