Brachiation of a polymer chain in the presence of a dynamic network
Published in , 2020
This paper is about the theoretical development of the brachiation model for dynamic polymer networks.
Dynamic light scattering microrheology for soft and living materials
Published in , 2020
This paper describes the set up and troubleshooting techniques for dynamic light scattering microrheology. Along with this paper, I also published a Python package that can be installed directly to contain all the relevant functions for analyzing the DLS instrument’s output. Documentation for this Python package as well as installation instructions can be found here.
Microrheology reveals simultaneous cell-mediated matrix stiffening and fluidization that underlie breast cancer invasion
Published in , 2021
This paper describes using dynamic light scattering microrheology to study forces exerted by breast cancer spheroids on their extracellular matrix.
Engineered Matrices Enable the Culture of Human Patient-Derived Intestinal Organoids
Published in , 2021
This paper describes the development of intestinal organoids in an engineered extracellular matrix material.
