The Stiffness of Collagen Fibrils Influences Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Dennis P. McDaniel, Gordon A. Shaw, John T. Elliott, Kiran Bhadriraju, Curtis W. Meuse, Koo-Hyun Chung, Anne L. Plant
Cells receive signals from the extracellular matrix through receptor-dependent interactions, but they are also influenced by the mechanical properties of the matrix. While bulk properties of substrates have been shown to effect cell behavior, we show here

Surface-Plasmon-Resonance-Enhanced Cavity Ring-Down Detection

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
A C. Pipino, John T. Woodward IV, Curtis W. Meuse, Vitalii I. Silin
The cavity ring-down technique is used to probe the absolute optical response of the localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of a gold nanoparticle distribution to adsorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) from the gas phase

Osteoblast Cell Membrane Hybrid Bilayers for Studying Cell-Cell Interactions

September 30, 2003
Author(s)
John T. Elliott, Alessandro Tona, John T. Woodward IV, Curtis W. Meuse, H M. Elgendy, Anne L. Plant
Osteopath-like cells were grown on a surface that presents cell membrane components to the cells in culture. The culture surface was a bilayer formed by the interaction of osteoblast plasma membrane vesicles with an alkanethiol monolayer. We examined the

Biomimetic Membranes on Metal Supports

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
John T. Elliott, Curtis W. Meuse, Vitalii I. Silin, Susan T. Krueger, John T. Woodward IV, T Petralli-Mallow, Anne L. Plant
Biological membranes are complex and dynamic structures. The biological functions associated with membranes involve a number of different molecular species, and theories of how the molecular species are organized are still evolving. The fluid mosaic model

Isostructural Self-Assembled Monolayers, Part 1. Octadecyl 1-thiaoligo(ethylene oxides)

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
David J. Vanderah, Richard S. Gates, Vitalii I. Silin, D N. Zeiger, John T. Woodward IV, Curtis W. Meuse, Gintaras Valincius, B Nickel
The self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a series of octadecyl 1-thiaoligo(ethylene oxide)x disulfides {[S(CH 2CH 2O) xC 18H 37] 2}, where x = 4 to 8, were assembled on gold and characterized by reflection-adsorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS)

Helical, Disordered, and What that Means: Structural Characterization of a New Series of Methyl 1-Thiaoligo(Ethylene Oxide) Self-Assembled Monolayers

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
David J. Vanderah, J Arsenault, H La, Vitalii I. Silin, Curtis W. Meuse, Richard S. Gates
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a series of linear thiols containing a 1-thiaoligo(ethylene oxide) [TOEO] moiety, i.e., HS(CH2CH2O)xCH3, where x = 3 - 6, were prepared on polycrystalline gold (Au) and characterized by reflection adsorption infrared

Molecular Dynamics Study of Partial Monolayer Ordering of Chain Molecules

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Raymond D. Mountain, Joseph B. Hubbard, Curtis W. Meuse, V Simmons
We present the results of a molecular dynamics study of a partial monolayer of self-assembled octadecanethiol molecules. The correlations between various statistical measures of surface induced chain ordering are examined. These include the density profile

Raman and FTIR Spectroscopies of Fluorescein in Solutions

August 1, 2001
Author(s)
Lili Wang, A. E. Roitberg, Curtis W. Meuse, Adolfas K. Gaigalas
Raman and FTIR transform-infra red (FT-IR) spectroscopies of fluorescein in aqueous solutions have been investigated in the pH range from 9.1 to 5.4. At pH 9.1 fluorescein is in the dianion form. At pH 5.4, fluorescein is a mixture of monoanion (
