(2022-03-30)Department: OtherSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive disease, characterized by a signature “tumor recurrence” during treatment, wherein after initial favorable response, tumors re-establish themselves and no longer respond ...
-
(2016-04-15)Department: Biomedical EngineeringTissue engineering promises to solve the ever-increasing organ donor shortage, as well as to provide personalized and customized cures for numerous life-threatening diseases and organ/tissue failures. While significant ...
-
(2018-09-21)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyAntibodies are a key component of the human immune response to infectious disease. The best anti-viral antibody response is one that is potent and broad, covering a large number of the many diverse viral variants. ...
-
(2018-06-26)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceRenewable energy from wind and solar are no longer solely motivated by their environmental benefits but are now also economically competitive. Batteries are a key component in both the renewable grid infrastructure and ...
-
(2021-12-01)Department: Chemical EngineeringThe development of cancer occurs when immunosuppression inhibits the naturally occurring process through which the immune system recognizes and eliminates cancer cells (i.e. the cancer-immunity-cycle). While clinically ...
-
(2016-12-21)Department: PhysicsEngineering light-matter interaction at the nanoscale has the promise to enable technological advances in a wide range of technological applications, including biomolecular sensing, communication, quantum optics, displays, ...
-
(2023-03-13)Department: Biomedical EngineeringImmune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer treatment and has led to complete and durable responses, but only for a minority of patients. Resistance to ICB can largely be attributed to insufficient number ...
-
(2020-06-12)Department: Biomedical EngineeringTissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) patrol non-lymphoid organs and provide superior protection against pathogens that commonly infect mucosal and barrier tissues, such as the lungs, intestine, liver, and skin. At these ...
-
(2022-03-25)Department: Biomedical EngineeringTraditional approaches to cancer vaccines elicit weak CD8+ T cell responses and have largely failed to meet clinical expectations. This is in part due to inefficient antigen cross-presentation, inappropriate selection of ...
-
(2008-02-22)Department: Chemical EngineeringIn this dissertation we describe a strategy to molecularly optimize the cathode side of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. This new cathode consists of a porous gold membrane with pores that function as gas diffusion ...
-
(2017-03-31)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceResearchers discovered the existence of non-coding RNA while unraveling the secrets of the human genome. Non-coding RNA molecules are never translated into proteins, yet they are highly abundant and serve critical functions ...
-
(2017-04-01)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials SciencePorous silicon, a nanostructured material formed by electrochemical etching of a silicon substrate, is an ideal candidate for constructing optical biosensors due to its large internal surface area, straightforward fabrication, ...
