Impact of alginate encapsulation on myeloid leukemia cells. by Kyaw Htay.

“…Leukemia is a type of blood cancer characterized by a neoplastic proliferative expansion of hematopoietic stem cells, which grow in the bone marrow. Current leukemia studies using 2D culture flasks and in vivo animal models have not explained clearly yet how the interactions of cellular components in the bone marrow and their niches promote the growth of leukemic stem cells and thwart the chemotherapy. …”

A Novel Approach to Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures Utilizing a Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Traction and Stabilization Device by Oeding, Jacob F., Bockman, Sam, Chiu, Harriet, Hua, Cheyenne, Connor, James, Slocum, Alexander

“…Reduction is achieved by the surgeon pulling and manipulating the hand while looking at real-time X-rays, and frequently requires large forces to distract impacted fragments from the proximal bone. This study presents the design and preliminary testing of a multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) device capable of performing both distraction and reduction of fractured bone fragments using a traction splint mechanism with locking ball joints. …”
