C. elegans is an attractive model organism in biology, as it shows genetic similarity with humans, facilitates microscopic observation due to its transparency, and has a short life cycle. Moreover, many mutants expressing fluorescent proteins in particular ...
In this work we dive into key questions regarding the wetting of a nanoscale droplet which
provides fundamental understanding of Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth mode of nanowires. This
understanding is important to performreproducible NW fabrication and allow th ...
Hydrodynamic-based microfluidic platforms enable single-cell arraying and analysis over time. Despite the advantages of established microfluidic systems, long-term analysis and proliferation of cells selected in such devices require off-chip recovery of ce ...
In contrast to conventional microfluidics, where liquids are typically manipulated within closed channels, open-space microfluidics has emerged as a new class of techniques that are well suited for ver-satile interaction with biological substrates. In part ...
With the advent of high-throughput and genome-wide screening initiatives, there is a need for improved methods for cell-based assays. Current approaches require expensive equipment, rely on large-scale culturing formats not suited for small or rare sample ...
Liquid-liquid microfluidic systems rely on the intricate control over the fluid properties of either miscible or immiscible mixtures. Herein, we report on the use of partially miscible binary liquid mixtures that lend their microfluidic properties from a h ...
Microfluidic models are proving to be powerful systems to study fundamental processes in porous media, due to their ability to replicate topologically complex environments while allowing detailed, quantitative observations at the pore scale. Yet, while por ...
Triboelectric nanogenerators are establishing themselves as promising candidates for realizing high-efficient energy harvesting from largely available droplets. However, the conventional droplet-based liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerator (DLS-TENG) has ...
Peripheral nerves are often interfaced with cuff-based and microchannel-based nerve implants so that neural activity may be stimulated, inhibited and/or recorded. In vivo evaluation of these interfaces is mandatory but often time-consuming, and focused on ...
Since the first compartmentalized neuronal culture described by Robert B. Campenot in 1977, compartmentalized microfluidic devices have been widely used to engineer the cellular environment for cell culture. In previous research by Dr. Anja Kunze, a microf ...
