  • Chronic Toxicological Effects in Daphnia magna from Exposure to PMMA Nanoplastics

    Creator:
    Brown, Hans
    Abstract:
    Plastic pollution is an ever-increasing environmental threat. As large-scale plastics break down to form nanoscale plastics, it is essential to investigate their effects on freshwater ecosystems. With many plastic nanoparticle (NP) studies favoring the effects of common polystyrene (PS) plastics, a gap is formed for other common plastic types like...

  • Novel Predictive Simulation of Organ Perfusion Kinetics for Design of Cryopreservation Procedures

    Creator:
    Johnson, Hill S.
    Abstract:
    Despite the many advances in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, the need for long term organ and tissue storage remains among the unsolved problems in the field. Researchers are investigating several possible solutions to the issue that aim to maintain the function and integrity of the biological tissues during storage and...

  • State-of-the-Art Combination Therapies and Nanomedicines for Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    Creator:
    Fabbi, Meagan C.
    Abstract:
    Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive molecular subtype of malignant cells that tends to proliferate quickly and is commonly resistant to traditional chemotherapy leading to relapses in prognosis more frequently than other forms of breast cancer (BCa) [1][2][3]. Current treatment options include surgical resection of cancerous tissue and...

  • Gold Nanoparticles as Thiophenol Detection Probes

    Creator:
    Pond, Emily
    Abstract:
    The development of simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for thiophenol detection is of great importance in various fields, including environmental monitoring and food quality. Here, we present a novel approach for the colorimetric detection of thiophenols using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the sensing platform. AuNPs aggregate in the presence of...

  • Expression Properties of Two Promoters During Callus and Shoot Development in Transgenic Poplar

    Creator:
    Brousseau, Anna G.
    Abstract:
    The Arabidopsis thaliana developmental promoters of WUSCHEL (WUS) and COLD SHOCK DOMAIN PROTEIN 3 (CSP3) were tested for their suitability as potential control elements for the Cre-Lox recombination system in poplar cells. To remove the integrated transgene after CRISPR machinery has modified the genome, timely control of Cre is required....

  • Disability to Super-Ability: Issues Along The Human Enhancement Spectrum

    Creator:
    Oakes, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the field of medical and computer technology promise a new age of human enhancement technology (HET). These technologies may be aptly applied to existing Assistive Technology (AT), which was created to ameliorate disability, moving one up the spectrum of ability. This study aimed to determine how these technologies...

  • Entrapment of Micro-Algae in Modified Alginate Beads for Oxygen and Nutrient Source

    Creator:
    Hughson, Jason D.
    Abstract:
    Presented here is an investigation and comparison of two entrapment methods of algae. Conventional calcium alginate bead entrapment is compared to a recently described modified bead entrapment method, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) and calcium alginate, which results in void or capillary formation within the beads. It is shown that algal growth...
