Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
Biological engineering application: injectable nano/micro-scale scaffold based on spider silk This scaffold is designed to be injected locally into areas of cancellous bone that have undergone microarchitectural degradation to support bone regeneration in osteoporosis. Spider silk was chosen because it has high biocompatibility, good mechanical strength, and the ability to support cell adhesion and differentiation. On a nano and micro scale, this scaffold aims to mimic the structure of the bone extracellular matrix, improve trabecular connectivity, and support osteoblast activity without the need for macroscopic bone fractures. This is an additional regenerative therapy.
Week 2 HW: DNA Read, Write, & Edit
Part 1: Benchling & In-silico Gel Art I was made a random gel art. It took me one hour just to understand and make this lol :v I use several enzymes and this is it Part 2: Gel Art - Restriction Digests and Gel Electrophoresis I can’t perform this gel art in the lab because I don’t have the tools to make it, but it’s fun to see what I can make :)
