SEROTONIN SENSOR-INTEGRATED IN VITRO SYSTEMS AS RESEARCH TOOLS TO ADDRESS THE GUT BRAIN AXIS
(2022)The gut-brain-axis (GBA) is a bi-directional communication system between the gastrointestinal (GI) enteric nervous system and the central nervous system, capable of complex crosstalk between the gut and the brain to ... -
Strategies for small RNA loading into extracellular vesicles
(2022)Small RNAs are an exciting class of therapeutics with significant untapped therapeutic potential, due to their ability to affect cell behavior at the RNA level. However, delivery of RNA is a challenge due to its size and ... -
Leveraging Biomaterials to Direct Immune Function in Cancer and Autoimmunity
(2022)Immune dysregulation and difficulties in directing immune function in cancer and autoimmune disease pose complex challenges for existing vaccines and immunotherapies. In cancer, tumor cells exploit processes to evade the ... -
Electrogenetic communication structures to encode, propagate, and decode information through synthetic biology
(2022)Cellular communication, the exchange of information between cells, is a process in which cues are encoded, propagated, and decoded through shared chemical and physical semantics. This general process forms the basis for ... -
CONFINED PHOTOTHERMAL HEATING OF NANOPARTICLE DISPLAYED BIOMATERIALS
(2021)Controlling the temperature of biological systems has long been utilized as a tool for regulating their subsequent biological activity. Recently, photothermal heating of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has emerged as an efficient ...
