Measuring and Modeling Contractile Drying in Human Stratum Corneum
Xue Liu 1, Guy K. German 1
1Department of Biomedical Engineering, Binghamton University

This article describes a method of quantifying the dynamic drying behavior and mechanical properties of stratum corneum by measuring spatially resolved in-plane drying displacements of circular tissue samples adhered to an elastomer substrate. This technique can be used to measure how different chemical treatments alter drying and tissue mechanical properties.

1Department of Physics, Applied Physics and Astronomy, Binghamton University, 2Institute of Physics, University of Silesia

Using uniaxial strain combined with spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy, we visualize and manipulate the antiferromagnetic domain structure of Fe1+yTe, the parent compound of iron-based superconductors.

1Cell Biology and Gene Expression Section, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, 2Behavioral Neuroscience Program, Department of Psychology, Binghamton University, 3Department of Translational Neuroscience, Mercy Health Hauenstein Neuroscience Medical Center, Michigan State University

We describe how to successfully inject solutions into specific brain areas of rodents using a stereotaxic frame. This survival surgery is a well-established method used to mimic various aspects of Parkinson's disease.
