Tissue-Engineered Nanoclay-Based Bone-Mimetic 3D In Vitro Testbed for Studying Breast Cancer Metastasis to Bone
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Breast cancer shows a high affinity towards the bone, causing bone-related complications leading to poor clinical prognosis. Approximately 80% of breast cancer patients die within five years after primary cancer has ... -
Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals: Photophysical and Photochemical Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Lead halide perovskites nanocrystals (LHP NCs) are a recent novel material of ‘high-defect tolerance’ that has been synthesized which have provided a new platform for opto-electronic devices, such as photovoltaics and ... -
Manipulation and Isolation of Biomolecules Using Dielectrophoretic and Hydrodynamic Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Novel particle manipulation techniques are developed to separate, isolate, and control a wide range biomolecules from DNA to cells in complex solution such as whole blood. First, we show that integrating an insulating tip ... -
Adhesion With Slender Structures: Tape Loops, Crumples, and Origami
(North Dakota State University, 2021)The desire for improved adhesive systems led us to examine three geometries: tape loops, crumples, and origami shapes. The tape loop is mechanically interesting because it is stable in more than one configuration. For ... -
Study of New Functionalized Nanomaterials for Non-Invasive Point-of-Care Biosensor Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Early disease detection and in-time health monitoring via novel sensing systems is highly demanded for modern medicine and health management. Recent development in nanotechnology and nanomaterials such as functionalized ... -
In-Silico Investigation of Geological and Biological Materials by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a computational technique that predicts the time-dependent behavior of a molecular system utilizing molecular mechanics. MD simulations are extensively employed in the scientific arena ... -
Enhanced Bone Tissue Regeneration Enabled with Tissue-Engineered Interlocking Nanoclay Scaffolds and Bone Morphogenic Proteins
(North Dakota State University, 2022)About 6 million bone fractures occur annually in the US; 30% require bone grafting transplants to aid bone healing. Well-established clinical therapy techniques for bone regeneration suffer from limited availability, higher ... -
Dynamic 3D In Vitro Bone Metastatic Testbeds for Prostate and Breast Cancer
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Metastatic prostate cancer spreads preferentially to the bone, causing skeletal complications associated with significant morbidity and a poor prognosis, despite current therapeutic approaches. Increasing evidence suggests ...
