Nurmikko Lab - Widespread functional opsin transduction in the rat cortex via convection-enhanced delivery optimized for horizontal spread

Arto Nurmikko and PhD student Zeyang Yu recently published their efforts to optimize the protocol for convection-enhanced delivery (CED) of virus for optogenetic transduction of the rat cortex in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods.

Coulombe Lab - IGF1 and NRG1 Enhance Proliferation, Metabolic Maturity, and the Force-Frequency Response in hESC-Derived Engineered Cardiac Tissues

Inspired by utero-like biochemical conditions, Kareen Coulombe and PhD student Cassady Rupert investigated the potential of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and neuregulin-1B (NRG1), two growth factors crucial to cardiac development in vivo , to promote the maturation of human embryonic stem cell- (hESC-) derived cardiomyocytes ex vivo.

Crisco Lab - Clinical Evaluations of Thumb and Wrist Morbidities

Prof. Trey Crisco recently contributed to three articles evaluating clinical outcomes for thumb and wrist arthritis and a surgical technique to treat thumb injuries:

Gil, J.A., Chambers, A., Shah, K.N., Crisco, J.J., Got, C. and Akelman, E., 2017. A Biomechanical Evaluation of a 2-Suture Anchor Repair Technique for Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries. HAND, p.1558944717725380.
