Mechanical Properties of a composite material made of HAp nanofibers
Biomaterials based on hydroxyapatite (HAp) are often studied due to the favorable answer presented as a substitute of bone tissue. However, the mechanical properties of these materials have not been studied deep enough. Synthesis of [...]
Testing of a 3D printed, nanostructured osteochondral implant for knee repair in a small animal model
Holmes B., Kuo C-Y, Arumugasaamy N., Gandhi N., Rossi C., Fisher J.P., Zhang L., Oetgen M., Nanochon, Children's National Medical Center, US
Osteochondral lesions of the knee are difficult injuries to treat [1, 2]. Despite improvements in the diagnosis of these lesions, optimal treatment remains elusive, likely as a result of the complex interactions between host factors [...]

An ex-vivo and in-vivo performance of a switchable carbon nanotube membrane device for transdermal nicotine delivery
Purpose: Transdermal nicotine patches and nicotine gums therapy along with psychological counseling support is most widely used therapy for smoking cessation, but has low success rate of 25% for 2 year without relapse. An ideal [...]
Functionality and degradation of 3D-printed polymeric scaffolds for mandibular reconstruction and vascularized bone tissue repair
One of the greatest challenges in field of maxillofacial and craniofacial reconstruction is to quickly and adequately induce a vascular network within any large sections of repaired bone tissue. In this study we are addressing [...]
Studying the Microalgae Growth and Stable Nanoemulsion Production Systems for Environmental Mitigations
Recently, environmental concerns have been rising in the world because of the greenhouse gasses, such as CO2, N2O, CH4, and fluorinated gases and industrial products, which in turn cause irreversible climate changes. Algal oils are [...]
Acne Treatment based on Selective Photothermolysis of Sebaceous Follicles with Topically Delivered Gold Plasmonic Particles
A laser treatment for acne, one of the most common dermatologic conditions, with 150 nm diameter plasmonic resonant particles tuned to absorb near infrared light has been developed. Acne lesions originate from sebaceous follicles; the [...]
