Biofabrication of Tissue Engineered Constructs

Ongoing
OCT imaging was assessed using a model scaffold-cell system consisting of a polysaccharide-based hydrogel seeded with human Jurkat cells. Four test systems were used: hydrogel seeded with live cells, hydrogel seeded with heat-shocked or fixed dead cells and hydrogel without any cells. Time series

Bioimaging

Completed
Imaging and image analysis are used ubiquitously in biological and biomedical research. One of the great advantages of imaging is its intuitive information content; much can be learned from just a glance at the data. On the other hand, these data generally contain a very large amount of untapped

Bioprocessing Laboratory

Ongoing
Current Capabilities Computer controlled liquid nitrogen biostorage system Two culture areas including 4 monitored CO2 incubators 2 Six-foot BSLII biosafety cabinets Measurements- cell count and concentration, STR typing, flow cytometry, cell volume size distribution, conventional transmission and

Cell Viability for Advanced Therapies

Ongoing
In the Biosystems and Biomaterials Division at NIST, we have established several technical programs to support the development and implementation of cell viability assays in advanced therapies. These programs address key needs in cell viability assay development including selection and development

Gene Delivery Systems

Ongoing
Viral Vectors Viral vectors are a critical tool for delivering DNA or RNA into patient’s cells. Common viral vectors for gene therapy include adenovirus, lentivirus, and adeno associated virus. Administration of viral vectors can occur in vivo or ex vivo , such as for adeno associated virus or

Orthogonal Measurements

Ongoing
Definitions: Orthogonal measurements: Measurements that use different physical principles to measure the same property of the same sample with the goal of minimizing method-specific biases and interferences. Complementary measurements: Measurements that corroborate each other to support the same

Synthetic Fecal Metabolite Calibrant Solution (RGTM 10212)

Ongoing
Metabolomics is an exciting and dynamic field in life sciences that harnesses cutting-edge technologies to identify and characterize small molecules, or metabolites, within cells, tissues, or organisms, collectively known as the metabolome. The wealth of evidence in the literature underscores the

Tissue Engineering

Ongoing
Tissue Engineering Measurands: Tissue engineering measurands are confusing to discuss and a charting method to improve communication is demonstrated. Measurement Assurance Strategies for Regenerative Medicine: Reliable methods for assessing product consistency and quality. Regenerative Medicine

Tissue Engineering Measurands

Ongoing
Making a Measurand Chart: A measurand chart can be created for any measurement by writing down all the measurands that occur during the measurement. The panels should not be procedural steps, such as “wash the sample with buffer” or “centrifuge the microfuge tubes”. Consider if the measurement has a
