Label-free identification of activated T lymphocytes through tridimensional microsensors on chip

Carlotta Guiducci, Elena Bianchi, George Coukos, Enrica Rollo, Enrico Tenaglia, Alexandre Harari

Label-free approaches to assess cell properties ideally suit the requirements of cell-based therapeutics, since they permit to characterize cells with minimal perturbation and manipulation, at the benefit of sample recovery and re-employment for treatment. ...

Fabrication of Biocompatible Monolithic Microchannels with High Pressure-Resistance Using Direct Polymerization of PEG-Modified PMMA

Martinus Gijs, Ata Tuna Ciftlik, Elena Bianchi

Withstanding high pressures in polymeric microchannels is an important requirement for many biological applications. Here, a simple direct polymerization through a polyester photomask is applied to obtain monolithic polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified poly( ...

Metal-coated silicon micropillars for freestanding 3D-electrode arrays in microchannels

Carlotta Guiducci, Samuel Kilchenmann, Elena Bianchi, Enrica Rollo

This paper presents a fabrication process for arrays of high-aspect-ratio micropillar electrodes, which are freestanding 3D structures that feature metal sidewalls connected to passivated planar wires. Facing vertical electrodes are considered to be a key ...

Microfluidics for in vitro biomimetic shear stress-dependent leukocyte adhesion assays

Elena Bianchi

Recruitment of leukocytes from blood to tissues is a multi-step process playing a major role in the activation of inflammatory responses. Tethering and rolling of leukocytes along the vessel wall, followed by arrest and transmigration through the endotheli ...
