Protecting the Diabetic Neuropathic Foot Using Optimized Wound Site Foot-Loading Footwear
Diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers are a common and serious complication of diabetes, leading to significant morbidity and healthcare costs. Current offloading solutions often face challenges in effectively redistributing plantar pressure to prevent ulcer formation. In this context, the development of innovative technologies such as graded stiffness offloading insoles presents a promising approach to address this […] Read More >
Rationally Designed Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Real-Time Monitoring of Cholinesterase Activity and Inhibition in Plasma
We employ a fluorometric approach to monitor the activity and inhibition of cholinesterase (CHE) enzymes in blood plasma. We utilize near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as probes strategically functionalized with myristoylcholine (MC), which is a substrate for CHE. The fluorescence intensity of MC-suspended SWCNTs undergoes a significant decrease upon interaction with CHE, attributed […] Read More >
Using Eye-Tracking in VR to Identify Subject Preferences to Optimize Personalization
The implementation of virtual reality (VR) has been spreading in many research fields and healthcare applications. In order to better personalize the presented content, there is a need to identify the subjective experience at each time point. Previous studies with eye-tracking (ET) have demonstrated its links to preferences; therefore, collecting ET data during VR experiences […] Read More >
Spatially Targeted Transfection of Mammalian Cells
Mammalian cell transfection with DNA, RNA, small molecules, and proteins is a widely used molecular biology technique. The primary method of cell transfection is electropermeabilization, which increases the permeability of the cell membrane, allowing chemicals, drugs or DNA to be introduced into the cell. Bulk electroporation has been used for DNA transfection in suspension cells […] Read More >
Data Driven Algorithm For Visualizing Myelin in The Human Brain
Quantification of myelin content in the human brain is the key for early disease detection and for assessing treatment response in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. However, it has remained challenging due to lack of a reliable method for probing sub-voxel features from clinical MRI data. We developed a data-driven algorithm that accurately converts clinical MRI […] Read More >
Mapping Transverse Relaxation in Preclinical MRI Scanners
UNMET NEED Accurate quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) is gradually becoming indispensable in clinical diagnostics and research. It’s application on preclinical MRI scanners, however, is hampered by the use of strong imaging gradients, which act to increase the effects of molecular diffusion, leading to bias of the measured signals. This inherent bias makes qMRI techniques […] Read More >
Advanced Sensitivity in Point-of-Care Diagnostics: Electrokinetic Preconcentration Technology
As is evident from the lateral-flow-assay (LFA) that became so popular with detection of Corona virus, there is an urgent need to increase the sensitivity of detection of both point-of-care (POC) and self-testing (for example, used by individuals at home) devices. Lateral flow kits result in relatively low detection limit as only a small fraction […] Read More >
