Ann Biomed Eng. 2008 Jul 9; Authors: Hendee WR, Cleary K, Ehman RL, Fullerton GD, Grundfest WS, Haller J, Kelley C, Meyer AE, Murphy RF, Phillips W, Torchilin VP The fifth Bioengineering and Imaging Research Opportunities Workshop (BIROW V) was held on January 18-19, 2008. As with previous BIROW meetings, the purpose of BIROW V was to identify and characterize research and engineering opportunities in biomedical engineering and imaging. The topic of this BIROW meeting was Imaging and Characterizing Structure and Function in Native and Engineered Tissues. Under this topic, four areas were explored in depth: (1) Heterogeneous single-cell measurements and their integration into tissue and organism models; (2) Functional, molecular, and structural imaging of engineered tissue in vitro and in vivo; (3) New technologies for characterizing cells and tissues in situ; (4) Imaging for targeted cell, gene, and drug delivery.

The following is excerpted from a recent edition of Value Investor Insight . With its 32% operating margins, 36% return on equity and annual earnings per share growth of 40% over the past five years, American Oriental Bioengineering (AOB) might be expected to be riding a wave of investor enthusiasm. Instead, at a recent $9.70, its shares (net of cash) trade at only 10x this year’s estimated earnings. That’s less than half the multiple of the typical Nasdaq stock. Complete Story » ...

Acne is a human disease of the sebaceous hair follicle. Unlike humans, most animals produce little or no triglycerides in hair follicles to harbor Propionibacterium acnes a fact that has encumbered the development of novel treatments for acne lesions. Although genetic mutant mice with acne-like skins have been used for screening anti-acne drugs, the mice generally have deficits in immune system that turns out to be inappropriate to generate antibodies for developing acne vaccines. Here, we employed a Bioengineering approach using a tissue chamber integrated with a dermis-based cell-trapped system (DBCTS) to mimic the in vivo microenvironment of acne lesions. Human sebocyte cell lines were grown in DBCTS as a scaffold and inserted into a perforated tissue chamber. After implantation of a tissue chamber bearing human sebocytes into ICR mice, P. acnes or PBS was injected into a tissue chamber to induce host immune response. Infiltrated cells such as neutrophils and macrophages were detectable in tissue chamber fluids. In addition, a proinflammatory cytokine macrophage-inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) was elevated after P. acnes injection. In tissue chamber fluids, 13 proteins including secreted proteins and cell matrix derived from mouse, human cells or P. acnes were identified by proteomics using isotope-coded protein label (ICPL) coupled to nano-LC-MS analysis. After P. acnes infection, four proteins including fibrinogen, [alpha] polypep ...

Hey guys. I'm interested in possibly going to med school after college. However, I'm really stressed over what to major in. Bioengineering sounds really interested but I heard it is really intense and hard to maintain good grades in. Since med school is all about GPA, would it be more beneficial to major in something easier rather than Bioengineering? Also, I really want to go to UCSD but its bioE program is so strong I doubt i'll get in. Would it be more beneficial to apply as biochem to have a higher chance? Thanks! ...
