Towards a carbon nanotube antibody sensor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
This work investigated single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/polymer-protein A complexes for optically reporting antibody concentration via a change in near infrared fluorescent emission after antibody binding. SWNT have ...
Cervical mucus prorperties stratifv risk for preterm birth
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Preterm birth impacts 15 million babies every year, leading to morbidity, mortality, significant health care costs, and lifelong consequences. The causes of preterm birth are unknown, resulting in ineffective treatment, ...
Developing osteoarthritis treatments through cartilage tissue engineering and molecular imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Tissue engineering can be applied to develop therapeutic techniques for osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease caused by the progressive deterioration of cartilage in joints. An inherent goal in developing cartilage-replacement ...
A study of inter-individual differences in the DNA damage response
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Agents that damage our DNA are omnipresent in our environment and inside our cells themselves. Left unrepaired, DNA damage can lead to premature aging, neurodegeneration and cancer. Humans have thus evolved intricate and ...
