Mechanical response of cardiac microtissues to acute localized injury
(American Physiological Society, 2022-10-01)After a myocardial infarction (MI), the heart undergoes changes including local remodeling that can lead to regional abnormalities in mechanical and electrical properties, ultimately increasing the risk of arrhythmias and ... -
Comparison of BinaxNOW and SARS-CoV-2 qRT-PCR detection of the omicron variant from matched anterior nares swabs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-12-21)The COVID-19 pandemic has increased use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). In winter 2021 to 2022, the Omicron variant surge made it apparent that although RDTs are less sensitive than quantitative reverse transcription-PCR ... -
Earlier Proteoglycan Turnover Promotes Higher Efficiency Matrix Remodeling in MRL/MpJ Tendons
(Wiley, 2023-02-10)While most mammalian tissue regeneration is limited, the Murphy Roths Large (MRL/MpJ) mouse has been identified to regenerate several tissues, including tendon. Recent studies have indicated that this regenerative response ... -
Inner hair cell stereocilia displacement in response to focal stimulation of the basilar membrane in the ex vivo gerbil cochlea
(Elsevier BV, 2021-12)The inner hair cells in the mammalian cochlea transduce mechanical signals to electrical signals that provide input to the auditory nerve. The spatial-temporal displacement of the inner hair cell stereocilia (IHCsc) relative ... -
Hippocampal cells segregate positive and negative engrams
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-09-26)The hippocampus is involved in processing a variety of mnemonic computations specifically the spatiotemporal components and emotional dimensions of contextual memory. Recent studies have demonstrated cellular heterogeneity ... -
Low concentration DNA extraction and recovery using a silica solid phase
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-05-05)DNA extraction from clinical samples is commonly achieved with a silica solid phase extraction column in the presence of a chaotrope. Versions of these protocols have been adapted for point of care (POC) diagnostic devices ... -
Method for the elucidation of LAMP products captured on lateral flow strips in a point of care test for HPV 16
(2020-09)Loop-mediated amplification (LAMP) is an isothermal amplification technique favored in diagnostics and point-of-care work due to its high sensitivity and ability to run in isothermal conditions. In addition, a visual readout ...
