Development of a capillary based helicobacter hepaticus biosensor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Helicobacter hepaticus causes hepatitis in mice. Infections with H. hepaticus can invalidate animal research studies and early detection helps curtail the spread of infection. The objective of this study was to develop a ...
Development of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer optical nanoscale biosensor based on a liquid-core waveguide platform
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In order to produce a more versatile, adaptable, and effective method for detection of biological analytes, a self-contained and robust fluorescent optical biosensor architecture utilizing fluorescence resonance energy ...
Optical glucose nanobiosensor encapsulated in erythrocytes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An implantable glucose biosensor encapsulated in erythrocytes, Red Blood Cells (RBC), will become a method for continuously measuring blood glucose concentration in diabetics. In 2005, the American Diabetes Association ...
Development of a post-traumatic osteoarthritis model to evaluate the effects of impact velocity and maximum strain on articular cartilage cell viability, matrix biomarkers, and material properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a very painful and debilitating disease that is associated with mechanical injury to articular cartilage, yet the severity of trauma required to induce it is unknown. The objective ...
Development of tissue based biomaterials for articular cartilage injuries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Multiple biomaterials have been developed in this work. Decellularized porcine diaphragm extracellular matrix was homogenized and supplemented with various biomodulatory agents. It was developed as an injectable material ...
Effects of oxidative stress and Alzheimer's amyloid-beta peptide on astrocytes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Oxidative stress and deposition of amyloid-[beta] peptide (A[beta]) in brains have been hypothesized as causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and research ...
