Biomimetic surface patterning for long-term transmembrane access

Here we present a planar patch clamp chip based on biomimetic cell membrane fusion. This architecture uses nanometer length-scale surface patterning to replicate the structure and function of membrane proteins, creating a gigaohm seal between the cell and ...

Integration of 2D and 3D Thin Film Glassy Carbon Electrode Arrays for Electrochemical Dopamine Sensing in Flexible Neuroelectronic Implants

Philippe Renaud, André Mercanzini, Jules John Vandersarl

Here we present the development and characterization of a flexible implantable neural probe with glassy carbon electrode arrays. The use of carbon electrodes allows for these devices to be used as chemical sensors, in addition to their typical use as elect ...

On-Chip Fabrication of Paclitaxel-Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapeutics

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi, Jules John Vandersarl, Shahin Bonakdar, Fatemeh Sadat Majedi

The use of solvent-free microfluidics to fine-tune the physical and chemical properties of chitosan nanoparticles for drug delivery is demonstrated. Nanoparticle self-assembly is driven by pH changes in a water environment, which increases biocompatibility ...

A microfluidic approach to synthesizing high-performance microfibers with tunable anhydrous proton conductivity

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi, Fatemeh Sadat Majedi, Jules John Vandersarl

Here, we demonstrate a new approach for the synthesis of ion exchange microfibers with finely tuned anhydrous conductivity. This work presents microfluidics as a system to control the size and phosphoric acid (PA) doping level of the polybenzimidazole (PBI ...
