Tuning the temperature range of superelastic Ni-Ti alloys for elastocaloric cooling via thermal processing (open access)

Tuning the temperature range of superelastic Ni-Ti alloys for elastocaloric cooling via thermal processing

Article describes how caloric cooling enlisting solid-state refrigerants is potentially a promising eco-friendly alternative to conventional cooling based on vapor compression. Here, the authors have explored tuning the operation temperature range of Ni50.8Ti49.2 for elastocaloric cooling. In particular, they have studied the effect of thermal treatments (a.k.a. aging) on the transformation temperature, superelasticity, and elastocaloric effects of Ni50.8Ti49.2 shape memory alloy tubes.

Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research (open access)

Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research

Data management plan for the grant, "Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research." This study will use the genome-edited human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) with NOTCH1 knockout to recapitulate the genetic variants of NOTCH1 mutation in the Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). It will use advances in the vascularized cardiac organoid directly differentiated from hiPSCs to replay the development and function of cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and other cardiac cells in a defined 3D cell culture model by stencil-based micropatterning. It will elucidate the pathogenesis of cardiovascular underdevelopment and dysfunction found in HLHS with NOTCH1 mutation via the NOTCHDELTA/JAG ligand-receptor binding and multicellular crosstalk by single-cell RNA-seq and proteomics analysis.

Optic-nerve-head (ONH) Chips for Glaucomatous Neurodegeneration (open access)

Optic-nerve-head (ONH) Chips for Glaucomatous Neurodegeneration

Data management plan for the grant, "Optic-nerve-head (ONH) Chips for Glaucomatous Neurodegeneration." The most prominent causative risk factor of glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which could deform the optic nerve head (ONH) and cause glaucomatous neurodegeneration. However, current glaucoma therapies that focus on lowering IOP do not stop vision loss effectively, and thus there is a pressing need to understand the mechanisms underlying glaucoma pathogenesis. In this project, we will develop a biomimetic 3-D ONH-on-a-chip system that closely mimics the key anatomical and pathophysiological characteristics of the native ONH to study astrocytic mechanisms of glaucoma pathogenesis, a missing link to develop efficacious therapies.
