Title: Bioactive ceramic coating on orthopedic implants for enhanced bone tissue integration
Author: Aniket, .
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Nanoscience, Biomedical engineering
Description: Tissue integration between bone and orthopedic implant is essential for implant fixation and longevity. An immunological response leads to fibrous encapsulation of metallic implants leading to implant instability and failure. Bioactive ceramics ha...

Title: DOPAMINE DETECTION VIA SURFACE ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING FOR PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Author: Cutler, Eric
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: Motion is controlled via the excitatory or inhibitory responses of the motor pathway by receptors in Substantia Nigra of the brain, modulated by a main neurotransmitter dopamine (DA). Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the neurological disorder effecting...

Title: Development of injectable bioceramic drug delivery system for solid tumor treatment
Author: Haig, James
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: According to the national cancer institute "In 2016, an estimated 1,685,210 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 595,690 people will die from the disease" and "The number of people living beyond a cancer diagnosis reached...

Title: EFFECT OF BIOCERAMIC FUNCTIONAL GROUPS ON DRUG BINDING AND RELEASE KINETICS
Author: Trujillo, Christopher
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: Bioceramics have been studied extensively as drug delivery systems (DDS). Those studies have aimed to tailor the drug binding and release kinetics to successfully treat infections and other diseases. This research suggests that the drug binding an...

Title: ENGINEERING BIOCERAMIC MICROSTRUCTURE FOR CUSTOMIZED DRUG DELIVERY
Author: Pacheco, Hernando
Date Created: 2013
Subjects--Topical: Engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: One of the most efficient approaches to treat cancer and infection is to use biomaterials as a drug delivery system (DDS). The goal is for the material to provide a sustained release of therapeutic drug dose locally to target the ill tissue withou...

Title: ENGINEERING OXYGEN TRANSPORT FOR IMPROVING CELL PERFORMANCE IN HEPATIC DEVICES
Author: Shi, Gengbei
Date Created: 2012
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Biomedical engineering
Description: The bioartificial liver (BAL) advancing medical technology aims to provide temporary liver substitution for patients in dire need of liver transplants and also for drug development. Yet despite nearly fifty years of development, the approval for t...

Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Biomedical engineering
Description: Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of living structures with cell-laden biomaterials has been achieved in vitro, however, central nervous system tissues have been limited by the low viability printing of cerebral vessels, using conventional printi...

Title: The Determination of Temperature-dependent CPA Diffusion Properties in Feline Testicular Tissue
Author: Kirkland, Kaitlyn
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Biomedical engineering
Description: Fertility preservation would benefit young males who must undergo treatments that can result in sterilization, such as radiation treatments for cancer. This can be achieved by removing some testicular tissue before treatment and putting it into fr...
