Actuated 3D microgels for single cell mechanobiology

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Berna Ayse Özkale Edelmann, Christina Myra Tringides

We present a new cell culture technology for large-scale mechanobiology studies capable of generating and applying optically controlled uniform compression on single cells in 3D. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are individually encapsulated inside an optical ...

Device and process for tissue-engineering and regenerative medicine

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Thomas Michael Braschler, Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal, Daniel Naveed Tavakol, Martina Genta

A process and device for direct in-vitro to in-vivo transfer of a living microcarrier culture by controlled dehydration into a viscoelastic material capable of cell-protection during delivery. One particular purpose of the present invention is that of prov ...

On‐chip technology for single‐cell arraying, electrorotation‐based analysis and selective release

Carlotta Guiducci, Samuel Kilchenmann, Kevin Keim, Paul Karoly Otto Ery, Mohamed Zakarya Alsaid Ali Rashed

This paper reports a method for label-free single-cell biophysical analysis of multiple cells trapped in suspension by electrokinetic forces. Tri-dimensional pillar electrodes arranged along the width of a microfluidic chamber define actuators for single c ...

Engineered peptide macrocycles can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases with high selectivity

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Jeremy Touati, Michal Sabisz, Alice Baumann

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc‐dependent endopeptidases at the intersection of health and disease due to their involvement in processes such as tissue repair and immunity as well as cancer and inflammation. Because of the high structural conserv ...

Subsurface ablation of tissue by ultrafast laser

Thomas Jean Victor Marie Lanvin

Laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) is a multiphoton process which can be used for selective removal of material. It revolves around the creation of a plasma in the focal volume of a beam, and requires very high peak intensities in the order of the GW.c ...

Integrated biosensors for cell culture monitoring

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Jacopo Olivo, Cristina Boero

Biosensors for endogenous compounds, such as glucose and lactate, are applied to monitor cell cultures. Cells can be cultivated for several purposes, such as understanding and modeling some biological mechanisms, the development of new drugs and therapies, ...
