The MaDE program is accredited by theEAC Accreditation Commissionof ABET, Why MaDE? Students in the MaDE program constantly explore new pathways in manufacturing and design engineering. They develop the ability to integrate various design and manufacturing processes into an effective system for delivering value to the end user and/or marketplace. Objectives & Outcomes MaDE students learn and participate in all aspects of product realization, from product design to manufacturing technologies and operations. The program focuses on three key areas: • Process and product design • Manufacturing...

Just as people’s joints can get stiff as they age and make it harder for them to move around, hair follicle stem cells also get stiff, making it harder for them to grow hair, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study. But if the hair follicle’s stem cells are softened, they are more likely to produce hair, the scientists found. Northwestern scientists discovered how to soften up those stem cells to enable them to grow hair again. In a study in mice “They started to grow hair in 10 days,” said corresponding author Rui Yi, the Paul E. Steiner Research Professor of Pathology and professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “These are not new stem cells being generated. We are stimulating the existing stem cells to grow hair. A lot of times we still have stem cells, but they may not be able to generate the hair. “Our study demonstrates the possibility of stimulating hair growth by regulating cell mechanics. Because of the potential to deliver microRNA by nanoparticles directly into the skin, next we will test whether topically delivered miR-205 can stimulate hair growth first in mice. If successful, we will design experiments to test whether this microRNA can promote hair growth potentially in humans.” This study was conducted in genetically engineered mouse models. The scientists used advanced microscopy tools, including atomic force microscopy, to measure the stiffness and two-photon microscopy to monitor cell behaviors in live animals. Th...
