Wed., Nov. 15:  Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Research Seminar, 9:30 a.m., MJIS 1001 or via Zoom. Jane Grande-Allen, PhD, Department of Bioengineering, Rice University, will present “Biophysically Faithful Biomaterial Platforms for Cardiovascular and Intestinal Mechanobiology.”

Abstract: The material behavior of many biological tissues is due to their unique microstructural arrangements of fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, i.e., collagen and elastin, within the more amorphous matrix. The orientation of these fibers, and their segregation into discrete regions within the tissues, often gives rise to anisotropy and unique biological stress-strain behavior that enables the essential function of the tissues. Layered or segregated structuring allow hierarchical tissue organization in a manner designed to withstand external forces efficiently while protecting more delicate tissues and cells from damage. These structure-function relationships within biological tissues have been studied for decades but have not been widely translated into the creation of biomimetic scaffolds for use in tissue engineering and in vitro analyses of cell and tissue biology. The Grande-Allen research group has focused on integrating these structural and material characteristics into hydrogel and fibrous biomaterials using a range of fabrication techniques including molding, photolithography, electrospinning, and 3D printing. The majority of our investigations have addressed heart valve disease, which is widely prevalent in our society, with valve replacement or repair in almost 100,000 people in the United States and 275,000 people worldwide each year. More recently, we have translated our fabrication strategies to generate biomaterial platforms for investigating intestinal epithelial cell biology and enteric diseases.

Biography: Jane Grande-Allen is the Isabel Cameron Professor of Bioengineering at Rice University.  Her research group investigates the structure-function-environment relationship of soft connective tissues through bioengineering analyses of the extracellular matrix and cell mechanobiology, with a focus on cardiovascular and intestinal diseases, as described in >180 peer-reviewed publications.  Dr. Grande-Allen received a BA in Mathematics and Biology from Transylvania University in 1991 and a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington in 1998.  After postdoctoral research in Biomedical Engineering at the Cleveland Clinic, she joined Rice University in 2003 and was promoted to full professor in 2013. Dr. Grande-Allen is a Fellow of AIMBE, IAMBE, BMES, AAAS, AHA, and the Society for Experimental Mechanics. She served on the BMES Board of Directors and Executive Board from 2009-2022 and was BMES Secretary from 2020-2022. Dr. Grande-Allen also serves on the research committee for the American Heart Association.

Thurs., Nov. 16: BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Elnaz Ghajar-Rahimi, (C. Goergen, advisor), 2:30 p.m., MJIS 2001 and via Zoom. Title: Cardiovascular remodeling due to volume and pressure overload.

Advisory Committee: Craig J. Goergen, Chair; Vitaliy L. Rayz; Fiona R. Kolbinger; Kyoko Yoshida; Benjamin J. Landis

Abstract: Volume and pressure overload induce cardiac remodeling that may lead to heart failure when left untreated. Conditions such as pregnancy, lactation, and aortic stenosis are common etiologies of pressure and volume overload. However, sex- and female-specific variables and recovery are often overlooked in studies of cardiac overload. One of the most common modalities used to study cardiac function, 2D ultrasound, does not fully capture changes that may occur to heart shape and performance given that it is limited to a single imaging plane. To improve our understanding of pressure and volume overload we propose mouse models of lactation, chronic hypertension with pregnancy, and reversible transverse aortic constriction. We hypothesize that four-dimensional ultrasound will reveal the unique ways in which volume and pressure overload in the setting of pregnancy, lactation, and aortic constriction affect cardiac remodeling. Completion of this study will broaden the horizons of maternal cardiac health and lay the framework for future exploration of sex as a biological variable in CVD studies.

Thurs., Nov. 16:  Seminars in Hearing Research, 12:00 noon, Nelson Hall, Room 1215. Andrew Sivaprakasam, MD/PhD Trainee, Indiana University School of Medicine will present “Physiological and Perceptual Investigations of Place and Time Coding of Pitch Across Species: Preliminary Findings and Experimental Framework.”

Abstract:  An elusive empirical neural explanation for pitch perception has inspired several cochlear place and time-dependent hypotheses. Most experts debate the importance of tonotopy versus temporal coding, but it is still unclear how disruptions of these mechanisms are influenced by sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). SNHL is complex, but as a diagnosis, it groups variable degrees of inner and outer hair cell (IHC/OHC) and cochlear synapse (CS) damage which likely results in different patterns of pitch perception. With careful stimulus design and electrophysiological data harmonization between animal and human subjects, we are developing a framework to more directly link alterations in neural coding to pitch perceptual outcomes. I will present progress related to my NRSA F30 project (Title: Place and Time Processing of Pitch in the Context of Cochlear Dysfunction), which was funded thanks to the fruitful discussions and feedback sparked by this seminar two years ago. Key progress so far includes data collection in several chinchillas and humans with normal hearing status, involving iteratively refined electrophysiological (EFR, ACC) and behavioral correlates (F0DL) of place and time coding.

Fri., Nov. 17: BME PhD Preliminary Exam Announcement for Eugene S. Kim (T. Kinzer-Ursem, advisor). Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 1:00 p.m. in MRGN 121. Title: “The Role of CaMKIIβ-DrebrinA Binding in F-actin Stabilization in Dendritic Spines.”

Thesis Committee members: Dr. Tamara L. Kinzer-Ursem (Chair), Dr. Janice P. Evans, Dr. Fang Huang, Dr. Krishna Jayant

Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease often observed in elderly patients (≥65y/o). Symptoms of AD include, but are not limited to, loss of learning and memory function and epileptic seizures. Symptoms of AD are rooted in dysfunctional synapses between neurons, leading to impaired synaptic plasticity. Several genes are associated with AD. For example, mutations in the gene encoding drebrin (DBN) are strongly implicated in AD. Drebrin1A (DBN1A) is an actin-stabilizing protein prominently expressed in dendritic spines and helps maintain the cytoskeletal structure. The role of DBN1A in structure-based synaptic plasticity has not been described. Dendritic spines are protrusions on the postsynaptic neuron and are composed of a spine head and spine neck. Although spine head enlargement is commonly seen in synaptic plasticity, an understanding of how the regions between the spine neck, head-neck interface, and spine head are regulated and its relation to synaptic plasticity is lacking. A recent discovery of DBN1A and CaMKIIβ interactions near this interface has been reported. However, it is still unclear how CaMKIIβ-DBN1A increases F-actin bundling in dendritic spines. Based on the literature, we suspect that CaMKIIβ-DBN1A binding plays a significant role in structure-based synaptic plasticity. We hypothesize that during synaptic plasticity, structural remodeling of dendritic spines requires CaMKIIβ-DBN1A to stabilize the F-actin pool at the head-neck interface. To test this hypothesis, we propose to use super-resolution microscopy (SRM) and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations to provide comprehensive evidence that CaMKIIβ-DBN1A complex is critical F-actin bundling during synaptic plasticity in dendritic spines.

 

Fri., Nov. 17:  BME PhD Defense Announcement for Tyler Diorio (V. Rayz, advisor). Everyone is invited to attend the public presentation beginning at 3:30pm in MJIS 2001 and via Zoom. Title of Thesis Research: Brain Biomechanics: Multiscale Mechanical Changes in the Brain and its Constituents.

Thesis Committee: Dr. Vitaliy Rayz (Chair), Dr. Yunjie Tong, Dr. Deva Chan, and Dr. Eric Nauman (School of Biomedical Engineering, University of Cincinnati, OH)

Abstract: The brain is a dynamic tissue that is passively driven by a combination of the cardiac cycle, respiration, and slow wave oscillations. The function of the brain relies on its ability to maintain a normal homeostatic balance between its mechanical environment and metabolic demands, which can be greatly altered in the cases of neurodegeneration or traumatic brain injury. It has been a challenge in the field to quantify the dynamics of the macroscale tissue and cerebrospinal fluid flow in human subjects on a patient-specific basis over the many spatial and temporal scales that it relies upon. Non-invasive imaging tools like structural, functional, and dynamic MRI sequences provide modern researchers with an unprecedented view into the human brain. Our work leverages these sequences by developing novel, open-source pipelines to 1) quantify the biomechanical environment of the brain tissue over 133 functional brain regions, and 2) estimate real-time cerebrospinal fluid velocity from the noise on functional MRI by employing breathing regimens to enhance fluid motion. These pipelines provide a comprehensive view of the macroscale tissue and fluid motion in a given patient. Additionally, we sought to understand how the transmission of macroscale forces, in the context of traumatic brain injury, contribute to neuronal damage by 3) developing a digital twin to simulate 30-200 g-force loading of 2D neuronal cultures and observing the morphological and electrophysiological consequences of these impacts in vitro by our collaborators. Taken together, we believe these works are a steppingstone that will enable future researchers to deeply understand the mechanical contributions that underly clinical neurological outcomes and perhaps lead to the development of earlier diagnostics, which is of dire need in the case of neurodegenerative diseases.
