Brillouin microscopy uses this scattering of light from sound waves to measure sample stiffness in 3D at microscopic scale, without requiring physical access. This permits measurement of sample stiffness in otherwise inaccessible places such as the interior of cells.
Death due to haemorrhage (bleeding) is a preventable death. Yet 30-40% of people in a civilian setting die as a result of bleeding to death. In a military setting 90% of casualties with potentially survivable injuries die due to haemorrhage.
Wound healing is a dynamic process requiring a coordinated response to repair the damage. The extracellular matrix assists in providing an interconnected network contributing to both the biochemical and biophysical cues to bring about biological responses in cells/tissues.
AIBN's Dr Nasim Amiralian is leading a project on developing a new generation of sustainable composite materials designed specifically for electric vehicles.
