Chitosan Film/Membrane as a Surface to Alter Brain Glioma Growth and Migration

Gao W.J., Wang Y.-H., Gu H.-Y., Jandhyam S., Dukhande V.V., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Leung S.W., Bhushan A., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Idaho State University, US

A hydrophilic polysaccharide derived from chitin, chitosan has gained increasing popularity in biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, wound dressing, and drug delivery because of its presumed biocompatibility. These applications were founded on chemical similarities [...]

A Non-Contact Culture Model for Investigating Cell Signaling and Nanotoxicity

Gao W.J., Dukhande V.V., Jandhyam S., Wang Y.-H., Gu H.-Y., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Leung S.W., Idaho State University, US

There is general agreement that in vitro cell model systems offer many advantages over in vivo model systems in elucidation of cell signaling and other mechanisms underlying a toxicant’s effect. While the 3-D cell models [...]

A Co-Culture Model for Nanotoxicity and Tissue Engineering Studies

Wang Y.-H., Jandhyam S., Dukhande V.V., Gao W.J., Gu H.-Y., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Leung S.W., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Idaho State University College of Pharmacy & Biomedical Research Institute, US

Cell model systems in vitro play vital roles in recent advances in toxicological and tissue engineering research. They are particularly versatile in facilitating signaling and related mechanistic studies. Although the 3-D cell models better simulate [...]
