Cell Transplantation for Myocardial Repair: Are We Ready for Prime Time?
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001-08-06) -
The Nanoscale Biointerface and Healing Biomaterials
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-10-03)Implantable medical devices, and the biomaterials that comprise them, are measured on macro scales (centimeters). Yet the biocompatibility of such devices may be dictated by phenomena best described at nanometer dimensions. ... -
Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Joint Injury and Disease
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-10-08)Frank Barry is the Director of Arthritis Research at Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., a leading stem cell therapeutic company focused on developing and marketing products to treat medical conditions in the inflammatory, orthopedic, ... -
Biomolecular Materials That Talk and Listen
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-10-10)"Smart" or "intelligent" materials are those that reversibly change their structural and functional properties in response to environmental signals such as a change in temperature. Nature has itself perfected smart polymers ... -
Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis: Redox Signaling as a Unifying Theme
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-01-30) -
Platform Technologies: Targeted delivery of Imaging Contrast Agents and Chemotherapeutic Drugs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-03-11) -
Stem cell biology and the oxygen environment
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-03-18)Traditional cell cultivation in labs is conducted in an environment of 20% O2 (basically room air), though the mean oxygen tension at the tissue level in adults is about 3%. Our work suggests that stem cell growth, death, ... -
MRI of carotid atherosclerosis
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-03-20)Atherosclerotic disease of the carotid bifurcation is a major source of thrombo-embolism and subsequent stroke. Non-invasive in vivo investigations of the relationship between atherosclerotic plaque tissue composition/morphology ... -
Bio-inspired Engineering of Biomaterials: Challenges and Opportunities
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-03-27) -
Rationale and Methods for a Bio-Engineered Recellularized Heart Valve Based on Decellularized Allograft Tissue Scaffolds
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-10-14)Human allograft transplants offer significant advantages over manufactured mechanical or xenograft tissue valves for many surgical reconstructions. Disadvantages of current generation human valve transplants include: 1.) ... -
Engineering Liver Tissue Using Micro- and Nanotechnology
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-01-12) -
Protein Surface Interactions: Role in Biocompatibility
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-01-22) -
Single molecule studies of membrane structure in live cells
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-02-19)Interactions between a cell and its environment must be transmitted through its plasma membrane. As such, the membrane must have mechanisms to control the localization and interactions of its constituent proteins. I will ... -
A Biological Engineered Approach to Enabling Adult Stem Cell-Based Biomedicine
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-09-21)Adult stem cells (ASCs) have potential application in several areas of biomedicine, including cell therapy, gene therapy, and tissue engineering. However, development of ASCs for this purpose has been precluded by difficulty ... -
Mechanisms of Embryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-10-26)Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the capacity for unlimited proliferation and differentiation into a wide range of cell types. Our long-term goals are to define the molecular mechanisms underpinning self-renewal and pluripotency ... -
