Transport of individual cells or chemical payloads on a subcellular scale is an enabling tool for the study of cellular communication, cell migration, and other localized phenomena. We present a magnetically actuated robotic system for the fully automated ...
Aim: Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIO-NPs) are under development for imaging and drug delivery; however, their interaction with human blood brain barrier models is not known. Materials & Methods: The uptake, reactive oxygen spec ...
We report on the characterization of micro-fabricated alkali vapor cells, sealed by low-temperature thin-film metallic bonding. The low sealing temperatures ≤ 140°C are of high interest in view of future micro-fabricated cells using anti-relaxation wall co ...
The formation and maintenance of boundaries between neighbouring groups of embryonic cells is vital for development because groups of cells with distinct functions must often be kept physically separated. Furthermore, because cells at the boundary often ta ...
The pancreas plays a central role in metabolism. The exocrine pancreas, composed of ductal and acinar cells, secretes and delivers digestive enzymes into the duodenum where they contribute to food digestion. The endocrine pancreas, constituted by the islet ...
For such biomedical applications as single cell manipulation and targeted delivery of chemicals, it is important to fabricate microstructures that can be powered and controlled without a tether in fluidic environments. In this work, we describe the constru ...
Patients with MCPH (autosomal recessive primary microcephaly) exhibit impaired brain development, presumably due to the compromised function of neuronal progenitors. Seven MCPH loci have been identified, including one that encodes centrosome protein 4.1 as ...
In our laboratory, we have shown previously that bone fetal cells enhance osteogenesis in polymeric scaffolds. However, little is known about the longevity of these cells in vivo, and hence their function. A successful tissue engineering approach needs und ...
Perinatal inflammation is a major risk factor for neurological deficits in preterm infants. Several experimental studies have shown that systemic inflammation can alter the programming of the developing brain. However, these studies do not offer detailed p ...
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia undergo rapid activation in response to even minor pathological changes in the CNS. The activation state of microglia and tissue macrophages is characterized by two extr ...
