Examples of OCT C-scans from normal endometrium (top row) and high-risk precancerous endometrium (bottom row). The images show the OCT intensity C-scan (left), optical extinction coefficient map (middle), and scatterer shape factor map (right) from the highlighted regions. The high-risk precancerous endometrium displayed more complex low-intensity structures, reflecting irregular and dilated glands of varying sizes. In contrast to the normal endometrium, the precancerous tissue demonstrated markedly greater architectural irregularity and heterogeneity in the optical scattering maps. (Credit: Zhu Lab)

Jae Park, a doctoral student in the lab of Alexandra Rutz, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, has developed a unique, dynamic platform with electricity-conducting biomaterials in which stiffness can be modulated by applying voltage. Such a platform can help researchers learn more about the potential to use conducting polymers to study mechanobiology and to study the effect of stiff environments on cells, which play a role in fibrosis and some types of cancer.
