Cardiac Organogenesis: 3D Bioscaffolds, Bioenergetics and Regeneration
Each year the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) reports an increase in patients requiring an organ transplant without an increase in available donor organs, leading to a transplant gap that continues to widen. Over 70% of donor hearts are deemed unsuitable for transplantation …

Rapid 3-D laser microprinting of bioscaffolds and patterning of proteins
Tissue engineers have been developing biological substitutes to regenerate or replace damaged tissue. Tissues contain both exquisite microarchitectures and chemical cues to support cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. The majority of tissue engineering strategies use porous scaffolds …

ALLOGRAFT DERIVED BIOSCAFFOLDS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING OF THE MENISCUS: AN IN VIVO OVINE STUDY AND THE EFFECT OF HYPOXIC CULTURE ON SEEDED MENISCUS CONSTRUCTS
The meniscus is a fibrocartilagenous wedge shaped semilunar tissue that plays an important role in knee joint function and stability. The structure of the meniscus is integral to its function as it provides protection and cushion to the knee joint. Irreparable meniscus tears and meniscus …

STEP-enabled Force Measurement Platform of Single Migratory Cells
… in scaffold design. In this thesis two unique bioscaffolds are demonstrated for the measurement of group cell migration for wound closure and single cell contractility force for the study of force modulation. The wound healing assay bridges the gap between confluent reservoirs of NIH3T3 …
