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: Design of a Microstrip Antenna and PCB for use in an Electrocorticography Biomedical Implant
Author: West, Jakob
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Electrical engineering, Biomedical engineering, Electromagnetism
Description: An implantable system, that is part of a wireless body area network, is under development for a study monitoring of neural activity in rats with epilepsy. The study will continue over a nine month period to collect data for epilepsy research. This...

Title: PREPARATION AND VISUALIZATION OF INDIVIDUAL ACTIN FILAMENTS USING ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY FOR THE STUDY OF ACTIN/DNA HYDROGEL COMPLEXES
Author: Kennedy, Joshua
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Physics, Biophysics, Biomedical engineering
Description: A protocol of sample preparation for the visualization of single actin filaments at the nanoscale using atomic force microscopy for use in studies of engineered actin/DNA conjugated hydrogel complexes was developed. Hydrogels are cross-linked netw...

Title: SINGLE-STEP, REDUCED SHEAR, MICROFLUIDIC EXTRUSION OF BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER
Author: Wetzel, Isaac
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...
