Voting is open until NRG tomorrow. We’ll critically discuss the winner and summarize the 2nd place paper. [yop_poll id=”3″]

Introduction Over the past year, our lab has been working in close collaboration with the Schwarz lab to design, develop, and manufacture microfluidic transwells for their P50 project. The project was initiated after the discovery of S. aureus migration through sub-micron canaliculi in vivo. To further explore the genes involved in this newly proposed mechanism of immune…

This is part three of a series of posts on constructing a mathematical model of the movement of gold through a porous membrane. In part one, I implemented William Deen’s mathematical model of the electrostatic and steric effects that contribute to whether a gold nanoparticle will translocate through a pore. The mathematica and matlab code…

I had some extra samples from last week and had been wanting to try SEM on cells, so I went for it this week.  Specifically, I was hoping to get images of vacuoles in cells over free-standing pnc-Si.  I followed a rather complicated protocol full of dangerous chemicals to fix the cells and then dehydrate…

Traditional Wound Healing Analysis (the implicit gold standard) Wound recovery is reported base on the closing of the two wound edges.   Proposed Wound Healing Analysis (cell counting/tracking methods): Wound recovery is reported base on the migration/movement of the wound healing cells.   Recap on angle autocorrelation We look at the correlation of angles between…
