Peptide-based nanomaterials have been utilized for various applications from regenerative medicine to electronics since they provide several advantages including easy synthesis methods, numerous routes for functionalization and biomimicry of secondary structures of proteins which leads to design of self-assembling peptide molecules to form nanostructures. Microscopic characterization at nanosca...

Nature frequently utilizes opposing factors to create a stable activator gradient to robustly control pattern formation. This study employs a biomimicry approach, by delivery of both angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors from spatially restricted zones of a synthetic polymer to achieve temporally stable and spatially restricted angiogenic zones in vivo. The simultaneous release of the two spati...

An artificial spur-and-groove (SAG) reef formation designed to perform as a submerged breakwater was studied. Not only do natural SAG reefs effectively attenuate waves, but they also create important circulation within the system that encourages success of corals and overall ecosystem. Modular components were developed imported into CFD software FLOW-3D® HYDRO test wave-structure interaction wh...
