Single Cell Force Platforms to Link Force-ECM Coupling in Pathophysiology
… biophysical link in the remodeling of the ECM and perpetuation of desmoplasia. Using NFM, seven discreet steps in formation of force-exerting PLPs anywhere along the cell body is documented, which allow cells to spread laterally and increase in contractility. Using a variety of fiber …

High Temperature SiC Embedded Chip Module (ECM) with Double-sided Metallization Structure
… in the form of an Embedded Chip Module (ECM) is proposed to realize a lower stress distribution in a mechanically balanced structure with double-sided metallization layers and material CTE match in the structure. Thermal and thermo-mechanical analysis on an ECM is then used to demonstrate …

Interactions of Fibroblast with Cytotoxic and Invasive Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on ECM Mimicking Fibers
… breaking down the damaged extracellular matrix (ECM) and secreting a new ECM which aids in wound repair and supports the migration of immune cells. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen commonly associated with health-care infections (HCAIs) due to its ability to take advantage of …

Understanding the achievement of benefits through use of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems in public sector organisations
… implementing the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system because of their large volume of unstructured content which led to documents being stored in various repositories. This made it difficult for such organisations to access, control and locate documents. ECM systems are therefore …

A Microfludic Assay Device for Study of Cell Migration on ECM-mimicking Suspended Nanofibers in Presence of Biochemical Cues
… embryogenesis. In vivo, cells migrate on fibrous ECM, but chemotaxis studies are typically conducted on flat substrates which fail to recapitulate ECM or 3D gel environments with heterogeneous and poorly defined biophysical properties. To address these challenges, this thesis focused on developing …

Cue, signal, response analysis of murine embryonic stem cell differentiation : multivariable analysis of cytokine and ECM effects on commitment to differentiation
The highly complex nature of developmental cell fate decisions is exemplified by murine embryonic stem cell (ES cell) differentiation, for which almost two decades of study has identified a small set of putative individual molecular cues which are difficult to generalize broadly or discern …

Characterization of proteins purified from a beta(1) integrin affinity column: A novel ecm molecule and a muscle-specific integrin alpha subunit
Previous work on the distribution of the $\beta$1 integrins on skeletal muscle revealed that integrin occupied all of the major junctional regions on muscle. It also showed interesting, anomalous proteins on SDS-PAGE from $\beta$1 affinity purifications from muscle tissue. The possibility that …
