Hand and face somatotopy shown using MRI-safe vibrotactile stimulation with a novel soft pneumatic actuator (SPA)-skin interface

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar

The exact somatotopy of the human facial representation in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) remains de-bated. One reason that progress has been hampered is due to the methodological challenge of how to apply automated vibrotactile stimuli to face area ...

Photodynamic treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection using indium phosphide quantum dots

Francesco Stellacci, Inyoung Yonah Lee

Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose an impending threat to humanity, as the evolution of MDR bacteria outpaces the development of effective antibiotics. In this work, we use indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) to treat infect ...

In-vitro and in-silico characterization of zein fiber incorporating cuminaldehyde

Niloufar Sharif

The zein solutions containing different concentrations of cuminaldehyde (5%, 10%, and 20%, w/w) were electrospun. The morphology and average diameter of fibers were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and the optimized fiber (20% cuminaldehyde) was c ...
