Mechanical Regulation of Angiogenesis in a Biomimetic Model
… contractile forces across cells, and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are all required for successful multicellular invasion. While actomyosin contractility is well studied in single cells on flat surfaces, less is understood about its regulation of collective cell migration, …

Kinetic Studies of the Sulfoxidation of Aryl Methyl Sulfides by Trans-Dioxoruthenium(VI) Porphyrin Complexes
… of an efficient, catalytically active, biomimetic model for cytochrome P-450 enzymes has been an area of intense research activity. Ruthenium porphyrin complexes have been the center of this research and have successfully been utilized, as catalysts, in major oxidation reactions such as …

Computational modeling of trabecular bone in lower extremity injuries due to impact
… finite element simulations on biofidelic and biomimetic morphological models of trabecular bone. The biofidelic model was developed using an image-based tetrahedral meshing approach on [mu]CT images, courteously provided by Niebur's group at Notre Dame University, of a human femural sample. …

Model and Characterization of a Passive Biomimetic Ankle for Lower Extremity Powered Exoskeleton
… able-bodied walking, current LEPE do not include biomimetic ankle designs and thus limit device performance. The objective of this thesis is to determine biomimetic ankle mechanics for a LEPE, thereby defining ankle design requirements that could reduce crutch loads and thus extend LEPE use. …

Biomimetic models for redox enzyme systems
… to mimic biological and enzymatic processes. Biomimetic modelling involves the synthesis of compounds containing similar functional groups to that of the specific enzyme’s protein and cofactor. Subsequent analysis using chemical, physical or computational techniques can be used to gain a …

Engineering Three Dimensional In Vitro Approaches to Study Cardiac Injury and Repair
… The presented work develops a series of in vitro models that recapitulate the focal fibrosis created by MI and develops tools to functionally characterize engineered heart tissue (EHT) models after injury. First, we create a 3D biomimetic model using human induced pluripotent stem cell …

Investigation of Dynamic Ultrasound Reception in Bat Biosonar Using a Biomimetic Pinna Model
… information? For this, a family of simplified biomimetic prototypes has been designed based on obliquely truncated cones manufactured from sheets of isobutyl rubber. These prototypes were augmented with biomimetic local shape features as well as with a parsimonious deformation mechanism based …
