Enhanced angiogenesis with nitric oxide releasing chitosan-pva hydrogel for wound healing
(
Society for Biomaterials
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Statement of Purpose: Nitric oxide (NO) released from endothelial cells endogenously promotes angiogenesis. The potential of using exogenous NO for enhancing faster healing of acute and chronic wounds have also been supported ...
Experimental investigation of volume fraction in an annulus using electrical resistance tomography
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Horizontal drilling technology has shown to improve the production and cost-effectiveness of the well by generating multiple extraction points from a single vertical well. The efficiency of hole cleaning is reduced because ...
Nanosilver loaded GelMA hydrogel for antimicrobial coating of biomedical implants
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Bacterial adhesion to the surface of implants in surgical procedures represents a major problem in surgeries, as it incurs high medical costs and could lead to postoperative infections. Different strategies have been ...
Experimental studies and computer modeling of viscoelastic properties of heart valve leaflets: Implication in heart valve tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Diseased or damaged heart valve leaflets are amongst the major causes of illness and death globally. The currently available treatment of heart valve patients is to mend the damaged valves, but in most severe cases, heart ...
Electrospun PET-PU scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is projected to continuously increase in the coming decades, with a colossal associated cost of treatment. In the US alone, 83.6 million people are estimated to have one or ...
Effect of bone density on the compressive mechanical properties of bovine trabecular bone
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The density of bone is subject to change due to natural causes or bone abnormalities and disorders such as osteopenia, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. One of the most concerning attributes of osteoporosis is its non-expressive ...
Culture of PC12 neuronal cells in GelMA hydrogel for brain tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Restoration of brain functions following trauma or degenerative neural diseases is considered among the greatest challenges in neurology due to the fact that the central nervous system (CNS) does not regenerate on its own. ...
Reduced graphene oxide impregnated gelma hydrogel promotes angiogenic activity in chick embryo model
(
Society for Biomaterials
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Statement of Purpose: Non-healing or slow healing of chronic wounds is among the serious complications of diabetes. Decrease in blood supply along with oxygen, nutrients and growth factors leads to reduced proliferation ...
The effect of multiphase flow behaviour on a horizontal annulus by integrating high-speed imaging technique
(
Begell House Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The multiphase flow behavior in a pipe is predictable and the literature is abandon of its investigation. However, the multiphase flow behavior in a horizontal annulus is complicated. Herein, we present the high-speed ...
Measurements of Elastic Properties of Biological Hydrogels using Atomic Force Microscopy
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Biological hydrogels are widely used as extracellular environment for encapsulating and growing cells. Mechanical properties of hydrogels can influence cell function, mechanotransduction and cellular behavior such as growth, ...
