CFTR chloride channels and ABC active transporters undergo similar structural rearrangements as part of their operation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Defects in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) underlie the lethal genetic disease cystic fibrosis. Although CFTR belongs ... -
Characterization [of] nucleic acids unwinding and exploring its application in miRNA detection in the nanopore
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short (~14-27 nucleotides) noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been found in all types of tumors. Reverse ... -
Electromagnetic stimulation of a composite scaffold for wound healing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Decellularized tissues have been investigated as natural sources for tissue scaffolds as synthetic mimicry of the natural extracellular matrix is quite ... -
Study of low noise high throughput microchip device for electrochemical measurement from single cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)We are developing transparent multi- electrochemical electrode arrays on microchips in order to automate measurement of quantal exocytosis of oxidizable transmitter from individual vesicles. In order to achieve low noise ... -
True depth resolved polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PSOCT) can image sample polarization properties including retardance, diattenuance, and optical axis and has potential applications in many biomedical fields. However, ...
