George McNamara

George McNamara (now at University of Miami) report for Hua Yu and Richard Jove, City of Hope National Medical Center, on optical density dynamic range of several flatbed scanners.

Introduction To Nanoscopy Nano-Talk, George Mcnamara

George McNamara

T7-1 is the designation for the LMRG Nanoscopy session at ABRF in Orlando, FL, on March 20, 2012. The PDF file here is a draft of my presentation.

May not be very helpful since (1) would probably help to know what is in my head and each slide will [hopefully] prompt me to say, and (2) 10 minute talk so I am going to push the "next slide" button after saying very little.

Single Cell Wound Healing In Drosophila Melanogaster Embryos, John Rosasco

Summer Research

The role of contractile actin and myosin filaments filaments and the links they form with other proteins are vitally important to single cell wound healing, Which occurs in synctial Drosophila embryos as well as in vertebrates. Previous work by Wayne Rickoll has concentrated on determining the orientations of actin during wound healing during dorsal closure in Drosophila, a morphogenetic process in which epidermal cells extend to cover the embryonic gut during development. Transmission electron microscope analysis of cells undergoing dorsal closure revealed that actin is oriented parallel and perpendicular to the leading edge of the wound. Based on this …

Effective Non-Viral Delivery Of Sirna To Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells With Lipid-Substituted Polyethylenimines, Breanne Landry

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Use of small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a promising approach for AML treatment as the siRNA molecule can be designed to specifically target proteins that contribute to aberrant cell proliferation in this disease. However, a clinical-relevant means of delivering siRNA molecules must be developed, as the cellular delivery of siRNA is problematic. Here, we report amphiphilic carriers combining a cationic polymer (2 kDa polyethyleneimine, PEI2) with lipophilic moieties to facilitate intracellular delivery of siRNA to AML cell lines. Complete binding of siRNA by the designed carriers was achieved at a polymer:siRNA ratio of ~0.5 and led to siRNA/polymer complexes of …
