This paper reports the new combination of cell sorting and counting capabilities on a single device. Most state-of-the-art devices combining these technologies use optical techniques requiring complicate experimental setups and labeled samples. The use of ...
The goals of tissue engineering include recapitulating specific tissue functions for regenerative medicine and developing in vitro models of human tissues to study human physiology and pathophysiology and for testing and screening drugs before expensive cl ...
In this thesis, a new microfabricated flow cytometer for single cell discrimination based on dielectric spectroscopy is presented. Integrated tools for rapid in-flow cell handling are also demonstrated. Signal amplification and analysis as well as the chip ...

The protooncogene MYC has been implicated in both the proliferation and programmed cell death of lymphoid cells, and in the genesis of lymphoid tumors. Here, we report that overexpression of MYC, as found in many lymphomas, can break immune tolerance. Mice ...
A review. New, improved phenotypes. Somatic hypermutation in immune cells can be used for the fast directed evolution of proteins other than Igs (e.g., autofluorescent proteins). The target gene is inserted into the genome of activated B lymphocytes where ...
In vertebrates, pigment cells account for a small percentage of the total cell population and they intermingle with other cell types. This makes it difficult to isolate them for analyzes of their functions in the context of development. To alleviate such d ...
In contrast to oncoretroviruses, lentiviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) are able to integrate their genetic material into the genome of nonproliferating cells that are metabolically active. Likewise, vectors derived from HIV-1 can tran ...
Steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3/ACTR/AIB-1/pCIP/RAC3/TRAM-1) is a member of the p160 family of nuclear receptor coactivators that plays an important role in mammary gland growth, development, and tumorigenesis. We show that deletion of SRC-3 gene dec ...
Lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity has been proposed to consist of the polarized secretion of granule-stored perforin leading to target-cell lysis. Nevertheless, perforin-independent pathways were postulated to explain the cytolytic activity of apparently pe ...
