Producing Fungal Leather Material from Molds
Background Neurospora crassa is a type of filamentous fungus of the ascomycota typically found in bread. Rhizopus oryzae is another type of filamentous fungi of the mucoromycta that is typically found in soil and rotting vegetation. Neither of these fungi are toxic or pathogenic to humans, but have not been extensively studied for research purposes....

Inflammation Targeting Contrast Agent for MR Imaging
Atherosclerosis is characterized by the formation of fatty plaque deposits within the vasculature. With increasing plaque buildup, the affected arteries may harden and narrow leading to complications such as heart attack, stroke, aneurysm and other cardiovascular events. The complex nature of plaque makes lesion-targeting imaging, and subsequently early...

Tissue Microenvironment Microfluidic Devices
Recent advances in manufacturing techniques have enabled the development of platforms and devices to study tissues and cells within well defined 3D microenvironments. Current devices have many limitations, however, because they are primarily made with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). PDMS is soft, so it is difficult to create reliable fluid connections...

Self-Assembly Method for Designing Lattices for Metamaterials
The ability to create nano- and meso-scopic structures with precise geometry is of immense interest and value in nanotechnology. Self-assembly with building blocks that encode the details of the structure is highly promising, but difficult to realize because of kinetic traps and unwanted byproducts. Although possible, it often requires painstaking trial-and-error...

Three-Dimensional Protein Nanostructures
­Proteins are remarkable molecules for use in both biological applications and as components of advanced functional materials. While proteins have been used in nanotechnology to yield highly symmetric assemblies such as cages, fibers or sheets, as of now, it is not possible to use them to create arbitrarily complex nanoassemblies. Unlike DNA, proteins...
