Journal ArticleDOI

The national lung screening trial: Overview and study design

Constantine A. Gatsonis, +1336 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) is a randomized multicenter study comparing low-dose helical computed tomography with chest radiography in the screening of older current and former heavy smokers for early detection of lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aligned neurite outgrowth and directed cell migration in self-assembled monodomain gels.

TL;DR: The bioactive and macroscopically aligned scaffold investigated here and similar variants can potentially be tailored for use in neural tissue regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

A bioengineered peripheral nerve construct using aligned peptide amphiphile nanofibers

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that Schwann cells are able to adhere to and proliferate in aligned PA gels, with greater efficacy in bioactive PAs compared to the backbone-PA alone and indicate that PA nanofibers may represent a promising biomaterial for use in bioengineered peripheral nerve repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploration of the nanomedicine-design space with high-throughput screening and machine learning

TL;DR: A methodology combining high-throughput nanoparticle synthesis and machine learning can be used to efficiently explore structure–activity relationships for nanomedicines, as shown by spherical nucleic acids functioning as cancer-vaccine candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrostatic Control of Bioactivity

TL;DR: The inclusion of charged amino acids in the peptide amphiphiles disrupted the tendency to bundle and led to significantly enhanced neurite outgrowth.
