This research investigates why cancer rarely metastasizes to the heart using a microfluidic organ-on-chip model. By comparing cancer cell migration across tissues, it finds reduced spread in the presence of heart tissue, potentially due to…
2025
This research reframes standardized sports images as functional identity documents, showing how athlete portraits in media resemble passport-style photography and encode biometric and national data. Tracing their origins to 19th-century portraiture…
2025
This research develops bioinspired surgical adhesives based on freshwater mussel proteins that bond effectively in wet environments. By analyzing nanoscale fibrous structures using electron microscopy, it aims to overcome limitations of current…
2025
This research improves hydrogen production by optimizing the pore structure of catalysts used in water electrolysis. Using X-ray imaging and modeling, it identifies how nanoscale pore size and distribution affect water interaction and efficiency.…
2025
This research shows that graded written reflections in work-integrated learning lead students to censor their experiences, limiting learning. Interviews reveal that meaningful reflection occurs through informal conversations and relationships.…

This research shows that breast luminal cells depend on the amino acid glutamine for growth, unlike basal cells. By removing glutamine, luminal cell growth stops, suggesting a metabolic vulnerability. These findings indicate that targeting nutrient…

This research develops a gene-engineered safety switch for stem cell-derived heart cell transplants to prevent arrhythmias. The drug-activated mechanism allows selective control of transplanted cells during early integration. This approach aims to…

This research proposes a model-based dermatopharmacokinetic approach using tape stripping to assess bioequivalence of topical drugs. It offers a faster, less invasive alternative to clinical trials, accurately estimating drug absorption and…
