But the imaging technique can give rise to multiplicative speckle noise that hurts essential morphological features. My talk is about developing a learning-based method for retinal OCT denoising.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker #2<\/strong>: J. William Tierney, PhD CandidateDepartment of Biomedical Engineering<br \/>\n<strong>RiP #2 Title:<\/strong> MK2 Inhibitory Nano-Polyplexes Inhibit Vascular Graft Failure by Blocking Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype Switch<\/p>\n<p><strong>RIP #2 Description:<\/strong> Saphenous vein grafts used in patients with coronary or peripheral artery disease have a high rate of failure associated with intimal hyperplasia (IH). One characteristic of IH is the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within the graft undergo a contractile-to-synthetic phenotype switch, leading to increased proliferation, migration, and neointima formation that ultimately results in graft failure. In this study we show that MAPK\u2013activated protein kinase 2 inhibitory peptide nanopolyplexes (MK2i-NPs) delivered ex vivo during surgery mitigate IH in vein grafts by blocking VSMC phenotype switch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VISE Research In Progress (RiP) Date:\u00a0Thursday, July 2, 2020 Time:\u00a0Noon \u2013 room admittance, 12:05pm remarks, 12:10pm start Speaker #1:Dewei Hu, PhD Candidate, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science RiP #1 Title: Retinal OCT Denoising RIP #1 Description: Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful cross-sectional visualization tool with vast application in ophthalmic diagnosis&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":670,"featured_media":8370,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[62,41,183,231,563,30],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/vu-URL\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/193\/2020\/07\/19170724\/ViSE_07-16-2020.jpg","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p98pzF-2aX","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8367"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/670"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8367"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8375,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8367\/revisions\/8375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
