[cid:image001.jpg@01DA026C.420AF9B0] BME WEEKLY ROUNDTABLE WEEK OF October 16, 2023 INTERIM HEAD'S NOTE Dear all, sorry for the delay. After I came back from the BMES annual conference. I flew to another conference on Saturday afternoon. I have just returned to Indianapolis. * Many of us had a wonderful experience at the BMES annual conference. It was so good to see our faculty, staff, and students. It was so good to meet our alumni and old colleagues at the conference, and particularly, at the school reception. I took one picture when helping set up the booth. Our staff worked tirelessly at the conference, at the booth, and at the reception. I want to send my special thanks to them. The picture is below. * [cid:image002.jpg@01DA026D.95455250] * I went to the Councils of Chairs meeting at the BMES. Here is a short summary about the agenda: 1) the summary of a BME departments survey and 2) an update on AHPA-H. Let me know if you want a more detailed update. I clearly see the excitement among the BME research community on the upcoming AHPA-H opportunities. Some of us may have gotten included onto these large teams. Please let me know how the department can help. The IUPUI integration is going well. * I am pleased to inform you that Dr. Rachel Surowiec has decided to join the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering as an Assistant Professor with a tenure-track appointment. She told me that she is enthusiastic about joining the School, and look forward to collaborating with our faculty and students, supporting the School's objectives, continuing to engage in mentoring and teaching, and having a long and productive research career at Purdue. * I am also pleased to inform you (some of you may have known) that Dr. Sharon Miller, already one of us as a non-tenure faculty member in our school, has accepted the position of Assistant Vice Provost for Purdue University in Indianapolis. That being said, she will continue teaching in Indianapolis this semester and co-teach second semester capstone in spring 2024. She, as well as Dr. Steve Higbee and others, have helped us work out our suggestions and proposals on academic programs for Purdue University - Indy. The Purdue Life and Health Sciences Summit will take place today, Oct. 19, from 1-5 p.m. in the Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship, Room 121. The 6 finalists were announced in Purdue Today a couple days ago. * Unlocking a Blueprint for Health: The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) as a Disease Safeguard * Leveraging Cross-species Digital Twins for Modeling Cancer Progression and Outcome * Synaptic Ultra-Structure and Disease (SUSD) * Using Across-phyla Methods to Increase Genomic Prediction Accuracy to Improve Health and Food Security * Data-Driven Cross-Species Auditory Neuroscience for Accessible Mechanistic Precision Audiology * Role of Environmental Contaminant Exposure in the Health Inequities of Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) in Rural Populations Regarding your current involvement, it is still interesting to attend the summit to learn about these finalist teams.

Nikola M. Juhasz, PhD, Global Technical Director for Sustainability, Sun Chemical Corporation, will present "The Urgent Journey to Circularity and Sustainability." Abstract: Achieving a Circular and Sustainable Economy is increasingly urgent to minimize and mitigate devastating effects on the planet associated with continuing business as usual. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which popularized the concept, a Circular Economy is one that designs out waste and pollution, that keeps products and materials in use, and that regenerates natural systems. These principles apply in the context of manufactured products, as well as to the processes and operations behind those products. This presentation will consider various programs, tools and initiatives helping minimize environmental impact and delivering circular and sustainable products and manufacturing within Sun Chemical, the global leader for pigments, inks, coatings, and advanced materials. A particular focus will be on circular packaging applications that are enabled by Sun Chemical's technologies. Bio: Dr. Nikola Juhasz is the Global Technical Director for Sustainability at Sun Chemical, where she engages with internal and external stakeholders to formulate sustainability-driven technical strategies and oversees the corresponding innovation and product development programs across all of Sun Chemical's pigments, inks, coatings, and adhesives product lines and technology platforms. She represents Sun Chemical at key global cross-industry organizations focused on sustainability and the future of packaging, including the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC), and the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), among others. Dr. Juhasz joined Sun Chemical in 2018 as Global Director, Liquid Ink Technology. In this role she evolved the packaging ink applications and new product development portfolio to encompass numerous sustainability initiatives. Prior to joining Sun Chemical, Dr. Juhasz spent over 20 years in various positions of R&D leadership in the diversified chemicals, polymers, and materials industry. She holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a BS in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University. Wed., Oct. 18: BME Research Seminar Series, 9:30 a.m., MJIS 1001 or via Zoom. Alan Grodzinsky, PhD, Departments of Biological, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Center for Biomedical Engineering, MIT, will present "Human Osteochondral-Synovium Co-Culture Model of Cartilage Degradation & Therapeutic Intervention: Relevance to Post-Traumatic OA on Earth and in Space." Abstract: We established a human osteochondral-synovium microphysiological system incorporating a single impact mechanical load that emulates initial pathways and biomarker-release of post-traumatic osteoarthritis-like disease; we tested the effects of anti-catabolic dexamethasone and pro-anabolic IGF-1 to ameliorate PTOA-like processes. In addition, we tested the effects of microgravity and radiation ± drugs on this system on the International Space Station. Overall, 88 human distal femurs (Collins Grade 0-2) from 55 donors (M/F age 23-83) were obtained. We quantified release of inflammatory cytokines, cell viability, release of sGAG and ARGS-aggrecan and CTX-II collagen fragments, metabolomics/proteomics assays, and the response to Dex and IGF-1. Two Grade-0 knee-tissues were launched to the ISS on SpaceX-21 for 3-week experiments (M/31, F/47). Analyses showed release of inflammatory cytokines, mainly from synovium, on Earth and in Space, causing increases in release of sGAG and ARGS-aggrecan fragments, the earliest biomarkers of disease by 2-weeks in culture. Metabolites and peptide markers of inflammation were also increased. While Dex+IGF-1 decreased the release of sGAG and ARGS-aggrecan over-all, there was distinct donor-to-donor variability. Metabolomics showed increased oxidative stress and inflammation under spaceflight conditions; Dex+IGF-1 substantially reduced GAG release from one donor system in Space, but the second donor showed less response. Ongoing proteomic analyses focus on extent and kinetics of biomarker release, to aid in the timing and choice of therapeutics. Despite the increasing number and complexity of ongoing clinical trials for OA/PTOA therapeutics, the discovery and choice of drug(s) is only half the battle: the other half is delivery of drug(s) to the intended target(s). Most trials for knee OA/PTOA now involve intra-articularly injected drugs, but there is little or no evidence that injected drugs have reached their target tissues in the dose and duration needed. Does failure of such trials mean that drugs were not efficacious, or that potentially efficacious drugs never reached their intended target at the proper dose/duration due to drug delivery inadequacies?

Thurs., Oct. 19: Seminars in Hearing Research, 12:00 p.m. via Zoom. Aditi Gargeshwari, Doctoral Candidate, Auditory Electrophysiology Lab, SLHS will present "Influence of Visual Speech Cues on Auditory Subcortical and Cortical Responses in Normal and Impaired Ears."

These seminars are sponsored by Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. Abstract The human brain can integrate information from different sensory modalities to produce a unified representation of the external world. Temporally congruent auditory and visual stimulation facilitates multisensory perception and integration, allowing us to better process and understand the information presented to us, especially in the presence of background noise and for individuals with hearing difficulties. The influences of visual speech cues on behavioral speech perception are vastly studied. Functional magnetic resonance imaging and electrophysiological studies have mostly evaluated auditory cortical responses. Little is known about the influence of visual speech production cues on the auditory brainstem phase-locked ensemble responses in normal and individuals with sensorineural hearing loss. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated the effects of congruent- and incongruent-audiovisual (AV) speech on scalp-recorded brainstem frequency following response (FFR) and the cortical acoustic change complex (ACC). For the FFR, both phase locking to envelope periodicity (FFRENV) and to the temporal fine structure (FFRTFS) were evaluated. I will present our initial results showing that visual speech cues do influence evoked responses at both cortical and brainstem levels, albeit differently. These results appear to suggest that neural activity relevant to audio-visual integration may be already emerging at the brainstem level. Thus, these measures have the potential to be developed as clinical metrics for evaluation of audio-visual integration, and as measures to evaluate hearing-aid outcomes and prognosis.

An understanding of the dynamics of healthcare delivery can provide insights that further enhance the role that engineers play. The overall purpose of this course is to provide a "real world" overview of healthcare delivery in the United States (US). The topics initially covered include the major medical product segments, namely the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries. The structure of companies operating in these sectors along with the regulatory framework which governs them will be discussed. Health economic considerations, including product costs and reimbursement along with issues related to insurance coverage, will also be covered. Following a focused review of relevant physiology and pathophysiology, a series of critical medical conditions having the highest impact on the US healthcare system are discussed. These diseases include coronary artery disease, heart failure, diabetes, cancer, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, chronic kidney disease, stroke, arthritis, sepsis, and acute kidney injury. The final aspect of the course is a team project, in which an engineering solution is proposed to address an unmet clinical need for one of major conditions discussed.

[cid:image003.jpg@01D9FAB9.71DE0610] BME WEEKLY ROUNDTABLE WEEK OF October 9, 2023 OCTOBERBREAK! INTERIM HEAD'S NOTE To everyone, please enjoy your Octoberbreak. We have finally gotten some autumn weather. Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty as if nature had been saving up year for the grand finale. Did you go to the Feast of the Hunters' Moon? If you did, I hope you enjoyed some time off with family and friends. Sweater weather is better together. We are now getting together to go through the thick of the semester which has been crazy so far with the many events and activities in September. Now we are getting together to show our presence at BMES later this week. I want to send my special thanks to Vitaliy, Cindy, and Asem who have worked hard to get everything ready. Thanks in advance to Cindy, Sandy, Tammy, Asem, Darshini, Luke, and Siting for setting up our booth and staying at our booth during the reception on Wednesday. If you plan to attend the Reception on Wednesday, please stop by our booth during the reception (BMES Booth 800). Thank you for all of you who will serve at our booth during the conference. Travel safely, everyone. UPCOMING IMPORTANT DATES Week of October 9 Mon., Oct. 9 - Tues., Oct. 10: Our semi-annual air handling shutdown is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, October 10th. As a reminder: the entire building air handling system in MJIS will be turned off. ALL chemical hood activity, biosafety cabinet activity, autoclave work and activities in wet labs will need to STOP by 5 PM on Monday, October 9th. Any chemicals stored in the hoods will have to be sealed at that time. Signs will be posted on all hoods to remind users not to use the hoods Monday evening, and removed when the maintenance work is completed and normal operations can resume. Please plan ahead - DO NOT use chemicals in the lab areas that you would normally use in the hoods.

Kyung Sung, Chief of Cellular and Tissue Therapy Branch, Office of Cellular Therapy and Human Tissue, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, will present "Advanced analytical methods for Assessing the bioactivity of regenerative medicine cellular products." Abstract: Multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) have become popular sources for manufacturing regenerative medicine cellular products due to their ability to undergo lineage-specific differentiation. MSCs, on the other hand, are heterogeneous and responsive to their surroundings, resulting in distinct subpopulations of cells with potentially different properties required for product functional bioactivity. Because there are numerous biochemical and biomechanical factors that influence MSC function, developing reliable high-throughput assays that allow for the efficient exploration of large and complex parameters for evaluating cellular function is critical. Microphysiological systems offer a viable solution to this unmet need. This presentation will provide an overview of regenerative medicine cellular product regulation as well as easy-to-use, microscale technologies that improve throughput, relevance, and reliability. How such technologies could be used to evaluate the efficacy of regenerative medicine cellular products will also be discussed. Biography: Dr. Kyung Sung is the Chief of the Cellular and Tissue Therapies Branch in the Office of Cellular Therapy and Human Tissue at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In addition to overseeing regulatory science research programs, she is responsible for overseeing the regulatory review process for cell and tissue therapeutic products and medical devices. Her research team studies the effects of interactions between living cells and biomaterials by developing novel quantitative assays using a variety of biomedical engineering tools. The overarching goal is to understand how these interactions affect the production and characterization of regenerative medicine cellular products. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Before joining the FDA in 2015, she had experience working as a patent examiner in Biotechnology at the US Patent and Trademark Office. ~ BME Host: Young Kim ~ Zoom link: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/5593290378?pwd=eFBOZFlNTU50ZDA2S2gwcnpyOWIwUT09<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> Note: Students registered for the seminar are expected to attend in-person.

Research title: Ultrahigh-Resolution Imaging and Quantitative Analysis Through Brain Tissue with High Accuracy. Thesis Committee members: Fang Huang, Chair; Alexander A. Chubykin; Daniel M. Suter; Kevin J. Webb Abstract: 4Pi single-molecule localization microscopy (4Pi-SMLM) enables the revealing of ultrastructure by combining interferometric coherent fluorescence imaging and single-molecule localization. Current methods model the interferometric point spread function (PSF) by scanning in-vitro beads on coverslips to infer in-situ 3D location of single-molecule fluorophores in specimens. Although a resolution of sub-20-nm throughout the whole cell has been achieved, imaging tissue specimens was impeded by the heterogeneous aberration and scattering in tissue environment. Here, we introduce 4Pi in-situ PSF retrieval method (4Pi-INSPR), which allows 12-nm-resolution visualization and quantitative analysis through brain tissue with high accuracy. 4Pi-INSPR incorporates sample-induced aberrations, previously unattainable by conventional 4Pi-SMLM. 4Pi-INSPR also minimizes reconstruction artifacts from instrumental imperfections such as objective and imaging-quadrant misalignments. We demonstrate 4Pi-INSPR capabilities by revealing the ultrastructure of dendrites and dendritic spines in 50-μm mouse brain sections and quantifying their morphology changes and nanoscale molecular distribution. Together, 4Pi-INSPR provides potential in examining synaptic functions for brain development. Thurs., Oct. 12: BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Donghyun Yim (T. Kim, advisor). Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 12:00 pm in MJIS 2001. Title: Computational modeling of chemotactic cell migration enhanced with stress fiber dynamics. Advisory Committee: Taeyoon Kim, Chair; Adrian Buganza-Tepole; Daniel M. Suter; Qing Deng Abstract: Directional cell migration is the essential ability of many cells and occurs in the guidance of different types of cues, including substrate stiffness, surface topology, and chemoattractant gradient. In particular, when the external chemotactic stimuli are present, chemoattractant successively activates signaling pathways in the cell, followed by the nucleation and polymerization of actin filaments (F-actins). As a result, F-actin establishment and protrusion are biased at the sites with the maximal concentration of chemotactic cues, leading to migration toward chemoattractant. For the migration, formation of focal adhesions between the cell and an extracellular environment is necessary. Chemotaxis has been studied in various computational studies. However, to our knowledge, the computational model of chemotaxis considering the dynamics of F-actins and focal adhesions still lacks. To address this gap, we introduce a two-dimensional cell migration model comprising nucleus, membrane, F-actins, and underlying substrate. In this model, it is assumed that the elongation rate of an individual F-actin is enhanced by the local chemoattractant level in order to capture the dependence of the F-actin polymerization rate on the chemoattractant concentration. Repulsive forces act between F-actin and the membrane to simulate the membrane protrusion driven by elongating F-actins. F-actins are allowed to bind to substrate via focal adhesions. In preliminary results, it was observed that a cell located in the middle of a linear concentration gradient for chemoattractant protrudes and then migrates toward the region with higher concentration. We expect the current concept of the model will provide better understanding of F-actin-mediated chemotaxis.
