    <p class="c6"><span>We initially contacted Dr. Dalton to get his opinion on our first draft design of the patch. The main concern he had was with our proposed use of microneedles. Incorporating microneedles into the design can cause the rate of diffusion of the peptide out of the patch to decrease, meaning additional mechanisms such as pumps would need be used. More importantly, microneedles are meant for short term delivery and the continuous usage could cause irritation and inflammation. Microneedles are fragile, and there is a risk that they will break off and become imbedded in the skin if pressure is applied to the patch or the patch moves.</span>
+
    </p>
+
    <p class="c6"><span>We decided to NOT pursue our microneedle design because it defeats our goal to have a transdermal drug delivery system for long term use. We decided instead to design a transdermal reservoir-adhesive patch to deliver peptides into the body. Our conversation with Dr. Dalton became one of the major turning points in this project.</span>

We discussed the difficulty of creating devices incorporating living cells, because the cultures must be supplied with food and waste must be removed. This requires a method to transfer materials in and out of the system. We looked into this problem, and decided that we would design the patch to have pockets containing media that could be supplied to give the cells fresh media and dilute waste to extend the lifetime of the patch.</span>

    <p class="c6"><span class="c5">These concepts directly apply to our project as we are dealing with living organisms and must ensure they are are not deprived of nutrients, as this will result in lowered peptide production.

He suggested that gel media might be a better choice than liquid media in case of puncturing or storage issues, however, this would lead to diffusion being compromised. Overall, he said that the flux of materials should be the same in equilibrium. We decided on a liquid media because it is better for cell survival, and if the cells are not producing peptides, it doesn&rsquo;t matter how stable or durable the patch is.</span>
+
    </p>
+
    <h1 class="c6 c20" id="h.l6qmiuk6q9ga"><span class="c4 c5">He also approved our materials and recommended us to consider the solubility parameters of the materials to ensure compatibility of materials involved in the system ie. nothing will dissolve into each other when heated.</span></h1>
+
    <h1 class="c6 c20" id="h.w7vfj65w0poy"><span class="c4 c5">Lastly, he recommended us to use the process of thermoforming to manufacture mouse patches. The general idea is to make a mold made of wood or metal and form the materials into it with the use of heat. The molds are shaped as reservoirs or sinks. Once the material has been formed to the mold, media is added into the sinks. Heat will be applied once again with the covering material to seal everything together. We incorporated this suggestion into our mouse study.<br><br></span></h1>

(soybeans), or filtering of the BBi peptide by the Kidney due to its small size. Based on this feedback, an extensive literature search was performed to gain more insight into the possible immunological responses induced by BBI, and the underlying mechanisms. A possible solution that could be implemented to minimize the adverse effects of BBI is to introduce BBI to Astronauts at increasing concentration over time to monitor and minimize immunological responses. &nbsp;She suggested we consider yeast as an alternate chassis, but we decided to continue with Bacillus subtilis because of its robustness, ability to form spores, and the availability of protease knockout strains that allow for increased peptide secretion.</span></h1>

    <p class="c12 c13 c7"><span class="c15">From a Skype conference with Terry Johnson, it was clear that we would need to focus on how we would ensure our patch was safe for human use, as well as the issues of safe disposal and prevention of colonization of foreign planets by engineered cells. Based on Terry Johnson&rsquo;s feedback, we decided to implement double auxotrophies through the knockout of genes encoding the essential amino acids threonine</span><span class="c15 c11">&nbsp;</span><span class="c15">and tryptophan</span><span class="c15 c11">&nbsp;</span><span class="c15">in </span><span class="c15 c11">B. subtilis WB800. </span><span class="c15">This would ensure that if the bacteria was accidently released from the patch the bacteria will not survive on human skin or in the environment. Creation of these double auxotrophic strains is still in progress. In addition to biological controls, we also incorporated engineering controls in the design of the transdermal patch. The patch was designed to be flexible to reduce strain caused by movement, and designed to distribute applied pressure evenly over the surface to prevent the patch&rsquo;s seams from opening. The choice of a patch over an implant also increases safety because it is less invasive.</span>

    <p class="c12 c13 c7"><span class="c15">Based on Terry Johnson&rsquo;s feedback on safe disposal of our transdermal patch, </span><span class="c15 c14">we created a manual for our patch that outlines the safety controls, design features, and procedures for safe disposal. </span><span class="c15 c21">We also decided to incorporate mathematical modelling into our design at his suggestion to illustrate the pharmacokinetics of BBi and the patch to demonstrate its safety in comparison to alternate methods such as injections or implants.</span>

After the interview with Corinne Doll, it was clear that &nbsp;our transdermal patch was more applicable in space for providing radioprotection to Astronauts. She told us that it would be difficult to localize BBI to healthy cells without also affecting cancerous cells and conferring radiation protection to them, thereby reducing the effectiveness of treatments (we want double strand breaks to persist in the DNA of cancerous cells in order to kills them and reduce the adverse effects of the therapy on non-cancerous cells by enhancing DNA repair mechanisms). As well, she mentioned that each Cancer patient has a unique gene signature. Therefore, it will be difficult to make sure that our patch works for all Cancer patients. We confirmed based on these considerations that we should focus on designing our patch for applications in space travel rather than cancer treatment, and target our design for astronauts.</span></h1>

Although radiation damage is a concern in diagnostics and cancer treatments, most patients and staff are not at a significantly higher risk for radiation damage than the general population. We realized that focusing on cancer treatment as the main application of our product may not be useful, because few patients would benefit, and the dangers of radiation therapies were not as significant as we first believed. We decided following this tour to focus on space travel as the primary application of our product, although future medical applications would still be possible due to the modularity of the patch.</span></h1>

Currently, the maximum amount of time astronauts can spend in space is 6 months. Our product would increase this time and improve space missions. They confirmed for our clonogenic assays that small doses over a long period of time is not equivalent to a large dose all at once, and that cosmic radiation is not the same as gamma radiation to help us design our clonogenic and H2XA assays. When performing our clonogenics and H2AX &nbsp;assays, we irradiated the tissue cell lines, HCT116 for clonogenics and 1BR3 for H2AX, with gamma radiation. In the future, it will be useful to irradiate the tissue cells lines with cosmic radiation to gain a better understanding of BBI function in space. In addition, this interview further strengthened our decision to focus on space application of our transdermal patch rather than Cancer.</span></h1>

She confirmed with us that current methods of radiation protection are usually sufficient to protect patients and staff from any harm, and that cells are given time to recover naturally between doses in radiation therapy, so the risk of significant DNA damage is very low. In space, there is a much higher dosage of radiation and no rest period between periods of exposure, so cells have no chance to recover. </span><span>&nbsp;</span>
