Effect of Milk Supplementation on Bone Development in Pre-Pubertal Pigs

Creator:

Batty, Brandon S.

Abstract:

Bone is much more than a simple, static organ. While its classical functions of mineral storage, organ protection, and locomotion still hold true, further studies into the skeleton have revealed a dynamic system capable of signaling, communication, remodeling, and responding to various stimuli. Overall skeletal health is critically important to...

Synthesis and evaluation of PEO-coated materials for microchannel-based hemodialysis

Creator:

Heintz, Keely

Abstract:

The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...
