A hybrid PDMS/paper passive pump for slow-release/delivery of drugs in chronic dermal wounds (2014)
Conference Proceeding

© 14CBMS. In this paper, we present a hybrid PDMS/paper-based passive pump for slow drug delivery in chronic wounds. The pump consists of a PDMS microfluidic network that is irreversibly bonded to the polyethylene-coated (hydrophobic) side of a comme...

Surgical materials: Current challenges and nano-enabled solutions (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Surgical adhesive biomaterials have emerged as substitutes to sutures and staples in many clinical applications. Nano-enabled materials containing nanoparticles or having a distinct nanotopography have been u... Read More about Surgical materials: Current challenges and nano-enabled solutions.

Utilizing nanosensor-incorporated scaffolds in the development of a 3D lung model (2014)
Book Chapter

Human airway smooth muscle maintain in situ cell orientation and phenotype when cultured on aligned electrospun scaffolds (2014)
Journal Article

Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) contraction plays a central role in regulating airway resistance in both healthy and asthmatic bronchioles. In vitro studies that investigate the intricate mechanisms that regulate this contractile process are predom...

A novel electrospun biphasic scaffold provides optimal three-dimensional topography forin vitroco-culture of airway epithelial and fibroblast cells (2014)
Journal Article

Conventional airway in vitro models focus upon the function of individual structural cells cultured in a two-dimensional monolayer, with limited three-dimensional (3D) models of the bronchial mucosa. Electrospinning offers an attractive method to pro...

A janus-paper PDMS platform for lab-on-a-chip applications (2014)
Conference Proceeding

© 2014TRF. A commercially available Janus paper with one hydrophobic (polyethylene-coated) face and a hygroscopic/hydrophilic one is irreversibly bonded to a PDMS substrate incorporating microfluidic channels via corona discharge surface treatment. T... Read More about A janus-paper PDMS platform for lab-on-a-chip applications.

Handbook Of Biomimetics And Bioinspiration: Biologically-driven Engineering Of Materials, Processes, Devices, And Systems (2014)
Book

Global warming, pollution, food and water shortage, cyberspace insecurity, over-population, land erosion, and an overburdened health care system are major issues facing the human race and our planet. These challenges have presented a mandate to devel... Read More about Handbook Of Biomimetics And Bioinspiration: Biologically-driven Engineering Of Materials, Processes, Devices, And Systems.

Book Chapter

Direct-write bioprinting of cell-laden methacrylated gelatin hydrogels (2014)
Journal Article

Fabrication of three dimensional (3D) organoids with controlled microarchitectures has been shown to enhance tissue functionality. Bioprinting can be used to precisely position cells and cell-laden materials to generate controlled tissue architecture...

Immunocompetent 3D model of human upper airway for disease modeling and in vitro drug evaluation (2014)
Journal Article

The development of more complex in vitro models for the assessment of novel drugs and chemicals is needed because of the limited biological relevance of animal models to humans as well as ethical considerations. Although some human-cell-based assays... Read More about Immunocompetent 3D model of human upper airway for disease modeling and in vitro drug evaluation.
