Ocular surface applications of Descemet's membrane
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Limbal stem cell (LSC) deficiency is a blinding disease that accounts for an estimated 15-20% of corneal blindness worldwide. LSC deficiency is caused by e...
Collaborative Research: The Lake Superior Basin: Natural Geomorphic Experiment, Deepwater-Terminating Ice Stream, and Isostatically Adjusting Rift
Glaciers, lakes, rivers, and the solid Earth interact to reshape the surface environment. This applies to the Lake Superior Basin, a basin that formed as a rift in Earth's cru...
GEM: Resolving the Unique Characteristics of Substorms that Precede Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) Events
A Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) is a latitudinally narrow and longitudinally elongated optical emission that appears in the night sky before midnight, equato...
Collaborative Research: Towards designing optimal learning procedures via precise medium-dimensional asymptotic analysis
In the past decade, data science and artificial intelligence (AI) have successfully addressed some of the most important scientific and engineering challenges faced in various doma...
A randomised feasibility study to evaluate home-based personalised virtual reality physiotherapy rehabilitation compared to usual care in the treatment of pain for people with knee osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major public health problem causing chronic pain and impaired physical functioning. As there is no cure, treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve...
Conference: Advanced Air Mobility: Will Law Lift or Ground a New Era of Human Transportation?
A new era of human mobility is on the horizon as investment pours into transformative airborne technologies referred to as advanced air mobility (AAM)—the local, on-demand movement...
RUI: Clock Transitions, Coherence and Quantum Dynamics in Molecular Nanomagnets
Non-Technical Abstract:The burgeoning field of quantum computation and quantum information relies on the ability to control the quantum states of qubits, the physical systems used...
Mechanisms of disordered citrate and oxalate excretion in nephrolithiasis
Project Abstract Kidney stones are a major cause of morbidity and account for $11 billion in health care spending in the U.S. Low urine citrate and high urine oxalate both increase...
Type I interferon Impacts Treatment Response in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common multisystem inflammatory condition. Delay in effective treatment results in increased morbidity and mortality, and a heavy economic burden. Cu...
