Acoustic and Magnetic Techniques for the Isolation and Analysis of Cells in Microfluidic Platforms
(2016)Cancer comprises a collection of diseases, all of which begin with abnormal tissue growth from various stimuli, including (but not limited to): heredity, genetic mutation, exposure to harmful substances, radiation as well ... -
Digital Microfluidics for the Detection of Inorganic Ions in Aerosols
(2018)The quantitative measurement of inorganic ions in the atmosphere is an important aspect in environmental science. The three most important inorganic ions are sulfate, nitrate and ammonium, which are the most abundant components ... -
Elucidation of the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Estrogen-Mediated Estrogen Receptor Activation
(2017)Every cell in our body contains the same genetic material, but what differentiates one cell type from another is the way in which that material is interpreted. Hidden in the 98% of non-coding DNA sequences, once referred ... -
Enabling Technologies for Synthetic Biology: Gene Synthesis and Error-Correction from a Microarray-Microfluidic Integrated Device
(2011)Promising applications in the design of various biological systems hold critical implications as heralded in the rising field of synthetic biology. But, to achieve these goals, the ability to synthesize in situ DNA constructs ... -
Evaluation of a digital microfluidic real-time PCR platform to detect DNA of Candida albicans in blood.
(Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis, 2012-09)Species of Candida frequently cause life-threatening infections in neonates, transplant and intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and others with compromised host defenses. The successful management of systemic candidiasis ... -
Magnetomicrofluidics Circuits for Organizing Bioparticle Arrays
(2017)Single-cell analysis (SCA) tools have important applications in the analysis of phenotypic heterogeneity, which is difficult or impossible to analyze in bulk cell culture or patient samples. SCA tools thus have a myriad ... -
Microfluidic platform versus conventional real-time polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in respiratory specimens.
(Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis, 2010-05)Rapid, accurate diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae is compromised by low sensitivity of culture and serology. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has emerged as a sensitive method to ... -
Microfluidic-generated Double Emulsions for Cell Study, Drug Delivery and Particle Therapeutics Fabrication
(2015)Droplet microfluidics is a powerful platform for both fundamental and applied biomedical research. The droplets are small in size with a diameter of 1-300 um. Thus, they could function as a miniaturized environment ... -
Peptide-Based Stimuli-Responsive Materials for Bioanalytical Applications
(2017)Surfaces with switchable properties in response to external stimuli (e.g., temperature and pH) have attracted substantial research interest because of their ability to modulate biomolecule activity, protein immobilization, ... -
Simultaneous two-wavelength transmission quantitative phase microscopy with a color camera.
(Opt Lett, 2010-08-01)We present a quantitative phase microscopy method that uses a Bayer mosaic color camera to simultaneously acquire off-axis interferograms in transmission mode at two distinct wavelengths. Wrapped phase information is processed ...
