Tau seeding in a HEK cell model is influenced by aggregation inducers and cellular chaperones
DownloadFall 2022
The tau protein is a microtubule associated protein whose misfolding and subsequent aggregation have been associated with a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies. Studying tau in a lab setting has been crucial for the advancement of knowledge and technology used to treat people...

Studying Structure-Nanoaggregation Relations of Polyaromatic Molecules in the Bulk Oil Phase and at the Oil-Water Interface Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadSpring 2014
The detection, identification and characterization of early stage molecular association of polyaromatic molecules into nanoaggregates, where these nanoaggregates represent the first level of molecular clusters or building blocks are critical in areas such as design and fabrication of advanced 3-D...

Strategies for Design and Fabrication of Nanoplasmonic Metasurfaces with Extreme Geometric Features
DownloadFall 2022
The ever-increasing integration density of optical components has pushed engineers and physicists to rethink the fundamentals of bulky dielectric lensing systems. Metasurfaces, which are two-dimensional, periodic arrays of metallic (plasmonic) or dielectric scatterers that exhibit exotic...
