Digital Image Speckle Correlation (DISC) Analysis for Subcutaneous Muscle Motion and Nerve Function
A technique that uses photographic analysis to calculate the magnitude and vector of muscle contraction to determine nerve function Background: Digital Image Speckle Correlation (DISC) has previously been used in animal studies of skin dynamics. In addition, the technology has been applied toward characterizing the biomechanical properties of human...

Crosslinked Thermoreversible Pluronic Hydrogels for Prosthetic Disc Nucleus Replacement
An easily injectable crosslinked hyaluronic acid-gelatin hydrogel that can be used as a prosthetic replacement for a spinal disc nucleus Background: When a spinal disc becomes damaged due to trauma or disease resulting in a disc herniation, it may become necessary to replace a natural spinal disc nucleus with a prosthesis. Such prostheses should preferably...

Nanocomposite HA-Clay Based Hydrogels
A hyaluronic acid-clay based hydrogel, with applications for cell culture scaffolds in tissue engineering. Background: An approach to tissue engineering includes mimicking the environment of tissue development _in vivo_; this includes the two components of a scaffold and a bioreactor. A scaffold is inserted into a bioreactor, which provides conditions...
