Development of an In-Vitro Model to Study the Effect of Shear and Biomaterial on Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Release by Blood Neutrophils and HL-60 Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-10)Cardiovascular biomaterials are essential for the support of damaged or diseased cardiovascular tissue and structures. Their applications include stents, heart valves, vascular grafts, and pacemakers. The success of these ... -
Development of In Vitro Biocompatibility Models of the Ocular Surface
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-30)Over 120 million individuals wear contact lenses (CLs) worldwide and compared to non CL wearers, they exhibit a higher risks of eye infection and ocular inflammatory events. As CLs are evolving towards becoming diagnostic ... -
Model Development for Corneal Inflammation and Biocompatibility
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-25)The ocular surface presents a complex environment where the corneal epithelium has to interact with the tear film, the blink, and the many proteins, lipids, and signaling molecules that exist. As a contact lens is placed ...
