Analysis of mutual acoustic coupling in CMUT arrays using an accurate lumped element nonlinear equivalent circuit model
(2012)We use an accurate nonlinear equivalent circuit model to analyze CMUT arrays with multiple cells, where every cell in the array is coupled to other cells at their acoustic terminals through a mutual radiation impedance ... -
Antigenic GM3 lactone mimetic molecule integrated mannosylated glycopeptide nanofibers for the activation and maturation of dendritic cells
(American Chemical Society, 2017)The ability of dendritic cells to coordinate innate and adaptive immune responses makes them essential targets for vaccination strategies. Presentation of specific antigens by dendritic cells is required for the activation ... -
Artificial neural network modeling and simulation of in-vitro nanoparticle-cell interactions
(American Scientific Publishers, 2014)In this research a prediction model for the cellular uptake efficiency of nanoparticles (NPs), which is the rate that NPs adhere to a cell surface or enter a cell, is investigated via an artificial neural network (ANN) ... -
Attributed relational graphs for cell nucleus segmentation in fluorescence microscopy images
(IEEE, 2013)More rapid and accurate high-throughput screening in molecular cellular biology research has become possible with the development of automated microscopy imaging, for which cell nucleus segmentation commonly constitutes ... -
Bacteria encapsulated electrospun nanofibrous webs for remediation of methylene blue dye in water
(Elsevier, 2017-04)In this study, preparation and application of novel biocomposite materials that were produced by encapsulation of bacterial cells within electrospun nanofibrous webs are described. A commercial strain of Pseudomonas ... -
Bioactive self-assembled peptide nanofibers for corneal stroma regeneration
(Elsevier, 2014)Defects in the corneal stroma caused by trauma or diseases such as macular corneal dystrophy and keratoconus can be detrimental for vision. Development of therapeutic methods to enhance corneal regeneration is essential ... -
Biosystems engineering of prokaryotes with tumor-killing capacities
(Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2016)Certain bacteria selectively attack tumor tissues and trigger tumor shrinkage by producing toxins and modulating the local immune system, but their clinical utility is limited because of the dangers posed by systemic ... -
Cell nuclei segmentation in pap smear test images
(2009)Cervical cancer is a preventable disease and the dysplasia it causes can be scanned by using a pap smear test. It can be beneficial to develop a computer-assisted diagnosis system to make the pap smear test robust and ... -
Cellular internalization of therapeutic oligonucleotides by peptide amphiphile nanofibers and nanospheres
(American Chemical Society, 2016-04)Oligonucleotides are promising drug candidates due to the exceptionally high specificity they exhibit toward their target DNA and RNA sequences. However, their poor pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, in ... -
Chromatin-modifying enzymes as modulators of reprogramming
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by somatic cell reprogramming involves global epigenetic remodelling. Whereas several proteins are known to regulate chromatin marks associated with the distinct epigenetic ... -
Chromium(VI) biosorption and bioaccumulation by Live and acid-modified biomass of a novel morganella morganii isolate
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)Conventional methods of chromium removal are often insufficient for the remediation of chromium-contaminated natural environments, necessitating the development of alternative strategies. In this paper, we report the ... -
Designing circular CMUT cells using CMUT biasing chart
(IEEE, 2012-10)A very accurate equivalent circuit model for circular CMUT cell is recently proposed. As a consequence of this model, the operating characteristics of the cell is derived and presented as a biasing chart for CMUTs. We ... -
Detection of Calcium-induced morphological changes on RBCs by digital holographic microscopy and blinking optical tweezers
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)Ca+2 level in the circulating red blood cells (RBCs) takes part not only in controlling biophysical properties, but also affects the membrane composition, and its morphological and rheological properties. Excessive ... -
Digital holographic microscopy of phase separation in multicomponent lipid membranes
(SPIE, 2016)Lateral in-homogeneities in lipid compositions cause microdomains formation and change in the physical properties of biological membranes. With the presence of cholesterol and mixed species of lipids, phospholipid membranes ... -
Encapsulation of two different TLR ligands into liposomes confer protective immunity and prevent tumor development
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)Nucleic acid-based Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands are promising adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Combination of TLR ligands potentiates immune response by providing synergistic immune activity via triggering ... -
Enhanced immunostimulatory activity of cyclic dinucleotides on mouse cells when complexed with a cell-penetrating peptide or combined with CpG
(Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2015)Recognition of pathogen-derived nucleic acids by immune cells is critical for the activation of protective innate immune responses. Bacterial cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) are small nucleic acids that are directly recognized ... -
Equivalent circuit-based analysis of CMUT cell dynamics in arrays
(IEEE, 2013)Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) are usually composed of large arrays of closely packed cells. In this work, we use an equivalent circuit model to analyze CMUT arrays with multiple cells. We study ... -
Extracting the temperature distribution on a phase-change memory cell during crystallization
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2016-10)Phase-change memory (PCM) devices are enabled by amorphization- and crystallization-induced changes in the devices' electrical resistances. Amorphization is achieved by melting and quenching the active volume using short ... -
