Mathematical and experimental studies in cellular decision making
The biological sciences are undergoing an epistemological revolution. Mathematical modeling, quantitative experiments and data analysis, machine learning and other methods of "big-data" modeling are slowly but surely ... -
Effect of rear wheel suspension on tilt-in-space wheelchair shock and vibration attenuation
Suspension systems are designed to reduce shock and vibration exposure. Prior to the QuadshoX LLC suspension kit (Fort Collins, CO), manual tilt-in-space wheelchairs did not have rear wheel suspension available for use. ... -
Engineering a biomimetic periosteum on cortical bone allografts for the reconstruction of critical-sized bone defects in mice
Load bearing bone allografts suffer from clinical failure due to low allograft-host tissue integration. Removal of the periosteum, a thin tissue layer on bone with a high regenerative capacity, is responsible for bone ... -
Engineering in vitro models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Decreased resources and a scarcity of affordable, healthy food is contributing to rising obesity rates throughout the world. Consequentially, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is highly correlated with ...
