Native functional brain circuits show different numbers of synapses (synaptic densities) in the cerebral cortex. Until now, different synaptic densities could not be studied in vitro using current cell culture methods for primary neurons. Herein, we presen ...

Cortical neurons, in their native state, are organized in six different cell layers; and the thickness of the cell layer ranges from 0.12 mm to 0.4 mm. The structure of cell layers plays an important role in neurodegenerative diseases or corticogenesis. We ...

Link between Alginate Reaction Front Propagation and General Reaction Diffusion Theory

Jürgen Brugger, Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Kristopher Pataky, Ana Valero, Ludovica Colella

We provide a common theoretical framework reuniting specific models for the Ca2+-alginate system and general reaction diffusion theory along with experimental validation on a microfluidic chip. As a starting point, we use a set of nonlinear, partial differ ...

A unified approach to dielectric single cell analysis: Impedance and dielectrophoretic force spectroscopy

Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Ana Valero

In this review we present a unified approach for single cell dielectric spectroscopy. Impedance spectroscopy and dielectrophoretic cell sorting, current microtechnologies applied in electrical analysis of single cells are discussed based on their closely r ...
