Rapid Isolation of AMI Markers using Nanomagnetic Particles
Due to the increasing number of AMI patients accompanied with a difficulty in diagnosing the anomaly, a major push to develop innovative approaches to tackle the recognition of myocardial infarctions has been noticed. Most of [...]
Application of Nanomagnetic Particles in Hyperthermia Cancer Treatment
This research focuses on developing uniform particles with a Curie temperature that is similar to the therapeutic one for the purpose of cncer treatment. Such particles will self-regulate the temperature of the tumor during Magnetic [...]
A search of superparamagnetic iron oxide-myoglobin as potential nanoparticle based magnetic resonance imaging marker in mouse heart imaging
Superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe2O3) has emerged as potential MRI contrast agent in whole animal imaging to localize the site of clinically important physiological damage such as ischemia, angiogenesis, oxygen insufficiency, immuno-deficiency [1, 2]. We achieved [...]
Molecular Targeted Functional, Cellular and Molecular Imaging of Atherosclerosis with Antibody-conjugated Superparamagnetic Particles Using Magnetic Resonance
Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful non-invasive technique that provides high-resolution anatomical images of biological tssue based on their inherent physio-chemical properties. The signal from MRI can be modulated by contrast agents, which [...]
Magnetic Nanoparticles for Self Controlled Hyperthermia Treatment of Tumors
Self controlled magnetic hyperthermia at tumor sites requires magnetic particles with Curie temperature similar to that of the desired tumor temperature. Elevated temperature at the tumor site was reported to decrease the tumor resistivety to [...]
Nanomagnetic Immunoassay for Rapid Detection of Escherichia coli
This study identifies a simple process to quickly conduct an analysis, under field conditions, for detection of pathogens. A magnetic sandwich immunoassay is developed for rapid isolation and detection of targeted pathogen. Escherichia coli BL21 [...]
Assisted Alignement of Carbon Nanotubes
Extensive research has been focused on the processing of carbon nanotubes polymeric composites. The ability to impose a preferred alignment of carbon nanotubes in a composite will increase the effectiveness of utilizing nanotubes in composite [...]
Glucometers to Detect for Heart Attack
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), commonly referred to as a heart attack, is a disorder in which damage to an area of heart muscle occurs because of an inadequate supply of oxygen to that area leading [...]
Characterization of Micropumps for Biomedical Applications
A novel class of micro pump was developed at the Biomagnetic Engineering Lab at Florida State University. The pump operates by utilizing the viscous effects that are dominant the micro scale and by spinning a [...]
