Electrophoretic Nuclei Assembly for Crystallization of High Performance Membranes on Unmodified Supports

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Jing Zhao

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) films have recently emerged as highly permselective membranes yielding orders of magnitude higher gas permeance than that from the conventional membranes. However, synthesis of highly-intergrown, ultrathin MOF films on porou ...

Ultrathin Alumina Membranes as Scaffold for Epithelial Cell Culture from the Intestine of Rainbow Trout

Philippe Renaud, Kristin Schirmer, Songmei Wu, Carolin Drieschner

Permeable membranes are indispensable for in vitro epithelial barrier models. However, currently available polymer-based membranes are low in porosity and relatively thick, resulting in a limited permeability and unrealistic culture conditions. In this stu ...

Elastic and dynamic properties of membrane phase-field models

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Phase-field models have been extensively used to study interfacial phenomena, from solidification to vesicle dynamics. In this article, we analyze a phase-field model that captures the relevant physical features that characterize biological membranes. We s ...

Abnormal creatine transport of mutations in monocarboxylate transporter 12 (MCT12) found in patients with age-related cataract can be partially rescued by exogenous chaperone CD147

Membrane transporters influence biological functions in the ocular lens. Here, we investigate the monocarboxylate transporter 12 (MCT12), also called creatine transporter 2 (CRT2), which is found in the ocular lens and is involved in cataract. As the age-r ...

Piezoresistive Membrane Surface Stress Sensors for Characterization of Breath Samples of Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Terunobu Akiyama, Frédéric Loizeau, Pedro Romero, Christoph Gerber

For many diseases, where a particular organ is affected, chemical by-products can be found in the patient's exhaled breath. Breath analysis is often done using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, but interpretation of results is difficult and time-co ...

Integrated angular tracking and plasmonic membrane surfaces for a point of a care refractive index sensor

Hatice Altug, Harry Heinzelmann, Cenk Ibrahim Özdemir, Marie-Claude Bay

We present an optical system which integrates a plasmonic sensing surface and an angular tracking system to enable a compact refractive index measurement. A refractive index change at the surface of the sensing membrane causes a change in the angle at whic ...
