Gold sieving graph with all my data and model lines

This morning I did a little work with the track etched membranes (0.05um 13mm). I talked with Paul over in Hopeman and he is currently working on making a small coring tool to cut out the membranes (it should be done by the end of the day). In the mean time I figured out that…

We are happy to be back this summer. Anthony has been working on setting up a system that mimics Kilean’s dialysis devices. Our approach is different in two important ways. First, we are using PETLs, instead of PDMS/glass.  For those who are not familiar with PETLs, here is a short summary: Commercial laminating pouches made…

Abstract Endothelial cell attachment to porous substrates via focal adhesions is initially affected by pore spacing and not absolute porosity. Maturation of endothelial monolayers via cell-cell interactions occurred over the same time course regardless of substrate porosity, pore size and contact area. Cell-matrix interactions at maturity were dictated by substrate stiffness. Data       [missing figure] Fig. 4 Endothelial…

B,C and D) Before capturing, After capturing and After releasing panels, respectively, including schematic images…

Hello NRG! Thanks to Jim McGrath and NSF, St. John Fisher College students and myself will have the opportunity to conduct research at URNano and the McGrath Lab this summer.  I am an Assistant Professor at Fisher in the Biology Department, and my  background is in cellular immunology, with a focus on sterile inflammation.  Why…
