This paper develops and validates an osteoporotic rabbit model for vertebral augmentation, enabling preclinical testing of novel injectable biomaterials.

This study investigates how VIP amphiphile micelle properties affect macrophage association, finding that VPAC targeting enhances binding while shape and size influence long-term association.

This study evaluates the cytoprotective and neuroinductive effects of three thiol-containing simple signaling molecules on neural stem cells exposed to oxidative stress.

This study develops M22-16 peptide-based micelles as a universal influenza vaccine, showing they induce strong immunological responses with a prime-booster regimen.

The paper introduces a generalized packing parameter to quantify the morphology of peptide amphiphile micelles, showing good agreement with previous models and highlighting shape and size dependence.

This study investigates how adjuvant delivery methods and nanoparticle charge affect the bioactivity of peptide amphiphile micelle vaccines, showing improved dendritic cell activation with electrostatic complexation.

This paper develops properly-polarized trophoblast stem cell-derived organoids that mimic the in vivo placental structure, enabling better modeling of placental development and maternal-fetal interactions.
