Magnetic Targeting of Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells for Rapid Closure and Healing of Intracranial Aneurysm/Pseudoaneurysm

Arias S.L., Alucozai M., Pastrana F., Reece L.M., Kempaiaih R., Pavon J.J., Allain J.P., Purdue University, US

A novel approach is proposed in this study using a magnetic strategy to address the current disadvantages of detachable coils and stent grafts for aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm treatment. It consists of a patch facing the aneurysm neck [...]

Aerosol-based fabrication of modified chitosans and their application for gene transfection

Byeon J.H., Roberts J.T., Purdue University, US

Droplets containing modified chitosans were formed by collison atomization, dried to form solid particles, and collected and studied for potential use as nanocarriers (Figure 1). Modified chitosans consisted of a chitosan backbone and an additional [...]

Direct Pulsed Laser Crystallization of Photoactive thin films at Room Temperature

Cheng G.J., Zhang Yi, Purdue University, US

Photoactive semiconductor materials used for thin film solar cells have been considered one of the most promising technologies with demonstrated high efficiency in both lab scale cells. World-wide research and development (R&D) have been carried [...]

Aerosol based fabrication of thiol-capped gold nanoparticles and their application for gene transfection

Byeon J.H., Roberts J.T., Purdue University, US

Thiol-capped Au nanoparticles can be used as sensitive probes of gas and vapor concentrations, as magnetic materials in data storage devices, for selective drug delivery, and for biomedical imaging.3 In this study, ambient-spark-produced-Au-nanoparticle-laden nitrogen gas [...]

Direct Manufacturing of Functional Structures on 3D microscale surfaces by Laser Dynamic Forming

Huang G., Cheng G.J., Purdue University, US

This paper demonstrates a scalable and fast-shaping top-down integration technique, Laser Dynamic Forming (LDF), capable of manufacturing 3D functional structures conformal to micro-to-mesoscale curvilinear features on various substrates by the laser-induced shockwave. The functional devices [...]
