Undergrad Ryan Myrick published a paper in Biofabrication regarding a micropyramid-patterned, oxygen-permeable bottomed dish for high density culture of pancreatic islets. As research and better management devices are developed for people with type 1 diabetes, creating a viable means to
Dr. Jagiełło publishes Article in Scientific Reports
Dr. Alicja Jagiełło and undergrad Ulysses Castro published a new paper highlighting multi-axes optical tweezers active microrheology (AMR) as a tool for understanding peri-cellular measurements. The paper measures how stiffness around dermal fibroblasts (DFs) and human fibrosarcoma HT1080

ACS Sensors publishes paper on our transcutaneous pH and Lactate sensor
The publication outlines the in vivo photonic detection of both pH and Lactate in a single, continuous, transcutaneous flexible sensor. PH and Lactate are important biomarkers for the detection and monitoring of sepsis, liver and lung disease. When monitored in
Rounding out 2021 with a new publication in Acta Biomaterialia
PhD candidates, Alicja Jagiełło and Qingda Hu, and undergrad, Ulysses Castillo, published a paper on ruthenium-catalyzed photocrosslinking (RCP) as a tool for creating distinct stiffness anisotropies in the extracellular matrix. The paper outlines how RCP can induce directional change in
