(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016) -
Development of a composite acellular tissue graft for musculoskeletal tissue engineering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)A composite acellular tissue graft comprised of decellularized tendon conjugated with nanomaterials has been developed for musculoskeletal tissue engineering applications. The focus of this dissertation is on the development ... -
Electrospinning lecithin-polycaprolactone scaffolds with gold nanoparticles for osteoarthritis prevention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The human body has articular cartilage covering the ends of the bones to act as a shock absorber and aid in movement. In a disease state, this articular cartilage breaks down causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. With ... -
Fabrication and characterization of a plasmonic grating platform for enhanced fluorescence biosensor applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) research has grown substantially over the past several years and led to many substantial discoveries in nanotechnology. SPR is a phenomenon where light can be coupled to the interface between ... -
In situ polymerizing collagen for the development of 3D printed tissue engineering scaffolds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Natural materials have been processed and utilized as scaffold materials in the field of tissue engineering for many years. One natural material often utilized is collagen since it is the main structural protein in mammalian ...
