There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"Bioluminescent Tracking of hMSCs for Bone Tissue Regeneration"
Bioluminescent imaging allows for non-invasive, longitudinal tracking of hMSCs delivered in vivo is a strategy that can be used to screen cell delivery vehicles for application in critically-sized bone defect therapies.

"The Mechanical and Structural Effects of HIV-1 Proteins and AZT on Murine Carotid Arteries"
While the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has increased the life expectancy of HIV patients, a new complication has emerged: higher incidence rate of early onset cardiovascular disease. Therefore the objective of my work is to investigate the effects of HIV proteins and the antiretroval drug AZT, on the mechanics and microstructure of murine blood vessels.
